Limited Lifetime Warranty
Technical Information: Defined by innovation. Driven by performance.
Developed with a passion for the great outdoors.
Techlite lenses:
To create our lightweight Smith Techlite lenses, we use the highest
quality borosilicate glass ground down to our desired thickness and
polished by precision machinery. Then each lens is
chemically-tempered in a nitrate bath for increased shatter resistance
of any lens material available and is significantly lighter than
standard glass lenses.
Carbonic Lenses: Our Smith Carbonic lenses feature our Tapered
Lens Technology (TLT) and provide a shatter resistant front line of
defense against dust, flying debris and other airborne irritants.
Ultralight and optically precise, they don't just meet ANSI standards
for optical clarity and impact resistance, they exceed them.
Grilamd Frame: In theory, Grilamid is a rugged, resilient
frame material that is specially formulated for flex, impact, strength
and dimensional stability. In practice, it's tough enough to
withstand the most aggressive physical punishment your body is willing
to endure.
Acetate Frames: Our handcrafted
frames combine fashion details with durable acetate, and feature wire
core temples for easy adjustability and a secure, comfortable fit. Each
frame is individually hand crafted through a 17-step process and
polished for a refined, precise appearance.
Hydrophilic Megol: Our rubberized nose pads and temple ends are
made from moisture absorbing hydrophilic Megol. As you sweat the
Megol becomes tacky, keeping the sunglasses positioned comfortably on
your face, even during the most rigorous sports activities.
Tapered Lens Technology (TLT): Visual distortion occurs when
light waves hit an aggressively curved lens causing it to refract or
distort. This distortion results in a reduction of optical
clarity. Smith's Tapered Lens Technology corrects the distortion
inherent in standard 8 and 9 base lens curves by progressively tapering
the lens toward the outer edge. This way, light waves are
delivered straight to your eye. The result? Zero distortion.
Polarized Lens: (marked with *) Light waves traveling freely can
vibrate in any direction. When light strikes a horizontal surface,
such as water, sand or pavement, it vibrates horizontally, creating
glare. Our Waterman's Series polarized lenses with their
Horizontal Glare Reduction (HGR) filter are designed specifically filter
out 99% of reflected glare. The end result is enhanced visual
acuity and reduced eye fatigue.
Protection from the Sun: Solar radiation
is formed by visible and invisible light waves. Measured in
nanometers, it has three wavelengths that reach and affect your eyes:
Ultraviolet, Visible Light and Infrared Radiation. Ultraviolet
exists at 200-380nm. Studies show that long term exposure to UV
may cause eye diseases, including cataracts. In addition, short
term exposure can cause temporary conditions such as "snow blindness".
Ultraviolet radiation can be divided into three categories. UVC
(200-290nm) is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere and never reaches your
eyes. UVB (290-320nm) is a physically painful form of
ultraviolet radiation. These are the suns "tanning rays" which are
absorbed by the cornea. Exposure to UVB can temporarily damage the
cornea. UVA (320-380nm) rays are absorbed by the lens of your eyes.
The resulting damage heals slowly, if at all. About one percent of
all UVA rays penetrate the retina, which can not repair itself.
All Smith lenses provide 100% protection from dangerous UV radiation.
