  New interchangeable I/O 7

Press release:

KETCHUM, Idaho  – For the second year in a row, Smith Optics is the proud recipient of the ISPO Award for Design & Innovation. Following last year’s win for the Vantage Helmet with Aerocore technology, the 2014 title has been presented to the brand for the new interchangeable I/O 7 Goggle for the Ski segment.

The I/O 7 goggle (MSRP $225) features a minimalist design and a single-pivot quick release lens that is intuitive, efficient and easy to use. The addition of dual axis outriggers provides vertical and horizontal articulation for better fit under or over a helmet and AirEvac integration technology for increased ventilation and full helmet compatibility. The Facial Geometry frame design provides full field of vision while the spherical, Carbonic-X Lens with TLT Optics increase visual acuity and enhance contrast sensitivity while offering optimum scratch and impact resistance. All performance lenses feature Smith’s proprietary 5X Anti-Fog inner lens to eliminate condensation and moisture build up, for the most advanced anti-fog lens ever created. The I/O 7 will be available in 15 color ways and includes two performance lenses.
