FAQs

What is ChromaPop technology?

ChromaPop is a lens technology by Smith that filters out 'confusing' light wavelengths, allowing the lens to have improved definition, more natural color, and enhanced clarity to reveal more detail.

How does the Photochromic lens work?

The Photochromic lens contains pigments that react to UV light. When exposed to UV rays, the pigments change color and darken the lens. When UV levels decrease, the pigments revert, and the lens becomes lighter. This process happens automatically.

Can I wear these goggles with prescription glasses?

The Smith Squad goggles are designed as a medium size and may not accommodate most eyeglasses underneath. For prescription eyewear integration, consider specific OTG (Over The Glasses) models.

How do I clean the microfiber goggle bag?

The microfiber bag can be hand-washed with mild detergent and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely before storing your goggles in it.

What is the purpose of the bonus low light lens?

The bonus low light lens is typically a lighter-colored lens designed to enhance contrast and visibility in flat light, overcast, or snowy conditions where overall brightness is reduced.

How often should I replace my ski goggles?

Ski goggles typically last 2-5 years depending on usage and care. Look for signs of wear such as degraded anti-fog coatings, scratches impairing vision, or a stretched-out strap.

Are these goggles suitable for snowboarding as well as skiing?

Yes, the Smith Squad goggles are suitable for both skiing and snowboarding, offering the same benefits of enhanced visibility, comfort, and protection for snow sports.

Troubleshooting

Goggles fogging up excessively

Ensure the frame vents are not blocked. Make sure the goggles are fitting snugly against your face to prevent warm, moist air from entering. Allow goggles to air dry completely after use.

Poor visibility in changing light

Allow the photochromic lens a few minutes to adjust to the new light conditions. If visibility remains an issue, consider swapping to the bonus low light lens if conditions are very overcast.

Goggles feel uncomfortable or create pressure points

Readjust the dual-slide strap for a more even distribution of pressure. Ensure the Responsive Fit frame is sitting correctly on your face. Check if the goggles are compatible with your helmet.

Lens appears scratched

Inspect the lens carefully. If scratches are minor and do not impair vision significantly, continue using as normal. For deep scratches, consider lens replacement if available for this model.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional visibility with ChromaPop lens technology.
  • Wide field of view due to the oversized cylindrical lens.
  • Comfortable and secure fit adaptable to various face shapes.
  • Effective anti-fog properties for consistent clarity.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Smith Squad goggles are ready to use out of the box. Adjust the dual-slide strap to fit comfortably over your helmet or head. Ensure the goggles sit snugly against your face without creating uncomfortable pressure points.

Compatibility: These goggles are designed to be compatible with most ski and snowboard helmets. The medium size and Low Bridge Fit options cater to a broad range of facial structures. The included bonus lens can be swapped out if needed for specific light conditions, though the photochromic lens offers significant versatility.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Lens: Gently wipe the lens with the included microfiber goggle bag or a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive materials, which can scratch the lens.
  2. Anti-Fog: Do not apply anti-fog sprays or solutions, as they can damage the Fog-X treatment. Allow the lens to air dry naturally if it becomes wet.
  3. Storage: Store the goggles in the provided microfiber bag when not in use to protect them from scratches and dust.
  4. Frame Care: Wipe the frame and foam with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid submerging the goggles in water.
