Fell apart within 6 weeks

Bought a pair of 200+ dollar riptide and within 6 weeks the rubber on the nose and the ear had come off. I’ve been easy on these glasses and primarily wear my costas. Gave Scott a shot because I do like the green lens over my costas however cannot justify the price for such low quality material.

Back in stock timeline?

I have owned a pair of these and I enjoyed them so much that I need to get another! My last pair snapped at the hinge, but not due to a quality issue. Can someone from Smith please reach out and give me an idea of when they might be back in stock? Thank you

Best sunglasses

Best Smith’s I’ve had yet a hope they keep this style around. Like the glass lenses and the matte finish.

My new favorite brand!

I have a smaller face with slightly uneven ears I also am getting older so my eyes can’t take the really dark lens anymore. These are working out perfect. The frames are light, the spring hinges are firm so they don’t fall off my face and they don’t touch my face so the lens doesn’t get fogged up constantly. The lens color is perfect for both everyday as well as offshore fishing. Cuts the harsh sun and glare, but colors stay true and I can still see detail. My new favorites.

I wish the tint was

I wish the tint was darker. I love the brown lense and frame, but farther would be preferable. The fit is great, the frame fits my face perfectly. Visibility is amazing. I love the chromapop.
