2026 Smith Squad XL Goggles

The Smith Squad XL is built around one simple idea: more lens, more vision. It runs the biggest cylindrical lens in Smith’s range, giving you a huge, open field of view without losing the clean, low-profile look that makes the Squad family so easy to wear. ChromaPop optics bring extra contrast and definition when the light gets flat, and select colourways step up to ChromaPop Pro Photochromic lenses that automatically adjust their tint as conditions change.

The XL size is a great fit for medium to larger faces, with three-layer DriWix foam keeping things comfortable and Smith’s Fog-X treatment and Airflow ventilation helping keep the lens clear through long days on the hill. It is a big goggle in all the right ways: heaps of peripheral vision, a comfortable fit and none of the unnecessary bulk that can make oversized goggles feel awkward.

Key Features

Lens – ChromaPop / ChromaPop Pro Photochromic
ChromaPop optics improve contrast, colour and definition so changes in snow texture and terrain are easier to pick out. Select colourways use ChromaPop Pro Photochromic lenses that automatically adjust their tint as the light changes through the day.

Fit – Medium / Large
The biggest cylindrical goggle in Smith’s range, built for riders who want plenty of coverage and a seriously wide field of view.

Lens Shape – Oversized Cylindrical
A massive cylindrical lens and semi-rimless frame open up your peripheral vision while keeping the Squad’s clean, low-profile shape.

Lens Package – Variant Dependent
Standard ChromaPop colourways include separate bright-light and low-light lenses. ChromaPop Pro Photochromic colourways use a single adaptive lens designed to cover a much broader range of changing light.
