Smith Knowledge OTG Goggle - 2008

The simple truth is I wear glasses and I hate it. Before I would go on to the mountain with my Spy goggles and no glasses. This ended badly. So I gave these Smiths a shot. They fit great and the vents work as advertise in keeping everything fog free. However, there is always a however, when you stop moving, your glasses start to fog up. The goggles aren't the problem, I would imagine that any goggles designed to be worn over glasses will perform similarly. The only time Im not moving is when I come to the bottom of the run, I then just wear the goggles round my neck, problem solved. Thats a small price to pay to be able to see the details in the snow. I might give the antifog stuff designed for Scuba diving.

Bought the Smith Holt Brain Bucket and with the OTGs work as a system to keep keep you fog free!

Well, after an onslaught of freezing, frosty snow, that clung to everything, including goggles, I finally had to get a new pair...as an individual who needs eye protection because I only have one eye, it was imperative that I find a goggle that fit over my polycarbonite impact resistant glasses and after careful review and study, and budget constraints, I believe the Smith Knowledge OTG goggle fills the bill nicely...although they do fog up when I amble into the steaming hot lodge, I noticed that everyones goggles were also fogged up. I use a Smith No Fog cloth on the outside and that works well until I bite it and get them all packed with snow. They are super comfy and provide exceptional vision and seem to be fairly "scratch resistant" at this point. I have the RC36 lens in them and my only wish would be to have a more amber colored lens because at the end-of-the-day, I did have a little contrast perception difficulty. Overall though, ya can't beat this pair of goggles and they are a great bargain for around $60 smacker's. As a snowboard instructor, I often am either standing around a lot or moving very slowly down the bunny hill and have had no fogging issues with the goggle nor my glasses, but like I said, use of the Smith No Fog cloth helps considerably.

I love these goggles. Excellent peripheral vision. Fit my big face/melon nicely (XL helmet). I don't even wear glasses but will be looking for another pair of these this summer when they go on sale. I ski 20+ days a year in Colorado. Never ever a problem with fogging (I wear a helmet). These are definitely substance over style. You decide which is important.

Still getting foggy glasses, comfortable though if you don't mind sliding blind...

I agree with Iggy that they do fog up when you stop moving. But you can purchase an anti-fogging product (smiths no-fog cloth) which will help a lot. I have went through over five pairs of goggles just to find the right one, and i have. It's got a great design and its the most comfortable I have worn.
