FAQs
What is the main advantage of the 4D Mag XL goggles?
The primary advantage is their significantly expanded field of view, offering 13% more vision than previous models, which enhances safety and awareness on the slopes.
How easy is it to swap lenses with the MAG system?
The MAG system uses magnets for a quick and intuitive lens-change process, allowing for fast adaptation to changing light conditions without tools.
Are these goggles suitable for people who wear prescription glasses?
Yes, the 4D Mag XL features an XL frame designed for Over-The-Goggle (OTG) compatibility, ensuring a comfortable fit over most prescription eyeglasses.
How do the goggles prevent fogging?
They utilize a 5X anti-fog inner lens, integrated AirEvac ventilation to exhaust warm air, and moisture-wicking DriWix face foam to maintain a clear, fog-free view.
What kind of protection do the lenses offer?
The lenses provide 100% UVA/UVB protection to shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.
What is included with the goggles?
The goggles come with two lenses (one for bright light, one for low light/storm), a protective hardcase, and a microfiber goggle bag with a spare lens sleeve.
How should I clean the lenses?
Always use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or chemical cleaners that can damage the lens coatings.
Troubleshooting
Goggles fogging up
Ensure the 5X anti-fog inner lens is not scratched or damaged. Make sure the AirEvac ventilation system is not blocked by snow or debris. Allow goggles to air dry completely after use. Avoid touching the inner lens.
Difficulty changing lenses
Ensure you are pulling firmly at the magnetic connection points. If resistance is high, check for any obstructions or ice around the magnetic interfaces. Do not force the lens.
Strap not staying in place
Ensure the silicone backing on the strap is clean and free from dirt or lotions. Adjust the strap for a snug, but not overly tight, fit. Ensure the strap is properly integrated with your helmet if applicable.
Reduced visibility in certain conditions
Ensure you have selected the appropriate ChromaPop lens for the current light conditions. Refer to the lens guide provided with the product for optimal usage scenarios.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The goggles come pre-fitted with a primary lens. To change the lens, firmly grasp the lens and frame at the designated magnetic connection points and pull gently. The magnets will guide the new lens into place when brought near the frame. Ensure the lens is fully seated. The goggles are designed to integrate seamlessly with Smith helmets, providing a comfortable and gap-free fit that enhances ventilation. They are also Over-The-Goggle (OTG) compatible, meaning they can be worn over most prescription eyeglasses.
Care: Always store the goggles in the provided microfiber goggle bag with the spare lens sleeve to prevent scratches. Clean lenses with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they can damage lens coatings. After use in wet conditions, allow the goggles to air dry completely before storing. Do not leave them in direct sunlight or extreme heat for extended periods, as this can damage the foam and lens.
Included: Two lenses (one for bright light, one for low light/storm conditions), a protective hardcase, and a microfiber goggle bag with a spare lens sleeve.
