I'm looking to purchase some Smith Phenom goggles for this season. Do you guys recommend getting the turbo fan series or do the regular phenoms work just as well? I ski in Tahoe, Cali and the weather varies alot.

nope, i'm 6'3" 190lbs. workout throughout the week and I use an Elliptical machine 3 times a week to do cardio workout. so for skiing I'm in great shape. Guess I'll go with the regular phenoms and skip the fan.

yes I can afford the turbo fan. Quick question though, will the turbo fan model fog up more than the normal ones if the fan is off? By looking at the goggles, the regular ones have vents on the front where as the turbo model looks all sealed up (most likely so the fan will do its job)

also is the turbo model alot heavier and prone to issues?

i think i might just go with the regular ones still, seems like a simpler design that won't have any issues.

Get the regulars... I find it's a good practice to buy a new lens ever year, but since smiths come with 2 you won't have any problems.
