Smith IO....take the guess work out of goggle picking


It is a question we get here at our Vermont Ski Shop daily, what lens is the best?  There are lots of ways to answer that question but the bottom line is it depends on the day. What works great on the sunny day usually will make you suffer when the clouds roll in. Likewise what will give you the "x ray vision" to find the bumps on a typical Vermont cloudy day will usually leave you squinting and swearing at the salesman on a sunny day.  The lens that is marketed as a "do everything lens" usually is not stellar in the sun or flat light leaving you with fair vision in either condition.  The only true answer is to have one lens for the sunny days and one for the cloudy days.  In the past of course that would mean buying two pair of goggles which was great for ski shops, not great for your wallet. Smith has answered the call with their IO goggle.  This goggle is sold with two lens, one for sunny days and one for cloudy days.  They have made a frameless design which makes interchanging the lens a no brainer. Finally the one goggle which can truly do everything!
