Thank you! Very helpful. Also glad to hear I wasn't the only one sweating while changing out the lens... lol

[@anagel57]

Thank you! My fingers are almost bloody from getting the bloody top hooks above the straps in, but without your help I never would have been able to get the job done.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Thank you for watching and commenting Andrew! The Smith Squad goggle can be tricky when you are trying to interchange the shield but were glad the video helped :)

[@taysonjensen5322]

The top hooks scare me... every time I swear it's going to snap off

[@sportrxeyewear]

You should always take care not to be too aggressive with the lens, but - with that being said - the lenses are made of super impact-resistant polycarbonate, so they shouldn’t crack. Rest assured and enjoy the snow!

[@spokje]

Thanks man! I really appreciate it. I had some trouble changing lenses and this video really helped!

[@sportrxeyewear]

Thank you for the love Spokje! We excited to hear the video helped you change the shield on your Squad goggles :)

[@heroliau3866]

Question how to change the strap on smith? And 2nd question where I can buy new and long strap for smith

[@xxdevillexx]

Thanks man, it literally took me 5 minutes after I watched this. And I used a pair of light gloves so I don't hurt my fingers / leave fingerprints

[@troyschnierer2940]

Yeah, I wish I had used some jewellery gloves or something. Finger slipped and scratched the new lense. Not a functional problem which boarding buuuut.... Just wanted it to be crispy perfect for a little while at least.

[@hoarbaby]

Thanks, this helped a lot. Fortunately my second lens had the plastic coating on the inside because I was a bit rowdy putting that one in lol.

[@sportrxeyewear]

We're glad to be of help! Thanks for watching!

[@jaydelee4123]

Very good video!! I was with you the whole way...that last top hook......not easy at all. Could not do this if you have any sort of nails...and I just cut mine too...haha. Thumbs kind of sore after...but I did it! I think that you can bend the goggle way more than I thought!

[@mynamemynamemyname-x1t]

You just needed to pull the strap ends off the frame first(very easy with table knife), so the frame is way more softer on the sides and way easier to install the side hooks

[@tomterblanche2315]

I find it way easier to put the side hooks on first and press it on straight, then doing the nose and the tops. Quicker and easier for me.

[@willdebassio2456]

[@senKeiser]

Thanks man! Your comment was more helpful than this video, I replaced my goggles in 30 seconds without any pain

[@AprilLisonbee]

Thanks! This was a much easier way to swap out my lenses.

[@hayyanmonea119]

Best com

[@DETaylor]

Thanks for this. Like a lot of stuff, it's not hard once you know the right way to do it, but if you try random techniques you're as likely as not to break something.

[@sportrxeyewear]

We agree, Dennis! Thanks for tuning in!

[@troyschnierer2940]

Super helpful video. I had no idea how to get the side hooks out and didn't want to break anything. Buuut my finger slipped off the top while getting the bottom grooves back in. Small scratch from my finger nail on top, right in the middle. Won't affect while baording but... I can't unsee what I have seen.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Oh no! Well, glad to be able help! Sorry to hear about the scratch, but glad to hear it’s not in the worst spot. Enjoy them and thanks for watching!

[@rupedog]

Thank god I found this vid. Thanks for creating.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi Rupert! We're glad we can help!

[@jayclarke2932]

Design Fail. An interchangeable lens should be able to be swapped out on a lift...with cold fingers...as it's getting dark....ect. No way to do that with these. What a shame. I like the goggles but they are a total pain in the but to switch out.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello Jay! Have you checked out any of this year's top snow goggles(www.sportrx.com/blog/best-ski-snowboarding-goggles/)? Many of these models have quick and easy interchange systems that you may prefer! Thanks for sharing your feedback with us!

[@jayclarke2932]

SportRx I hadn’t. I had purchased the Smith pair and had a hard time with the lenses. I figured I Was doing something wrong… That’s why I looked at the video. I appreciate the videos that you do. Thanks.

[@TheVaur2]

It's meant as a cheaper alternative to those.

[@mynamemynamemyname-x1t]

Pin that reply. You just needed to pull the head strap plastic ends off the frame first(very easy with table knife), so the frame is way more softer on the sides and way easier to install the side hooks

[@manuelarellano622]

it’s not that deep there $120

[@timothychiu1366]

I wouldn’t now how 2 do this without this video, thanks

[@bartoszc7472]

Thank you, insane engineering idea

[@moth2light]

This is also the way to change out the lenses on the 2017/18 Squad XL’s

[@hailflonjohetfz3047]

Grab center of lense , twist top hook up and away from it’s notch, the lense is very bendable luckily, this makes the top hook almost easy to get in its notch, hope this helps

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello! Thanks for your feedback!

[@hailflonjohetfz3047]

SportRx took me a while to change these

[@Luki-xr2ih]

Greetings from Germany, thank you very much

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hey Luki! Greetings from San Diego :) Thank you for commenting and watching the video.

[@melle327]

You literally saved me! Thanks!

[@MajorMajorx2]

Your mustache is entrancing. Also thanks for the instructions.

[@piotrjurczyk1306]

these seems easier for me to change the lens compared to the oakley flight deck just the corners are a pain to get in thats all plus the smith squad fit my face better.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hey Peter thanks for leaving us a comment on the video! We would have to agree with you on that. The Flight Deck is a fantastic goggle, but it isn't known for its interchangeability and the corners are hard to get in and out. Were happy to hear the Smith Squad goggles are working out better for you. Which lenses did you get for the Squad goggle?

[@piotrjurczyk1306]

ChromaPop sun black and yellow lens.

[@Timeline180]

I think i broke my thumb pushing in that last corner in im not joking

[@spokje]

gasadd just slide the hooks from the inner part of the frame over the frame. By bending the frame sideways.

[@mynamemynamemyname-x1t]

Pin that reply. You just needed to pull the head strap plastic ends off the frame first(very easy with table knife), so the frame is way more softer on the sides and way easier to install the side hooks. You’re welcome

[@dairyairman]

I really like these googles but agree that changing the lens is way too hard. There is a trick to getting those two upper tabs into the notch though. The guy at the ski shop showed me and it works. You put the tab against the rubber beside the upper notch and then push the lens horizontally so the tab slides up over the rubber and into the notch from the side. It's still hard to change lens, but that trick makes it a little less of an ordeal.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi David! We appreciate your feedback!

[@sergeyk8125]

Thank you

[@luciamiller1555]

Saved the day! Much obliged :))

[@billhackley3540]

thank you now i see why NO ONE shows the interchange in a general smith squad video. i'll move on

[@Skitad]

Thank you !

[@Kevin-qy7nu]

What about the straps?

[@orzoo0685]

Is it a single pane or dual pane lens?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello! this is a dual pane lens. Thanks for reaching out!

[@DT-dw3iv]

Love the goggles, but what a complete pain in the a** to change lenses...Very frustrating...Thank you for the tutorial.

I can't do it

[@christopherlee5565]

very helpful

[@sportrxeyewear]

Thanks for leaving us some feedback Christopher! Were glad the video provided some useful tips :)

[@bigbepandjoblessjosh]

bless you

[@jackevers4349]

Wow was that a pain. That made me so angry 😡. Took me 45 minutes to take off and put on the other lens. It looks really nice just the changing system is frustrating and not what it is meant to be (quick changing and easy).

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello Jack! It is a bit tricky the first few times. The new I/O Mag uses a magnetic interchange system that may be more of what you are looking for! www.sportrx.com/catalog/product/view/id/118383

[@jtstott]

These lenses are fucking ridiculous to change & Smith gives no instructions! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@sportrxeyewear]

Thanks for commenting and watching the video Jason! Were glad the video was able to help you out. We had received a number of requests from viewers to make a tutorial on how to change the lenses for this goggle, and after making it we understood why so many people had requested for it. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help with.

[@MartinBramley-w7k]

Can you redo the video wearing ski gloves?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Without magnetic attachment to the chassis, better to remove the gloves to swap out the lenses for this particular model. Check out the Squad mag! 👉 www.sportrx.com/smith-squad-mag-snow-goggle.html 🔥

[@kevingarzon8553]

It was too good to be true. Everything about these goggles is amazing for the price by this is where it really fails

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hey Kevin! Are you having issues with swapping out the lenses? If you have any further questions please reach out to one of our sport opticians at 1-888-831-5817 and they can definitely help you out!

Зачем я их купил! Не знаю сколько замен выдержит крепление линз:(

[@sportrxeyewear]

If you like the style and are ready to replace them, you can always go for the Squad Mag!

[@mounthelena1]

Buy two pair on sale so you never need to swap out the lens.

Wow. Super hard to fit 😂

these are SO difficult to change.....[30 minutes for me!! not really interchangeable like this....certainly wouldn't try this on the mountain]......I am taking them back.

[@kirkschneider4403]

that is the worse design ever.... I was sweating too... and scared I was going to snap the lens.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello Kirk! Thanks for sharing your feedback with us!

[@seanmarkow3030]

It would be easier to just buy another goggle.

[@sportrxeyewear]

That is always a reliable solution! Thanks for commenting Sean

[@troyschnierer2940]

But they give you 2 lenses on purchase. Gotta take advantage of that!

[@lonkbadonk3195]

Cool, that only took 30 MINUTES

[@KAYDIN-cg6dr]

Yea I hate these goggles .

[@pointofXreturn]

it took me half an hour to change a lense...won't recomend it

[@get_flankedaxr2472]

I fucking give up.

[@karenannie1525]

That is NOT easy. At all. Wow.

[@gregorboucher2071]

Those side hocks are so annoying

[@sportrxeyewear]

Yeah, the older models definitely require a bit of force and intuition regarding the changing out of lenses. However, the new Mag models are much easier and faster in comparison! Check 'em out in the link! 👇 www.sportrx.com/search/?q=smith+mag

[@susandaugherty737]

Terrible system

[@laxprodigy1]

After profusely sweating for 15minutes trying to unhook one of the side notches I got so scared and I did not bother to swap out to my night time lenses. Horrendous design.

[@sportrxeyewear]

It is certainly one of the least interchange-friendly goggles we've come across. Thank goodness for the Squad Mag! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5aZpoOPZqiBo5Y

[@tanakax25]

Idk y'all, these are such a bitch to change even with these tips. I hate this thing so much I'll never change the lens unless it breaks 😂

[@sportrxeyewear]

Might be time to upgrade to MAG Tech! Much easier lens interchange system. 👉www.sportrx.com/search/?q=smith+mag+🔥

[@tanakax25]

@@sportrxeyewear no thanks! lol I knew there was a reason I snagged these for $40 and it's because nobody wants to deal with the lens! Happy with my purchase for the price!
