Smith Attack MAG MTB Sunglasses
The Good

Very solid build. Easy to interchange lenses. High quality optics. Anti-fog treatment

The Bad

Single "click" adjustment nose bridge limits fit. Very large lens covers much of the face & can get hot & steamy quick.

Overall Review
The Smith Attack MTB went right to the top of the list of riding glasses on my list shortly after their debut. I am a full time contact lens wearer & to ride fast & loose in contacts, it's a must to have riding glasses. Grit in your eye with contacts is agony & wind can dry contacts out without a wind barrier for the eye. Needless, it means I've ridden with riding glasses since the mid-90's & am picky. I've got chubby cheeks, a narrow nose & only ride up because that's how you get to the descents! My requirements are simple...don't fog, give me almost clear lenses for the dark green shaded...

Smith Squad MTB Goggles
The Good

Good fit. Better lens options for different lighting. Excellent ventilation.

The Bad

Lower field-of-view than other manufacturers.

Overall Review
I've been dying to get the Smith Squad MTB Goggles ever since I read the reviews on a mountain bike magazine. They looked way cooler than other brands. So I asked a friend to buy one for my while she visited the US. There are lots of replacement lenses and parts if you botch yours. True to the review of the magazine, it had excellent ventilation. Not once did I feel any overheating. Good airflow above and below the lenses help to dissipate heat. I also like to ability to choose a lens especially one appropriate for riding here in the Philippines. You can also choose a strap. Its also faster to...

Smith Fuel V.2 ChromaPop Goggles
The Good

Great fit and contour for the rider's face, A lens that is clearly nicer than the average, Better detail in specific lighting situations, Brings back the 80's in color.

The Bad

Smaller strap wings that may limit exact fit for every helmet.

Overall Review
Smith Optics introduced a relatively new technology called ChromaPop into a not so relatively new goggle, the Fuel V.2. With this new technology, smith claims ChromaPop enhances detail, clarity, and natural colors for those behind their lens. The real question is would it really make a difference in their goggle line and would that difference even be noticeable? I got my hand on a pair just to find out. Spending several months with these new goggles, here are my impressions: Detailed Specs: Medium Fit Sweat-X F.A.T. 3-Layer Face Foam Ergonomic Outrigger Positioning System Red Mirror Lens Roll...

Smith Fuel V.1 Max M Goggles
The Good

Lenses are excellent, and look good too, helmet compatible, value is good.

The Bad

Will fog in extreme conditions, no quick lens change system

Overall Review
I bought these for downhill 3 seasons ago but started wearing them for enduro as well after getting dust in my eye racing in Rossland a couple of years ago. As someone who wears contacts, a little dust in the eye can ruin a day on the bike very quickly. I find that not only do I get great protection with these, but I actually see the trail better because they don't bounce around on my face while going over rough stuff like glasses do. I never noticed this until I started wearing goggles, but the strap just holds them tighter onto your face than glasses could ever hope to be, even with rubber...

Smith Forefront Helmet
The Good

This is a rockin helmet. I was stoked with Smith came out with this helmet. You can say I am a little bias, but I have always been a fan of their product. Their R&D team goes above and beyond to make sure they provide quality products. From their sunglasses to their helmets, you cant go wrong with...

The Bad

Brethablity is the biggest issue for me. I sweat a lot. I mean a lot. and this helmet does not cater to that very well. I am willing to sacrifice that for coverage and safety. now, in the winter months, it is great and keeps my head nice and toasty. but the koyroyd is not suitable for good airflow.

Overall Review
This is a great helmet with great value. I would highly recommend this helmet to anyone who is looking for something that truly wraps around your head rather than sit on top of it. The design of the forefront give me the coverage I need to confidently ride out on the trails.

Smith PivLock V2 Sunglasses
The Good

High quality lenses, Comes with three lenses to match riding conditions, Easy to swap out, Amazing adjustable nose piece, lifetime warranty that company stands behind.

The Bad

Fogged on me a few times (mostly riders error), pretty pricey

Overall Review
Smithhas always had areputationof being a down-to-earth company, actively engaged in the progression of outdoor sports. Their love for what they do really shines through when they come out with products like the PivLock V2. Mixed in with their lifetime warranty, you really can't go wrong with these shades. I picked up my PivLock V2 glasses about 18 months ago so this is more of a long-term review. First thing I noticed when putting them on was how clear and clean their lenses are. If they aren't the highest quality lens out there, they are certainly close to it. There have only been a few...
