Are these goggles suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, they come with a primary lens and a bonus lens for low-light conditions, making them versatile for various weather and light environments.
How do I clean the lenses without damaging them?
Gently wipe the lenses with the included microfiber goggle bag or a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.
What is the benefit of the semi-rimless design?
The semi-rimless design contributes to an increased field of view and offers a modern aesthetic.
Can I wear these goggles with my ski helmet?
Yes, the Smith Squad goggles are designed for compatibility with most ski and snowboard helmets.
What is the purpose of the DriWix face foam?
The two-layer DriWix face foam wicks moisture away from your skin, helping to keep you comfortable and dry throughout your ski day.
What does 'Low Bridge Fit' mean?
Low Bridge Fit refers to a specific design adjustment to ensure the goggles sit correctly and comfortably on individuals with lower nose bridges, preventing slippage.
Troubleshooting
Goggles fog up excessively.
Ensure the Fog-X anti-fog treatment is not compromised by cleaning. Check that the frame has a good seal against the face and that vents are not blocked. Allow foam to dry thoroughly after use.
Goggles slip down the nose.
Adjust the dual-slide strap for a tighter fit. Ensure the strap is positioned correctly on the back of the helmet or head. Consider if the Low Bridge Fit option might be more suitable.
Reduced visibility or distorted vision.
Verify that the correct lens is installed for the current light conditions. Clean the lens gently with the microfiber bag. Check for any damage to the lens.
Discomfort or pressure points on the face.
Readjust the strap for a more even fit. The Responsive Fit frame should adapt, but ensure no part of the frame is digging into the skin. Try the Low Bridge Fit option if available and appropriate.

- Drying Foam: After use, allow the DriWix face foam to air dry completely before storing to prevent odor and maintain its wicking properties. Do not place the foam directly on heat sources.
- Storage: Store the goggles in the provided microfiber bag to protect the lenses from scratches and the anti-fog coating from damage.
