"Great goggles" - Review of Smith Phenom Spherical Series Goggles - Mirror Lens

Rating for this product: 5 By D.Chu (14) on March 29, 2008
Excellent visual acuity, great peripheral vision, no fogging whatsoever. I am Asian and have issues with there being a gap between the bridge of my nose and the goggle foam. It's especially bad with Oakley and Spy goggles. On the flipside, I also have a pretty broad face, so there's not a lot of goggles that can accommodate both... this and the Smith Prodigies do the job. I prefer these because they are much, much lower profile than the Prodigies which are HUGE. One word of warning, there is a small valve in the goggle called the "Porex Filter" in the upper left. You can kind of see it as a small white spot in the upper left of the field of vision, but only if you are looking for it. This was not on the 06 Prodigies I owned, so I don't know if it's a recent feature on Smith's spherical lenses or exclusive to the Phenoms. Don't know how much it actually does... these goggles don't fog on me, but neither did the Prodigies. I hardly even notice it, but neither Dogfunk nor Smith mentions it (they actually seem to airbrush it out of photos) so I figured it warranted mentioning. If you are picky about things like that, I would look elsewhere.
