Smith Lenses & Frame

LENSES

TECHLITE POLARIZED GLASS
Techlite Polarized Glass lenses produce clarity, optical precision, and comfort that surpass all expectations. By absolutely minimizing lens thickness to provide a 20% weight reduction over most other glass lenses, the total frame weight rivals any glass lens sunglass on the market. 
All Techlite Polarized Glass lenses utilize a multi-layer Anti-Reflective (AR) mirror coating on the inside of every lens to absorb back light effects. A permanent hydrophobic coating protects the lens and mirror coatings by repelling water, dirt, fingerprints, and grease. 

CARBONIC LENS
: Impact resistant polarized optics providing great value and glare reduction.


CARBONIC TLT: Engineered to be the most impact resistant lens material in the world, Carbonic TLT lenses are optically corrected to maximize visual clarity and object definition. Carbonic TLT polarized and non-polarized lenses are ideal for sport and casual use. 


CR39
: A lightweight advanced polymer, it has a high abrasion and scratch resistance. Fashion forward colorations and gradient fades complement excellent optical clarity.
SMITH POLARIZATION: This layer in the lens, blocks out 99.9% of reflective glare making long summer days a breeze on your eyes.Blocking glare off horizontal surfaces like snow, water, and asphalt.
POLARCHROMIC: With Smith Polar-chromic we combine the glare-free benefits of advanced polarization with UV sensitive, self-tint-adjusting photo-chromic technology to bring you the most advanced sunglass lenses we have ever created. Smith Polar-chromic never wears out or gets tired lasting the life of the your sunglasses. Versatile and comfortable, Smith Polar-chromic lenses automatically darken or lighten as a response to the level of light you are exposed to. 
HYDROPHOBIC COATING: Repels moisture, grease, and grime. A barrier between your lenses and the world, water will bead up and disperse without streaking. Smudges from fingerprints are wiped clean easily.

FRAMES

GRILAMID-TR90 
Resilient, tough and flexible Grilamid® TR90 is an exceedingly light and durable plastic that will maintain its shape under all temperature conditions.
HANDMADE ACETATE: A 33-step handcrafted process that features the inclusion of wire-core temples for a customized fit. A huge variety of rich color combinations that possess depth and have a distinct character are made possible with this material.
EVOLVE: For over 40 years Smith has been a steward of the outdoors. Great days in the water, dirt, and snow are made better when we protect the environment as well. By utilizing a new material called Rilsan® Clear, we are creating lightweight, durable, and fully transparent sunglass frames that are over 53% bio-based. Created from easily renewable, non-genetically modified castorplants, the Rilsan® Clear material frame is combined with FSC certified packaging and a coconut fiber storage bag. Not to be forgotten, each logo plaque is ‘finished’ with a clear water-based protective coating. The end result is a fully considered sunglass and a clearer conscience.
TECHNOLOGY METALS: Sculptural elements are expertly cast into durable lightweight alloys. Choose from a wide range of world-class, investment-quality gold, silver, platinum and chrome tints. Adding these precious metals to your portfolio will, most certainly, improve your stock and up your game.
HYDROPHILIC MEGOL: Placed at the nose and on the temple tips, this material gently grips your skin to help keep your frame in place. The gripping power increases when introduced to moisture.
