Smith Prodigy Turbo Fan Goggle
Foggy goggles suck. Protect yourself from clouded vision with the Smith Prodigy Turbo Fan Goggle, which uses a two-speed micro fan to provide additional ventilation. The Prodigy also features a spherical, Carbonic-X lens with Smith's TLT Optics for clarity, and dual-layer DriWix face foam for a comfortable fit. The Articulated Outrigger Positioning System helps the Prodigy fit snugly with or without a helmet.
Bottom Line: Forget fog in these goggles.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

There aren't any on bc.com at the moment, but you could look on the Smith website, and find them. Same lenses as the normal Prodigy.

they arent the same lenses...these have no vents, i assume the turbo fans performance would be hidered by exterior vents on the lenses

I had seen a few climbers with these on everest
and say why not try them , very light fan system works great has 3 speeds
took these up to the summit of mt. washington IN april mh has had the highest record wind speed on the planet, so wanted a no fog so I would not have to take my gloves off to clean.
I will take them up when I go back in dec. via lion head which is compared to the hillary step on everest
then taking these to mt rainer next year best in class.
are these goggles designed to wear over my glasses?

Not specifically, but they're pretty big so they should work. Search for Smith's OTG (over the glasses) line to find ones that are designed for the purpose.

Well, in case you were wondering the turbo fan really does work! I am an ex-college o-lineman, so needles to say I work up a real sweat on the Mt. and I had some problems with other goggles fogging up (even ones with vents) so I bought these hoping they would keep the fog at bay, and they most definitly do, even on a 50 degree blubird day at Kirkwood last January, no fog! They are sized to fit bigger faces and work awesome with my helmet.

You would have to go directly through Smith and they would be able to get everything set up. I would just give them a call. Here is there number 800-635-4401

Fog-Free Fan
By: wrbtu
January 4, 2009
I use these goggles for eye protection for outdoor winter work, like snow blowing & wood chopping. I've tried several other brands of industrial work goggles, tactical goggles, & snow goggles, all claiming to be "fog-free." In reality, this is the only pair I've found that actually stays fog-free after more than a few minutes of work. And they do fit over my eyeglasses. I wish I had found these sooner, because I've wasted far more money on past goggles that fogged up than I spent on these.
Can you buy spare parts for the fan guard? As I crashed while
Can you buy spare parts for the fan guard? As I crashed while I was skiing and the fan guard is now missing off my goggles. Cheers

Smith has a limited lifetime warranty, so your best bet would be to shoot their warranty department an email. They should be able to hook you up, but they might charge you if they think that it was due to "normal wear and tear"

I got these straight from smith after having fogging problems with the regular prodigys. I have taken my share of diggers and headers this season and the fan seems like it has developed a type of short. The fan runs slower, even on high, and sometimes would just stop. They did work before they "shorted". I have never had a pair of goggles that would not fog and the turbo fan worked when it was working right. Guess they are no that durable
The Sensor mirror is a light rose base lens tint with a multi-layer mirror that totally maximizes color definition and increases depth perception in varying conditions. It has a 70% VLT.--------------And it's the best flat light lens ever.

Any one who has problems with fogging these are a must have.
I have used them in the backcountry , and resort skiing, they have always performed.
They are large on your face, but who cares how you look when your working for first tracks.

These goggles worked great until I was eaten by a back country snow drift that sank me over my head. After that, the fan never worked again, which is not the worst thing. Getting the POWDER out with my hand, just like I had done frequently with an older, cheap pair of goggles, left these Smiths unusable - totally scratched up over half the lens where I had picked out little slush chunks.

this may be a stupid question but is there any other type of ventilation system other than the fan? I can't really tell from the pictures and was wondering in case the fan were to break.
By: Will

Not really. The lens doesn't have the vents in the front like most do, so if the fan breaks you're SOL.

Smith turbo goggles with glasses
By: Doug Werner

I have used the Smith turbo goggles with eye glasses for several years and they work great. Make sure they fit over your eye glasses. Also make sure the air inlet at the top of the goggle is not blocked by your hat or helmet (I cut out a small notch in my helmet to improve the air flow)

I got these after my I/O's fogged up consistently, ruining a day at Alta. I sweat a bit in all conditions, so I think that led to it. Got these, they took care of that problem.
The good: no fog ever, good fit for my huge melon, mirrored lens works well.
The bad: lenses scratch easily, expensive, if fan breaks you're back to square one, you can hear the fan even on low.
Has anyone tried these goggles with the sensor mirror lenses?
Has anyone tried these goggles with the sensor mirror lenses? How well do they work compared to the normal r36 lens?
By: min2558701
November 22, 2008
Sure have! They're really nice lenses for super sunny days. The r36's are great for everything else..... first thing in the morning, afternoon to evening. They're great all 'round lenses.

Smith Lenses are not durable.
By: tim schnurr
January 26, 2009
skiied them 2 days under the snowguns of northeast the lense scratched. Called Smith and they were no hope and lenses are not under warranty pretty much under any circumstances. Unfortunetely Smith Goggles don't hold the same standards of the sunglasses. At least, Oakley, Bolle, Spy are customer service friendly.

I really like the look and functionality of these goggles but I am female and have a small face. Are they going to be Ok or is there a similar brand with good lenses and turbo fan out there for women?
By: min2558701
November 22, 2008
These wouldn't be too bad, but I'd take a look at either Giro's or Zeals... but preferably Zeals.Hope that helps.
By: Steve Tibbitts
November 27, 2008
unless your glasses are super low profile I doubt they will fit under any non-glasses specific goggle.*************************The Smith Knowledge OTG Tubo Fan Series goggle will fit over your glasses and is in the same price range as theses. For about half the price, the Smith Knowledge OTGs and Oakley Proven Over the Glass do the same thing. By the way, WHY ARE YOU YELLING!? Relax; people will answer your questions.
