Mt. Logan 2010 Expedition Gear Pick: Smith Optics Knowledge OTG










My last pair of OTG goggles were from Oakley but looks like they had some kind of design flaw. They were fogging constantly! I was keen to change them and have something better. Now, I have an opportunity to try the Knowledge OTG goggles around Vancouver (just before the trip to Yukon). I read so many good reviews about Knowledge OTG's online. Goggles are essential for ski expeditions like this. Winds are relentless there and in addition to better visibility you are warmer.
