Smith Prodigy Goggle
Smith uses its spherical Carbonic-X lens to give you super-clear vision when you ride with the Prodigy Goggle. A Vaparator lens with adjustable vents helps you regulate airflow and eliminate fogging while the spherical shape increases peripheral vision. Smith added an Articulating Outrigger Positioning System to create an excellent fit whether you prefer a helmet or just roll with a beanie.
Bottom Line: Precise fit, excellent vision, and fog-fighting performance.

i love the most challenging of conditions...and these goggles meet them all. i have never had a fogged or iced up day with these. riding the snowbird tram can be challenging coming in and out of the elements so many times daily. a bad goggle day can make a bad day...i have had only clear vision with these. all good days...also i stuff them in an out of my pack on expedition regularly. the construction in bomber!
great goggle for the larger face

Smith has arguably the best venting system on the market and it is clear (no pun intended) with these goggles. Smith's lens quality is seconded to none. The goggles fit great and fit seamlessly with smith helmets. If you have a medium to large face they fit great. If you don't they can be a little overwhelming, especially with certain helmets.
Bottom line: Top notch goggle, for medium to large size faces.

Just wondring on the Ignitor Mirror lense, is this a pretty good all around lense and can they see your eyes? Then also they have one gold lense but it just says gol. does anyone know which gold lense it is? Thanks.

Ignitor mirror is a good all around lens but doesn't perform all that well in real flat light. According to the Smith website, the only gold lens that comes stock in the Prodigy goggles is the Gold Sensor Mirror.

Great helmet fit / Sensor Mirror rocks!
By: Jay Turcot

The shape of the prodigy's have a more box cut (compared to an Oakley A-frame) and as a result fits great with the cutout of my helmet. Alot of helmets I see have a cutout that's more square than round, so a goggle like this sits flush.
I've got Sensor mirror lenses: Amazing!
Had them in a 0 vis day back-country in clouds. Anything your naked eye can detect without them on gets the contrast boosted with the goggles on. Not to say your eye couldn't see them if you really tried hard, but if you're going down a run, you want any crud to stand out and the sensor mirror does that.
You can also customize the frames' look with removable "highlight" pieces (one at the top like a uni-brow, and one under each eye on the bottom). Seems less sturdy when you flex it in your hands since there are removable parts but it's of no concern. I switched mine to straight black for a solid black frame and like it alot.

One word...ventilation! These will not fog up. If they do for some unknown reason, they dispense the fog just as well. Smith has done it again with an amazing goggle that offers looks as well as the best tech out there. Everyone knows they've been doing goggles, first...and the longest right?!
Love these goggles

This is my favorite piece of ski equipment I own. No gripes and all praise.
I have had these goggles for 2.5 winters now and they are still close to as awesome as the day I bought them. The only damage to the frame and lens is tree induced and completely my fault and less then I would expect from what happened. (I ran into a large evergreen limb with lots of little sticks on it with my face) The sensor mirror looks cool while providing the best visibility from a goggle lens in the widest range of conditions. I have skied days that ranged from torrential downpour to sunny bluebird and not once have these goggles let me down. The times I doubted them, I took them off my head to find out that I could only see worse without them on my face.
They also fit great. I have a bigger head so I bought these and they have fit my head and two different helmets perfectly. The face foam is great, its fleece lined and wicks sweat away from your skin on those warm spring days while sealing out cold wind in the middle of February.
I ski 100+ days every winter and I take these goggles with me every day. I have gotten way more use out of them than I ever expected, the zeals i had before them hardly lasted half a season before the inter lens seam failed, and when the face foam finally falls apart (its starting and I'm kinda sad) after what I expect will be around 400 days on the mountain, I will happily buy another pair of these goggles.

It depends on your face shape. The Phenom frame is a little bit smaller/ narrower than the Prodigy. I have a bigger noggin so I prefer the Prodigy.

Someone commented about the ease of lens change. Lens change isn't that bad, I've had 4 pairs. Field of vision in these is comparable to EG2s, but with actual effort put into lens technology. (Electric lens' are shite, they fog easy and have a bit of distortion). If you want really easy lens change, spring for the I/O.
Nice goggles.

Great goggles that give you reat ventalation, great cover, and a great view of whatever snowsport your doing. They dont scratch and work great with your helmet. My only problem is the price, pretty expensive for a pair of these babies.

These are some well-made, sharp-looking goggles, with a nice selection of lenses available. Also larger than average, so people with big faces/heads will be happy. (Although the strap seemed unusually small; it was awfully tight going around a Giro Omen helmet.) The wide selection of colors/patterns means you can probably find something to match your outfit, no matter how steezy.
The lenses are nice. The problem is, I really wanted goggles with easily interchangeable lenses. And while the lenses in these ARE interchangeable, it's NOT easy or quick. You have to pry out SEVEN little plastic pieces from around the frame, then wrangle the lens out, then reverse the whole process with the new lens. Good luck doing that with gloves on, let alone on the slopes. (Also, extremely poor/nonexistent instructions on how to actually remove the lens.)
If you only rarely want to swap the lenses, or just want them with a single all-around lens, they'd probably be awesome. I'm gonna try the Smith I/Os instead.

By: dan

I disagree with the platimun mirror answer, this lens does not let a lot of light through. So, unless you're skiing a southwest fave at sunset and staring directly at the sun, you need something that lets a lot of light in while increasing contrast. So, I reccomend the sensor mirror. It enhances contrast in almost all variable light conditions I have experienced, including, the super fast last bump run to the car at the end of the day.

I bought my first Prodigies 3 years ago and loved them so much I bought another pair with the polarized lenses. These are great goggles for sure, I've never had a fogging problem even on long hikes. They also fit my G10 helmet great! no gapper gap at all. Defiantly one of the best goggles out there.
no fog problems here!
By: JR!

I have never had a fog problem with these goggles when I have with numerous others. The graphite igniter lens does a great job in lower light conditions but will also do ok in bright light. Would recommend a darker lens for super bright days though.

The sizing chart has a list of all the lenses and what they're good for, but either the sensor mirror or ignitor mirror sound best.******************EDIT: Gold or Gold lite are your best bets for low and flat light. They allow 42 and 55% light transmission respectively, so you'd want a lens for sunny days too.

Smith goggles are the best when it comes to venting and fit perfectly with a helmet. These are top of the line goggles for sure.

The fit is great, they don't fog, the peripheral vision is outstanding and most importantly the lenses are amazing in all light conditions....

No fog Goggles with glasses
By: John Goulet
November 29, 2008
The ski goggles all advertise that they don't fog and that may be true for those that don't need glasses yet. I tried three of the newest hi-teck goggles last year and they all fogged up. The only ones that work is the ones that really don't fog are the Smith Turbo Cam goggles with the 2 speed fan. I've had them for about 6-7 years and hope I can buy another pair or some different color lenses. I added Velcro strip to make the strap longer for use with the helmet and because Smith uses the worst clip and for the price you don't want to loose them. A simple piece of velco adds assurance if you put the goggles up, on a warm day they won't unclip and get lost.

i love these goggles, and the lenses are super easy to take in/out. I have two pairs, and 2 hop-up kits. combined, you never know what they're going to look like! the spherical tech is AMAZING! if you rock an ol' school Giro helmet, you'll end up with a little goggle gap, so heads up gapers!
Impeccable Peripheral vision

This goggles are incredible in the way you are able to view the area in front and around you. The peripheral vision this gog provides is unreal, as well as the anti-fog. I am never going back to Oakley

By: Cyrus Baumgarten
February 24, 2009
Go to the smith website and there is a lot of detail. Platinum mirror is one of the darkest regularly available lenses (but I still ride with them 99% of the time); Ignitor is a bit lighter with more contrast; Sensor is the lightest of the "Mirror" lenses. RC36 is sorta like the old-school orange/rose tint lense.

Giro Helmet w speakers
By: John Goulet
November 29, 2008
I love the easy adjust vent on this helmet you can adjust it while skiing. I'm comfortable in all temperatures. Inaddition to the safety you stay dry in the rain or wet snow that you run into occassionally. The speakers in the ear muffs need more padding, I may just take them out since I never use them.
