For nearly 50 years Smith has been a steward of the outdoors. The Smith customer is a socially conscious hard charger. Great days in the water, dirt, and snow are made better when we are mindful to protect the environment, we recreate in. Smith Optics incorporate the revolutionary, Rilsan Clear material into what has become the largest eco-friendly sunglass collection in the world. This material allows them to create lightweight, durable frames, that are over 53% bio based. Rilsan Clear is derived from the renewable, non-genetically modified castor plant. Characteristics of this material include flexibility, lightweight, high elasticity, remarkable toughness, and excellent chemical resistance. Most importantly, this material is not petroleum based. Why is 53% bio-based important? Through extensive testing and field trials, Smith has found the correct balance of materials required to sustain performance and durability, while reducing our environmental impact. Smith Optics brand heritage was forged with a passion for the outdoors. This responsibility continues to drive them today. They recognize their obligation to be considerate to the environments they revere. With an unwavering commitment to further develop, Smith Optics explore the use of sustainable manufacturing materials into the Smith product of today, and into the future.

Polarization cuts glare. Glare off horizontal surfaces like snow, water, and asphalt, decreases depth perception, and reduces visual acuity which causes eye fatigue. Smith Optics precisely align the polarized visual layer inside their lenses to filter out 99.9% of this visual static for a finely tuned view of the action. Sunglasses have a 4 base lens curvature and auto-lock hinges. The lenses measure (W x H) 2.2" x 1.77" (55mm x 45mm), with a bridge width of 0.63" (16mm) and temple bar length of 5.7" (145mm). Sunglasses provide a medium fit and large coverage.
