Smith Sunglasses

Smith sunglasses have some of the best styles of polarized sunglasses on the market. If you are a fisherman, a boater, or a skier or snowboarder, these sunglasses will prove invaluable to you. Some of the best shades for both comfort and ruggedness, they are so lightweight you will hardly even notice that you are wearing them. They are made of Carbonic lenses which block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, and they will not break no matter what extreme sport you are involved in. Polarization cuts out 99% of the glare, which gives you more clarity and reduces vision fatigue. They are designed with a subtle “S” on the side, which is a nonchalant way of saying that you are sporting great sunglasses. The Hudson model has a Grilamid nylon frame which retains it shape, and is resilient, rugged and flexible, making these glasses fit the shape of your face perfectly.

These glasses also come in a few different colors, such as tortoise/polarized brown, black and white fade/polarized gray, and plain black/polarized gray. Many people say they have never been disappointed with a pair of Smith sunglasses, and that they would not go back after trying them.

With many outdoor sports, weather and light conditions vary from day to day. One day you are playing in bright sunlight, and the next day, it is grey and completely overcast. The same pair of sunglasses is not suitable for both conditions. This is where interchangeable lens sunglasses come in. They are the perfect solution, coming with different colored lens choices to suit any weather or light condition.

If you get a pair of sunglasses with an interchangeable lens system, such as Smith Sunglasses, it is like getting a few different pairs of sunglasses for the price of one. The lenses are changed depending on weather condition or the type of sport you are playing, thus enhancing your vision. If you are a tennis player, for example, you will want a colored lens that will enhance clarity and help you to spot the tennis ball better. However, if you are playing a sport like golf, you may want to switch a lens that will allow you to see all of the contrast on the golf course. For example, an optically clear or tinted lens will neutralize light without dulling brilliant colors that you want to see. Quality lenses will give you great vision without distortion, which causes headaches, lightheadedness, or nausea.

If you do a variety of different outdoor sports, and cannot decide what is the best type of sunglasses for every condition you play in, look no further. Smith Toaster sunglasses are absolutely brilliant if you fit into this “extreme sports” category. Smith Toaster sunglasses come with four different lenses, one of which is polarized, so that you can adapt your sunglasses to any lighting, weather, or sports condition.

The polarized lens reduces 99% of the glare from pavement, snow, water, or sand. This will decrease the strain on your eyes and increase the quality and contrast of your vision. Remember that, if you are driving long distances in snow, polarized lenses may not be ideal, as they may cause you to miss a patch of ice on the road.

Each frame includes one set of polarized lenses, but the tint will depend on what frame color you choose. The additional three lenses are designed for bright light, medium light, and nighttime conditions.

The Thermoplastic Grilamid frames are also lightweight, impact-resistant, and perfect for comfort and stability. The Carbonic Lenses use Smith’s special tapered lens technology, which provides distortion free vision. Not only that, but these glasses are designed with a hydrophilic Megol nose piece and temple ends that become stickier when wet, for optimal grip during hot weather or exercise.

If you are trying to decide between buying a pair of polarized sunglasses, or a pair of regular sunglasses, you can get both of them in one. Smith polarized sunglasses offer some of the best polarized lenses on the market, and they also make sunglasses with interchangeable lenses that are perfect for every sporting and weather condition.

Like the Toaster sunglasses model, Smith Factor sunglasses provide the same unique features except that they also offer unobstructed peripheral vision as well, making them ideal for cycling, trail running, or a day on the boat. They also come with one pair of polarized lenses, and three pairs of tinted lenses, for bright light, medium light, and evening light.

Smith Glasses are constructed with the highest quality lenses. Their polarized lenses are coated with the highest quality Japanese film to give you the truest color, object definition, and glare reduction. This film is combined with Techlite glass, which is the #1 best glass for scratch resistance and clarity. The glass is also chemically treated to make it even more shatter resistant. These materials are combined with Smith’s Carbonite lenses, which are the best in the world for impact resistant lens material. They are made with a tapered lens technology, which provides the most precise vision possible. There is even an extra anti-scratch coating to keep them new and fresh.

If you are considering what tint of lens you should get when choosing your next pair of Smith sunglasses, here are a few facts about lens tints and what type of vision they provide in certain lights.

A polarized rose copper lens will give you the truest color and object definition and will cut through haze in sunny to partly cloudy conditions, thereby reducing eye fatigue. Platinum mirror lenses are also rose based, but will increase depth perception in extremely sunny to partly cloudy conditions, and the mirror coating will reduce glare.

A dark brown tint is ideal for very sunny and bright conditions. A gold based lens will filter out blue light to enhance shadow contrast, especially in flat light conditions. A vibrant yellow lens is also suitable for flat and low light conditions, increasing visual acuity.

The most suitable type of lens for almost all conditions is a combination of rose and copper base tints. This universal lens tint will give you the best vision in most light and weather conditions, and will cut glare in all conditions. For varying levels of low light, a combination of a light rose base with a gold mirror tint will enhance color definition and increase depth perception. A clear lens, of course, is ideal for nighttime conditions.

If you pay a higher price for something, whether it is shoes, a sweater, or an electronic device, chances are that you will take better care of it. When you buy cheap sunglasses, you tend to think, “If something happens, it's not a big deal because I can run over to the drug store and replace them for hardly anything.” And fairly often, these cheaper glasses get scratched, lost, or broken.

Common sense says that if you put an investment on something, you will guard it more carefully. Some people say they cannot see themselves spending a high price for a pair of sunglasses, but once they try them out and see and feel the difference, they can't go back. When you consider how long a “well-taken-care-of” pair of sunglasses will last you, the cost ends up being cheaper in the long run. If you buy a cheap pair of sunglasses for $20 every year for many years instead of a higher quality pair of sunglasses such as Smith sunglass, which last you for many years, you will most likely end up spending more in the end.

Not only will a better pair of sunglasses last you longer, but they will also fit better, you will see more clearly (eliminating headache from wearing cheap sunglasses all day long), and you will have more protection for your vision. If you are willing to make the investment, you will not regret it.
