The best part? The satisfying magnetic click when the lens engages the frame. The magnet is strong enough to feel secure, but weak enough to make the experience 95% hassle-free and quick. The hardest part is lining up the two side clips, but this is cake compared to the old lens swap process on my older Smith I/Os, which are still very popular and spotted often at the mountain. The 4D Mags are 1 clip, 2 clip, magnet disengage, swap, magnet engages, 1 clip, 2 clip, done. Gone are the days of bending lenses to line up plastic fins to the frames. The 4D Mags get their name from the magnet-based quick-change system. Hats off to Smith for this subtle, but totally appreciable design bit. There’s nothing more satisfying than that to a total gear nerd like me. With a helmet like the Quantum or Vantage, you get a nice extended brim that perfectly frames the top of Smith goggles. Medium fit Available in Low Bridge Fit for faces with a lower nose bridge and/or a wide or high cheekbone shapeīefore we get into the specifics of the reasoning behind the name, I want to first comment on the seamless integration between Smith goggles and helmets.AirEvac™ ventilation system integrates with Smith helmets for fog-free lenses.Three-layer DriWix face foam wicks moisture for a fog-free fit.Ultra-wide, silicone-backed strap stays put.QuickFit strap adjustment system lets you find the right fit fast.Designed for ultimate integration with Smith helmets for maximum comfort, venting and fog-free performance.BirdsEye Vision™ clarifies not just your line, but the riders in your periphery.ChromaPop™ lenses enhance contrast and natural color to make the details pop.Smith MAG™ lens change system uses magnets for quick, easy lens changes.So, needless to say, I was super amped to get ahold of a pair of the 4D Mags to replace my scratched, but well-loved Smith I/Os. I have been a Smith fan for years – I checked out the fan-favorite Quantum snow helmet back in 2018 and the Trace bike helmet & Attack Max bike glasses back in 2020. With ski and snowboard season wrapped up for most Utah resorts, it’s about time I made a judgment call on the Smith 4D Mag goggles so you can prep for your end-of-season deals!
