FIELD OF VIEW
The field of view from the REVO Wordsmith is at the top of the class, but that should be expected from a wide-angle goggle with a cylindrical lens. Our in-house test yielded a 170 degree field of view, which was among the top performers. The nose cut did obstruct the view when looking down, but we could barely see the foam elsewhere, when looking out.

FIT & COMFORT
The REVO Wordsmith has a very stiff frame, but the triple-layer of super-soft face foam will conform to pretty much any face. The foam around the nose pinched some testers’ noses a bit, obstructing breathing when pushed down by some helmets. Notwithstanding that fact, we paired them with five different helmets, and found no major issues with a goggle gap.

ANTI-FOG POWER
No fogging occurred in the Wordsmith while tested in the relatively dry climate of Colorado. Out of the many goggles tested, the Wordsmith was the last lens to fog up in our in-house steam room test. 

LENS QUALITY
The panoramic lens really adjusted well to all light conditions. We experienced no distortion at the edges of the lens, and no glare. The texture of the snow was really highlighted by the lens, even in flat light. REVO’s Polarized Chromatic Light Management System enhanced the view and adjusted to light and dark conditions. However, the lens did scratch relatively easily—it acquired numerous micro-scratches while testing this model.

FEATURES
The rubber “REVO” imprinted around the strap made it tougher adjust, although it stayed in place on and off helmets thanks to the gummy silicon squares that go all the way around the inside of the. The strap is one continuous piece, and the elastic was just stretchy enough for moving them from face to forehead without any issues. It comes with a lightweight bag instead of a hard or semi-hard case.
