FAQs
How do I switch between the main lens and the bonus lens?
The Smith Squad goggles feature a semi-rimless design, but lens swapping typically requires specific mechanisms or tools depending on the model year and design. Consult the product manual or official Smith support for detailed instructions on lens interchangeability for this specific model, as it may not be designed for user-swappable lenses.
What is ChromaPop™ technology?
ChromaPop™ is Smith's proprietary lens technology designed to filter out confusing light wavelengths, allowing the eyes to process color and detail more clearly. It enhances contrast and natural color perception, making terrain features and snow conditions more visible.
Are these goggles suitable for snowboarding as well as skiing?
Yes, the Smith Squad Ski Goggles are suitable for both skiing and snowboarding, offering wide-field vision, anti-fog performance, and a secure fit that performs well in dynamic mountain conditions.
What does 'Low Bridge Fit' mean?
Low Bridge Fit is a goggle design that accommodates individuals with lower nose bridges and higher cheekbones. It ensures a proper, comfortable seal and prevents gapping by adjusting the frame geometry and face foam placement.
How should I store my goggles when not in use?
Always store your goggles in the provided microfiber goggle bag. This protects the lenses from scratches and the anti-fog coating from damage. Avoid storing them loose in a backpack or gear bag.
Can I wear prescription glasses under these goggles?
The Smith Squad Ski Goggles are designed with space to accommodate most standard prescription eyewear. Ensure your glasses fit comfortably within the goggles without creating pressure points.
What is the warranty on Smith goggles?
Smith typically offers a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. For specific details, please refer to the warranty information included with your product or visit the official Smith website.
Troubleshooting
Goggles fogging up excessively.
Ensure the goggle frame vents are not blocked by snow or fabric. Make sure the face foam creates a good seal against your face. Do not wipe the inside of the lens; allow the Fog-X treatment to work. If fogging persists, ensure the goggles are not too tight, which can impede airflow.
Strap adjustment slips.
Ensure the dual-slide adjusters are fully engaged. Check that the silicone backing on the strap is clean and free of debris to maintain grip on helmets.
Reduced visibility in certain light conditions.
Swap to the included bonus low-light lens for overcast or snowy days. For very bright conditions, ensure you are using the appropriate lens for optimal contrast and glare reduction.
Difficulty seeing peripheral details.
Adjust the goggle position on your face and helmet for the best possible field of view. While the cylindrical lens offers a wide view, individual perception may vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Smith Squad Ski Goggles require no assembly. Simply remove them from the packaging, detach any protective films from the lenses, and adjust the strap for a comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is securely positioned over your helmet if applicable.
Compatibility: These goggles are designed to be compatible with most modern ski and snowboard helmets. They are available in a medium size and also offer Low Bridge Fit options to accommodate a wider range of facial structures.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and lens clarity:
- Cleaning Lenses: Gently wipe the lenses with the included microfiber goggle bag or a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials, tissues, or paper towels, as these can scratch the lens coating.
- Anti-Fog: Do not attempt to clean the inside of the lens where the Fog-X treatment is applied, as this can damage the anti-fog properties.
- Storage: Store the goggles in the provided microfiber bag when not in use to protect the lenses from scratches and environmental damage.
- Drying: If the face foam becomes wet, allow the goggles to air dry completely away from direct heat sources before storing.
