Lenses are only half the story. FRAME TECHNOLOGY.
EVOLVE™ ECO-MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION
Our proprietary Evolve material incorporates 53% biobased material into our injected-polymer sunglasses. Smith sunglasses are the largest eco-friendly sunglass collection in the world.
NON-SLIP MEGOL
Placed at the nose and on the temple tips, megol gently grips your skin to help keep the frame in place. The gripping power increases when introduced to moisture.
GRILAMID® TR90
Resilient, tough, and flexible. Grilamid® TR90 is an exceedingly light and durable plastic that will maintain its shape under all temperature conditions
PREMIUM HINGES GOOD: Smith Auto-lock hinges stay tight and secure so your glasses stay on. BETTER: Smith’s Barrel Hinges are designed for longevity, resulting in a precise fit over the life of the sunglass. BEST: Italian out-of-sight spring hinges keep the temple snug against your head while smoothly self-adjusting in order to accommodate comfortably a broader range of head shapes and sizes.
METALS
Ultra lightweight with an immaculate fit. Classic silhouettes constructed with premium titanium, stainless steel or sculpted alloy metal frames. Adjustable silicone or optical nose pads provide all-day comfort.
BASE CURVE The base curve is the radius of the sphere measured from the back of the lens. Smith features styles with 6, 7, 8, and 9 base lens curvature. Models that include 6 base tend to be more flat relative to your face. While 9 base styles provide the maximum amount of wrap around your face.
