love them

My favorite sunglasses and have 3 different pairs. Costs more but so worth it. Most comfy, stylish and can wear them for hours on end without pain on the nose or behind the ears. And the chromapop coloring of the lenses is just superb! Best sunglasses ever

Riptide quick hit

Coverage surprisingly good, thought I would need a more wrap around shape to keep out light from sides but these work great. The tint is good for bright light, but bit dark if there is some cloud cover. Really like the green mirror finish, low-pro and cool.

ChromoPop 4 Life!

Frame (Riptide)is a great fit for big heads like mine and the ChromoPop lenses are amazing! These lenses are better than some of the more marketed lenses out there (Maui Jim). These lenses are great for bright days, overcast days ANY DAY!

A sweet pair of classic

A sweet pair of classic Smith’s. Living in Florida with all the humidity, really enjoying the glass lenses too.

Bright and fun: what you see and what others see on you

The Riptides are light and comfortable. The lenses brighten the colors though they are sunglasses. I chose a colored frame and have been getting compliments daily.

Love Them!

Recently got LASIK, so these are my first NICE pair of sunglasses. And they are everything I was hoping to get!

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.
