A good compromise

By alamodoc Ranked #2156 - Sunglasses January 30, 2007

This is the third pair of sunglasses I’ve bought with interchangeable lenses, and the best of the lot. I also own a pair of Oakleys (the ‘Heaters’ with wraparounds) and Bolles with lenses that snap in and out. In both cases the procedure stands a risk of breaking a lens. The Smiths are much easier to interchange. Smith has made a good attempt at making these sunglasses look like their traditional frames, and if that look is important to you, this is a good compromise. Most of us have little use for the clear lenses that are included. The other two pair, yellow and brownish tint cover most circumstances. If I were Smith, I make the clear lenses an option and provide only the other two, but make the darker one polarized. If you have any doubt, opt for the model for a narrower face. Like the Bolle, the ‘standard’ size is a bit wide. PS – I am a male, so for females, this is probably critical.
