The best quick-change goggles around.

By Matt Ranked #1238 - Goggles April 17, 2009

I got these after trying the "interchangeable" Smith Prodigy goggles. Those are nice goggles, but you need a workbench and about 15 minutes to actually get one set of lenses out and another set back in, and the little pieces are probably easy to lose. Not something you're going to do on the hill, or probably even in the lodge at lunchtime.

These, on the other hand, have a lightning-fast quick release system that lets you swap in a new set of lenses in a hurry. Need to deal with changing weather conditions? Just tired of the lenses you've been using? About 30 seconds and you're good to go.

The frameless design is a little different, but actually looks really good with most helmets. (I have a Giro G10 right now, and it works perfectly with it.) No problems with fogging for me, even in springtime conditions.

These come with *two* lenses, "Ignitor Mirror" (all-around) and "Platinum Mirror" (bright conditions). The full line of replacement lenses are available from Smith or some other online resellers. I also picked up "Sensor Mirror" (flat light) and Clear (night skiing), which should cover just about anything.
