Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I tried these goggles out for a total of several minutes during a week backcountry Canada ski trip and they failed miserably: (1) they fogged horribly despite the expensive fan. Despite poor fog clearing from the inner lens, the design also allows fog to collect between the inner and outer lenses. (2) the tint renders light completely flat, with snow features unrecognizable. My ski buddy's rose-colored sunglasses worked terrificly. I ended up skiing bare eyes or sunglasses. Thanks for Amazon returns, but a test drive before you buy is worthwhile!

Part of Smith's most advanced Turbofan collection, the Phenom Turbo Fan goggle features a medium fit with an expanded interior volume to increase fan airflow. It has a two-speed micro-electronic fan that clears vapor from the spherical, Carbonic-X lens (with TLT optics) area faster than any static airflow goggle design. Last year Smith tweaked the fan functionality for better performance--and now it's so good that they gave the Phenom Turbo Fan a lifetime manufacturer's warranty. The patented fan design has a silent micro-electronic fan that runs continuously. There's also a high-speed airflow setting that works great during those long hauls up backcountry ridgelines. Depending on the setting you choose, the fan batteries can be good for up to 50 hours, but keep in mind that extreme cold temperatures can drain batteries faster than most typical sessions on sunny spring afternoons. The Phenom's Carbonic-X lens have a curved spherical design that helps increase the interior volume and reduce the probability of condensation. An exclusive Fog-X treatment also contributes to the anti-fogging performance. Spherical lenses look cool, but some cheap goggles have a bulging lens that distorts the view and makes your eyes feel tired after a couple of runs. Smith's TLT (Tapered Lens Technology) eliminates the refractions and keeps all objects in your line in normal dimensions. This is done by progressively tapering the lens from the optical center toward your peripheral view, matching the curvature of your natural eye shape. Another nice touch on the Phenom is Smith's articulating outrigger positioning system. It's an extra hinge that extends from the corner of the frame to help the strap stretch around the contours of your ski or snowboarding helmet. This extension creates an even pressure across your brow and nose instead of that annoying stretch sensation you might feel from goggles that are not compatible with helmets. The big benefit from the articulating outrigger is the
