dont know, ive never seen a pair in person or in a pic, i would just guess that the lenses would be like anons or electrics since they dont have the best lenses and smith and oakley have pretty high quality ones

i wear giro goggles. i love them. they range in price from $30 up to $200. so i'm pretty sure that if you're going to pay $200 for a pair of goggles you're going get a good quality goggle.

giro and smith are not owned by the same company. giro is part of easton sports. they are totally different companies and are rivals.
