SMITH OPTICS GOGGLE TECHNOLOGY
Articulating Outrigger Positioning System
A key element in goggle / helmet compatibility. Engineered to adjust to a
full range of face shapes and sizes, the Articulating Outrigger
Positioning System evenly transfers pressure across the brow and nose
to ensure a complete seal against the face. When used with a helmet,
the outrigger articulates allowing the goggle frame to sink into the
helmet face port, ultimately providing a comfortable and consistent fit
every time.
Ergonomic Outrigger Positioning System
The Ergonomic Outrigger Positioning System featured on the new Stance
Regulator is strategically positioned on the frame to draw the strap
forward and away from the goggle frame to provide a perfect fit - with
and without a helmet - for a wide range of face sizes and shapes. The
outriggers evenly distribute pressure on the goggle frame to create a
complete seal on the face, for a consistently comfortable fit every
time.
Flexible Urethane Frame
Smith uses a unique urethane compound, which allows the frame to
conform to individual facial features while maintaining its flexibility
in extreme cold temperatures.
Smith Optics's Evolve program integrates more ecologically-friendly materials into its products wherever possible. In 2008, they introduced goggles made from 96% re-ground urethane. Utilizing recycled material from
other companies, we reduced our dependency on virgin urethane. As the
next step in the Evolve program, Smith has integrated Pearlthane ECO
bio-TPU into its goggle line wherever possible. This material is
composed of 40% bio-based material, derived from plant-based oils
separate from the world's food supply. Simply put, this new material
performs equally as well as traditional urethane while contributing up
to 40% fewer global warming emissions in the manufacturing of the
material.
Split "V" Nose
A Smith Optics innovation that strategically interrupts the urethane in the
nose area of the goggle frame to provide a self-adjusting fit.
Driwix Performance Face Foam
Ultra-plush. Perfect fit. Smith's dual layer DriWix compression-molded
face foams seal out the wind and moisture for maximum comfort and
performance.
Woven Strap
Our high quality, durable, double-woven strap distributes pressure more
evenly around the head to provide superior fit, adjustability and
comfort.
- Silicone bead for superior helmet compatibility featured on all
Spherical, Turbo Fan and Regulator models and select Airflow models.
- Clip buckle for easy on and off featured on all Spherical, Turbo
Fan and Regulator models as well as Monashee OTG and Cariboo OTG.
Vaporator Lens Technology With Porex Filter
Patented Vaporator lens technology leads the industry in thermal lens
barriers. Utilizing processes previously reserved for aerospace and
medical capacities, Smith Optics lenses are robotically cut and bonded
together with an airtight silicone bead to eliminate lens
delamination - the number one cause of between-the-lens fogging.
A revolutionary, micro-porous filter called
Porex completes the system. Its
composition is structured such that air molecules may pass through the
filter while water molecules cannot. By utilizing this filter, the
thermal lens is allowed to adjust to varying altitudes while preventing
moisture from entering the space between the lenses. This is the
world's strongest thermal lens barrier.
