Product Information
Full details
The Smith 4D Mag Ski Goggles are designed for skiers and snowboarders with smaller faces seeking enhanced vision and quick lens changes. Their key benefit is providing a wide field of view with crystal-clear optics, adapted for rapid adjustments to changing light. A potential caveat is that while designed for smaller faces, fit can still vary, and helmet compatibility should always be confirmed. These goggles integrate advanced technology for optimal performance, including a magnetic lens-change system, superior ventilation, and comfortable, moisture-wicking materials.

FAQs
How do I change the lenses on my Smith 4D Mag goggles?
The 4D MAG™ system uses magnets to secure the lens. Simply locate the magnetic points on the frame, align the new lens with these points, and gently press until the magnets engage and the lens is securely in place. Reverse the process to remove.
What is ChromaPop™ technology?
ChromaPop™ is Smith's proprietary lens technology designed to enhance contrast and natural color. It filters out 'confusing' light wavelengths, allowing the lens to provide greater definition, crisper color, and clear vision of terrain features.
Are these goggles suitable for people who wear glasses?
While these goggles are designed with a wide field of view and ventilation, they are not explicitly designated as OTG (Over The Glasses) goggles. Compatibility with prescription eyewear can vary greatly depending on the size and shape of the glasses. It is recommended to try them on with your glasses if possible.
How do I clean the lenses without damaging them?
Gently wipe the lenses with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using tissues, paper towels, or any abrasive materials, as they can scratch the lens coating. Do not use chemical cleaners.
What is the benefit of the AirEvac™ ventilation system?
AirEvac™ is designed to pull air away from the goggle's interior and out through vents in the frame. This system helps to reduce fogging by managing moisture and heat buildup, ensuring clearer vision during activity.
Do these goggles come with a protective case?
Yes, the Smith 4D Mag Ski Goggles typically come with a protective hardcase and a microfiber goggle bag, which includes a sleeve for the spare lens.
What does 'Low Bridge Fit' mean?
Low Bridge Fit refers to a goggle design that is optimized for individuals with a lower or wider nose bridge. It ensures a more comfortable and secure fit by adjusting the nose pad area and frame geometry.
Troubleshooting
Goggles fog up excessively.
Ensure the AirEvac™ ventilation ports are clear of snow or debris. Allow the DriWix foam to air dry completely after use. Avoid touching the inside of the lens, as oils can degrade anti-fog properties. Try to avoid resting the goggles on your helmet when not worn.
Lens is difficult to change.
Ensure you are aligning the magnets correctly. Apply firm, even pressure to seat the lens. If resistance is felt, double-check for any obstructions or improper alignment before forcing.
Goggles feel uncomfortable or create pressure points.
Adjust the ultra-wide strap for a more balanced fit. Ensure the goggles are centered on your face and not being pulled too tightly by the strap. If you have a smaller nose bridge, confirm you are using the correct fit option (e.g., Low Bridge Fit).
Strap is slipping.
Make sure the silicone backing on the strap is clean and free from dirt or oils. Ensure the strap is positioned correctly over your helmet or headwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
The Smith 4D Mag Ski Goggles come with two lenses, pre-installed with one. The second lens is typically stored in the included microfiber bag. To swap lenses, align the magnets on the new lens with the corresponding points on the goggle frame and gently press until secured. Ensure the lens is fully seated and the magnets have engaged.
Compatibility:
These goggles are designed to integrate seamlessly with Smith helmets for optimal airflow and fit. While they aim for broad helmet compatibility, it's always recommended to test the goggle and helmet combination in person if possible to ensure no pressure points or gaps occur. Low Bridge Fit options are available for those who need a better fit on the bridge of the nose.
Care Instructions:
- Lenses: Always handle lenses by the frame edges to avoid fingerprints. Clean lenses with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they can damage lens coatings.
- Frame & Foam: Wipe the frame with a damp cloth if necessary. The DriWix face foam should be allowed to air dry completely after use to prevent moisture buildup and maintain its wicking properties. Do not machine wash or submerge the foam.
- Storage: Store the goggles in the provided hardcase when not in use to protect the lenses from scratches. Use the microfiber goggle bag for transport and to protect the spare lens.
