SMITH Snow Goggles

SMITH is known for goggles that will allow you to ski and snowboard to perfection. With top-notch lens technology and a secure, comfortable fit, SMITH goggles are what you need for a day spent on fresh powder. For more information, check out our SMITH Snow Goggles Lens Guide.

There are plenty of similarities and differences between the SMITH Squad, SMITH Squad XL, and SMITH Squad MAG goggles. Continue reading for our breakdown of each one!


SMITH Squad

The SMITH Squad features a DriWix face foam, that allows the goggles to stay comfortably in place while wicking away moisture. Lens ventilation and Fog-X anti-fog coating also ensure clear visibility that are key on the slopes. Additionally, Carbonic-X lenses are scratch and impact resistant, so if you take a tumble, your goggles will remain intact. SMITH’s lens technology, ChromaPop™, enhances color and offers unmatched clarity.

SMITH Squad vs. Squad XL vs. Squad MAG

All three goggles share ChromaPop™ lens technology, triple-layer DriWix face foam, and a cylindrical shape. Each pair of goggles also comes with a silicone-backed strap that provides comfort and a secure fit and are helmet-compatible. But there are some key differences.

Both the SMITH Squad and SMITH Squad XL share exceptional features. An anti-fog coating allows the lenses to remain clear, essential for safely shredding down the mountain, as well as impact-resistant lenses. The only difference between the two is sizing – the Squad XL is the perfect fit for larger heads.

The SMITH Squad MAG comes with additional features to the ones above. The MAG™ lens changing system is an optimal feature that allows you to effortlessly swap out lenses. The AirEvac™ ventilation technology pulls warm air out, minimizing the build-up of fog and moisture on the lenses.
