The Smith I/OS Goggles takes the absolutely kick-butt Smith I/O goggle, changes the profile, introduces a new outrigger strap connection to better fit a wider variety of face and helmet combinations, and then proceeds to goggle domination. Swapping out lenses is a cinchunlike traditional goggle lenses. Another innovation with the I/O and I/OS is the dual lens is sealed using a silicone bead instead of foam. Lens ventilation happens using a tiny Porex port with a breathable membrane. The standard package includes two lenses (Ignitor and Sensor Mirror). Inspired by rimless fashion eyewear and driven by the need for interchangeable goggle technology, the I/O brings full interchangeability and a sleek, rimless design aesthetic to the Spherical series. The I/O is technology and style at their finest.

The best goggles!
I just spent about the last month trying to find a great pair of goggles that would fit over my Giro Seam helmet, and after trying about 5 different brands (including the Giro Manifest), I thought that these felt and fit the best. The peripheral vision is outstanding, the fit is perfect on my nose, and the lenses are sublime. The case it comes in is pretty cool, too! My only complaint is that the strap is a wee bit too snug on my face when my helmet is on, but I'm pretty sure it will stretch with time. I really do think Smith makes the best goggles.... Unfortunately, I tore my ACL last week, so it will be an entire year until I can wear them again.
