Smith uses its spherical Carbonic-X lens to give you super-clear vision when you ride with the Prodigy Goggle. A Vaparator lens with adjustable vents helps you regulate airflow and eliminate fogging while the spherical shape increases peripheral vision. Smith added an Articulating Outrigger Positioning System to create an excellent fit whether you prefer a helmet or just roll with a beanie.
Bottom Line: Precise fit, excellent vision, and fog-fighting performance.

This is my favorite piece of ski equipment I own. No gripes and all praise.
I have had these goggles for 2.5 winters now and they are still close to as awesome as the day I bought them. The only damage to the frame and lens is tree induced and completely my fault and less then I would expect from what happened. (I ran into a large evergreen limb with lots of little sticks on it with my face) The sensor mirror looks cool while providing the best visibility from a goggle lens in the widest range of conditions. I have skied days that ranged from torrential downpour to sunny bluebird and not once have these goggles let me down. The times I doubted them, I took them off my head to find out that I could only see worse without them on my face.
They also fit great. I have a bigger head so I bought these and they have fit my head and two different helmets perfectly. The face foam is great, its fleece lined and wicks sweat away from your skin on those warm spring days while sealing out cold wind in the middle of February.
I ski 100+ days every winter and I take these goggles with me every day. I have gotten way more use out of them than I ever expected, the zeals i had before them hardly lasted half a season before the inter lens seam failed, and when the face foam finally falls apart (its starting and I'm kinda sad) after what I expect will be around 400 days on the mountain, I will happily buy another pair of these goggles.
Smith has arguably the best venting system on the market and it is clear (no pun intended) with these goggles. Smith's lens quality is seconded to none. The goggles fit great and fit seamlessly with smith helmets. If you have a medium to large face they fit great. If you don't they can be a little overwhelming, especially with certain helmets.
Bottom line: Top notch goggle, for medium to large size faces.
The shape of the prodigy's have a more box cut (compared to an Oakley A-frame) and as a result fits great with the cutout of my helmet. Alot of helmets I see have a cutout that's more square than round, so a goggle like this sits flush.
I've got Sensor mirror lenses: Amazing!
Had them in a 0 vis day back-country in clouds. Anything your naked eye can detect without them on gets the contrast boosted with the goggles on. Not to say your eye couldn't see them if you really tried hard, but if you're going down a run, you want any crud to stand out and the sensor mirror does that.
You can also customize the frames' look with removable "highlight" pieces (one at the top like a uni-brow, and one under each eye on the bottom). Seems less sturdy when you flex it in your hands since there are removable parts but it's of no concern. I switched mine to straight black for a solid black frame and like it alot.
