Open your eyes to an expanded field of vision and high level performance with the Smith 4D Mag ski goggles. Their innovative "bird's eye view" lens design has increased riders’ field of view by up to 25%. Coupling this with their comfortable fit and crisp ChromaPop lens technology, and you have one of the top performing goggles on the market. They also seamlessly integrate with the Smith Method Pro Mips helmet, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. While they may be pricier than some other options, their exceptional features and high-quality construction justify the investment.

The Sweet Protection Connor RIG Reflect ski goggles offer a sleek design with exceptional optics on a medium fit goggle in a moderate price range. Its patented RIG Reflect technology combined with a larger frameless lens design provides a crisp, clear and expansive view.
