Smith Mogul Sunglasses - Polarchromic
You might wait table at Chachki’s and live in your parents’ basement, but you’ll feel like you’re in control of a worldwide enterprise when you put on the Smith Mogul Polarchromic Sunglasses. The TLT Techlite glass lenses give you full glare protection when you’re out on the water and adjust to different lighting conditions, giving you guaranteed protection from cloudy mornings to bluebird afternoons. The medium-fit frames give you big coverage to let everyone know you’re a big deal.
Bottom Line: Hit the big time with the Smith Mogul.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
Great style and function, decent durability

I traded my usual tried and true Julbo Nomads for a pair Smith Moguls on my last expedition. I decided to make the change for three reasons: 1st, the Smith Moguls fit my face well- which is key in blocking out solar rays and snow reflection, 2nd, because of the polarchromic function, and 3rd, the wider side frames blocked out reflected light.
I found the polarchromic function subtle- that is, the difference between bright and overcast conditions didn't change the lens tint a whole lot- but this doesn't really matter since I found the glass lenses crystal clear and the tint appropriate in all light conditions. The hinges on these glasses are bulletproof, and they survived my expedition abuse well, including a number of drops from head height.
As for durability, I found the lens almost impossible to scratch, but the silver accent on one side of the frame fell off the first week of wear. We'll see how good Smith's warranty is.

Pretty nice lens, some durability issue.

This are nice glasses but don't expect much from the Polarchromic feature. I guess there is some adjustment but is not very perceptible.
I used my galsses for a ski trip and the silver decoration on one side fell. There's another review claiming the same problem so I guess Smith has a durability issue with this.
No complains on the lens though, they are great. Frame is nice and stylish and serves its purpose to cover well the eye area and avoid reflection form the sides. But having to loose that on my fisrt week of use made me angry! Fortunatley you have Smith lifetime warranty, and better yet you have Backcountry.com warranty!
Change me.
