After wearing these goggles about 25 days on the mountain this year, I can honestly say that I won't wear another pair of goggles again (unless of course Smith can somehow improve on these). They are extremely comfortable, have never fogged up on me, and do not impede on my natural field of vision. I've had issues in the past with goggles lenses making it harder to see ice, but the lenses in these googles seem to make it easier to see. Lastly, swapping lenses is incredibly easy, and can be done on the lift with cold hands in less than a minute. My one constructive item would be simply to recommend not getting the North Face model with the red strap. They cost more and have two factors that cause me to prefer my other standard 4D model: The case is soft and not as protective standard hard case, and the Smith and North Face logos are patches stitched onto the strap and the stitching has begun to fray already. Again, this only applies to the TNF model.
