Smith Goggles Provide Fog Free Vision
The most common ski goggle problem is fogging, which happens when the inner lens surface cools below the dew point. Humidity inside the goggle dosen't help - the more humid the air, the more potential for fog. Smith goggles use a combination of technological advancements to help prevent lens fogging.
Goggle Ventilation
Varying levels of goggle ventilation are available within the Smith goggle line. While all Smith goggles employ frame ventilation using a breathable foam membrane, Smith goggles also utilize patented fog-prevention technologies to actively promote the circulation of air throughout the goggle.
Turbo Fan
Patented micro-electronic fan in the Turbo Fan series. Turn the fan on when you get to the hill and on the low setting, the Turbo Fan system will run continuously all day long to exhaust moisture from inside the goggle. The high setting can be used to quickly exhaust moisture in extreme conditions. On the low setting the Turbo Fan system can run continuously for up to 50 hours on one AAA battery.
Smith Regulator
Patented Regulator adjustable lens ventilation system in the Spherical and Regulator series provides added control of airflow through the goggle. Use the open position while stopped in line or on the lift to increase the circulation of dry, fresh air. Close it before descending to prevent tearing.
Smtih Airflow
Active lens ventilation in the Airflow and Junior series. Provides additional ventilation to keep the inner lens warm and dry.
Smith Vaporator Lens Technology with Porex Filter
Vaporator lens technology leads the industry in thermal lens barriers. Utilizing processes previously reserved for aerospace and medical capacities, Smith goggle lenses are robotically cut and bonded together with an airtight silicone bead to eliminate lens delamination - the number one cause of between-the-lens fogging.
A revolutionary, micro porous filter called Porex completes the system. Its composition is structured such that air molecules may pass through the filter while water molecules cannot. By utilizing this filter, the thermal lens is allowed to adjust to varying altitudes while preventing moisture from entering the lens chamber. This is the world's strongest thermal lens barrier.
Thermal Lens
Two single lenses bonded together with a sealed "dead air" space between them create a thermal barrier that keeps the inner lens warm and dry. Like storm windows, but much more comfortable, this process keeps cold, moist air outside where it belongs.
Smith Fog-X Lens Treatment
A hydrophilic chemical treatment creates a micro-etched surface on the inner lens to absorb moisture before fog can form. Because Fog-X is a treatment that is actually burned into the lens, it can't be wiped away like other anti-fog coatings.
Do's and Don'ts
Following a few of these simple guidelines will ensure a comfortable fog-free day on the slopes.
MAKE SURE YOUR NEW GOGGLES FORM A TIGHT SEAL ON YOUR FACE.
Take the time to try on different models to find the most comfortable pair that forms a complete seal around your face.
TRY GOGGLES ON AS IF YOU WERE ON THE HILL.
Bring your helmet and/or hat with you when you try on new ski goggles. You'll want to make sure your ski goggles will fit properly with what you actually wear.
WEARING YOUR GOGGLES ON YOUR FOREHEAD WILL CAUSE THEM TO FOG.
Your head is like a smokestack of a steam train. 30% of your body's heat leaves through the top of the head. Placing your goggles on your forehead will trap this moisture, causing your goggles to fog.
WIPING GOGGLES WITH EXCESS SNOW IN THEM WILL INCREASE FOGGING.
Smearing the snow and ice from your last wipe-out around inside your lens will only result in increased fogging and more frustration. If your ski goggles become filled with snow, knock out the majority of the snow. Then use a Smith Snow Easer or soft cloth to mop out the majority of the moisture. Ideally, you'll want to find a restroom automatic hand dryer to fully dry the inner and outer lenses.
