Smith revolutionised the ski/snowboard goggle market by introducing the I/O, the world's first frameless goggles with interchangeable lenses. They have advanced the I/O range, building upon over 5 decades years of innovation, by adding another member to the family the I/O Mag XL, a frameless goggle with an even large spherical lens and a swift magnetic lens change system. The I/O Mag XL is 10% larger than the I/O Mag.
The MAG lens change system features a dual locking mechanism that provides the ease and speed of a regular magnetic lens change system but has the added bonus of a mechanical locking mechanism to keep it secure. When ready to change lenses, the user simply pushes either of the two levers behind the goggle straps allowing them to pull the lens away from the 8 magnets securing it to the frame. Pop on a new lens and you're ready to go.
In addition to this awesome swift lens change system, the I/O MAG XL has a whole host of other design features that make it one of the best ski/snowboard goggles around. An innovative dual-axis outrigger system pivots both vertically and laterally improving comfort and allowing you to wear the goggle strap in any position with or without a helmet. 3-layer DriWix face foam also helps wick away any moisture and seal out the elements to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable.
Smith's carbonic-x lens provides exceptional visibility and a 5X anti-fog inner lens helps prevent fogging. Smith's patented Porex filter guarantees performance regardless of altitude/elevation allowing the lens to adapt to changes in air pressure and guarantee optical clarity. Tapered lens technology helps refract incoming light reducing eye strain and fatigue allowing you to see better for longer.
The I/O MAG XL is an excellent goggle that comes packed full of tech that offers an even more expansive field of vision. With a bonus, low light lens included you can be ready for any condition and have perfect vision all day, every day. If you're looking for a ski/snowboard goggle that is packed full of technological features, has industry-leading lenses, and a quick lens change system, the I/O MAG XL is an excellent choice.
MAG Lens Change - A lens change system that is innovative and performance driven. A traditional magnetic system utilising 8 strong and weatherproof N52 magnets are reinforced with two locking systems to hold the lens in place and make it more secure than a standard magnetic quick change system
5X Anti Fog - 5X™ anti-fog inner lens for advanced fog-free performance
Responsive Frame Design - Reduced material with flexible lattice design allows the frame to adjust to individual face shapes providing unrivaled fit and comfort
Drywix Face Foam - Triple layer face foam seals out the elements whilst wicking sweat and keeping you dry, increase comfort and optimizing goggle performance
TLT Lens Technology - Tapered Lens Technology makes the lens thicker in the middle of your line of sight and thinner towards the peripherals. This reduces distortion and gives crystal clear vision at all angles
Carbonic X Lens - Amazingly clear and precise lens technology with enhanced contrast, scratch and impact resistance, creating a super durable goggle lens
Hydrophobic Lens Coating - Premium water-repellent lens coating helps water bead off and prevent streaky water marks on the lens
The lenses are great. The plastic the band is threaded through on the side didn't even last beyond opening on the first try.
