Smith I/O Mag Review

With the I/O Mag (and now the 4D Mag), Smith took its first steps into the magnetic lens arena along with a host of other goggle brands. Smith has continued the trend of quality high-performance optics their I/O goggles are known for with the I/O Mag, and they come with two spherical Chromapop lenses for bright and low light conditions. The lenses are treated with an effective anti-fog coating and the goggles are adequately ventilated to prevent fogging. The magnetic lens interface results in a very easy lens change, making these some of the most user-friendly goggles we tested in that regard. The I/O Mag has a medium fit and assuming they fit your facial structure they have a great shape with triple layer face foam for a comfortable fit. They also earn style points for their sleek almost frameless look. They will set you back a few bucks, but this is a quality new goggle that comes with two lenses from one of the top manufacturers in the business. We also dig the included magnetic balaclava that is also compatible with other goggles. However, the price comes into play, with the I/O Mag costing considerably less (while still being pricey themselves!).
