Smith Squad MTB ChromaPop goggles


These are the priciest goggles on test, but they’re worth it. Fit, comfort and field of view are all excellent. They’re a touch narrower than some, but there’s nothing distracting in your peripheral vision and they sync well with a wide range of lids. The ChromaPop lens offers HD-like clarity in bright conditions, while the included clear lens is ideal for darker days. Best of all, the quality lenses and open-vented frame keep fog at bay better than anything else here. Replacement clear lenses cost just $13.

At speed and on chilly days they can feel slightly draughty – a small price to pay for the fog-busting design.

Price $127
