Strengths:
I like Smith's lenses best of the brands I tested, both their contrasting, dark and photochromatic lenses I think are top notch. In addition, I find that Smith lenses fade less than many other brands, it can certainly have to do with the membrane thing they have (which I was convinced was a gimmick when I got my first Smith.
Then they have also fixed so that it is possible to "split" the band with a buckle / hook. Also a thing I thought most was gimick when I first got them, but it's really something I find it hard to be without on a couple of goggles now.
Weaknesses:
The only negative thing I have to say is that the lens changes are relatively complicated. When I started with I / OS, it was one of the better lens replacement designs on the market, but now there are a lot of other solutions that are considerably smoother. With a bit of easier lens change, it would be a bright one!
Summary:
Maybe the best goggle for us with narrow faces? Many smart little details that feel like gimmicks in the beginning, but as one quickly realizes that they are so useful that they become difficult to be but after one gets used to.

Strengths:
Fits smaller faces. I have only found three models of the upper layer that fit my little face without the nose clogging. Easy to change lens.
Weaknesses:
Quite expensive extras lenses but there is a great variety to find online.
Summary:
Really good goggles for small faces where it is worth having several lenses to switch to depending on light conditions as it is easy to change.
