Reviewers praise
  • Fast, secure magnetic lens changes with a locking clip so lenses don't pop off during falls
  • Wide, distortion-free field of view from the spherical lens shape
  • Comes with two lenses out of the box, one for bright light and one for low light
Reviewers push back
  • Fit is size-dependent, one reviewer found the standard size too small until the larger version came out
  • One reviewer was skeptical the color-enhancing lens tech makes a noticeable difference over the naked eye
  • Long-term durability of the anti-fog coating is untested by reviewers
Reviewers agree the I/O MAG delivers a wide, spherical field of view and a genuinely fast magnetic lens swap, though comfort and fit vary by face size.
— best for: Skiers and snowboarders who ride in changing light conditions and want one goggle with quick, reliable lens swaps and a wide field of view.

These goggles are expensive - the most expensive I've ever purchased. But I have to say they are the best goggles I've ever used. I've been skiing for almost 50 years and I have had a lot of goggles. I have long ago gotten over worrying about what goggles look like, and in the old days of no helmets any goggles worked with a ski hat. But with helmets, goggles have to mesh with your helmet brim.
