The lens is the real winner though, a real highlight for us and with plenty of technology going. It’s a curved (rather than flat) lens, which gives great clarity and is easily switched in and out of the frame. Two lenses are supplied in the package (one tinted, one clear) both being roll-off compatible. New this year from Smith is their proprietary ChromaPop lens technology – designed to enhance clarity and natural colour to bring out more detail. This gives you an added advantage, with really clearly defined vision off the track ahead. Steve Jones used these for racing The Master DH Champs in Europe last year and was very impressed.
The UK is a good testing ground for goggles and the Squad has proven their worth. Rain, low light, bright sunshine can all be mixed up into one ride. Throw in diving in and out of dense tree cover with rapidly changing light levels and you’re asking a lot. These Smith goggles are perfect in these situations and we’ve rarely switched to a clear lens or had any steaming up issues.
High quality construction, a great fit, easy lens switching and unbeatable optics all add up to an instant favourite. A class act.
