How to Put Film in Smith Racer Goggles

Smith is one of the preeminent names in protective eyewear for extreme sports. Racing goggle's protect your eyes during activities like motocross racing and snowboarding among many others. One of the problems with protective goggles is that they often become covered with mud, snow, and other debris, limiting your visibility. Tearaway lenses address this problem by allowing you to place a protective plastic film that covers your goggles. Removal is made easy by an extended tab that protrudes from the side; you can even add multiple layers of film and remove each as needed throughout the course of your excursion.

Instructions

    • 1

      Use water and a soft cloth to clean the exterior of your Smith goggles to ensure that no foreign particles end up between the exterior of the lens and the tearaway film.

    • 2

      Remove the backing from the tearaway film. Be sure to only handle it by the edges and the tearaway tab so that you do not contaminate the film with fingerprints.

    • 3

      Begin to apply the tearaway film to your goggles by starting with the nose bridge as this is the most distinctive curvature on your goggles and provides the best starting point for a straight application.

    • 4

      Slowly apply the film from the middle to the outside by wiping your finger over the exterior side of the tearaway film, ensuring that no bubbles develop as you slowly glide your finger across.

      Repeat as needed with additional layers of tearaway film.
