Wildcat ChromaPop Sunglasses

Not durable

Glasses are fragile and break easily at hinge/temple piece. Smith does not offer replacement pieces which means you have to buy new glasses…

Great glasses!

I've used it several times

I bought the glasses about a month ago and super glad I did. I was going to get a Tifosi pair but ended up buying these due to the reviews about the comfort. I hardly notice these are on my head! They are super lightweight. Provide great protection with the oversized lenses and they breathe super well. I have not used the adjustable nose piece as the fit seems great as is. I was a little concerned the first time I changed the lenses that I might break something, but now that I've done it a few times, they pop in and out very easily. The carrying case is fantastic and overall I couldn't be happier! If I had one thing I would add is I wish Smith made available for purchase a photo chromatic lense for these frames

Stellar Performance Glasses

I was looking for lightweight performance sunglasses for trail running and other outdoor activities this spring. I’ve had my pair since May and have used them almost daily since then while training for a half marathon. I chose these glasses over the bobcat because of the adjustable nose feature. I rarely have issues of them sliding off my face… that only happens when I wear sunscreen on my nose on a hot day. I have a smaller face but the smallest nose setting works great for me! I’m impressed by how easy it is the remove the lense and the durability of these! They are beautiful and a statement piece, I always get compliments when I wear them. I’m considering buying a replacement lense because I’m hopeful to have these for a long time! I would absolutely buy these again in a heartbeat. 10/10 would recommend!

These are exactly what I

These are exactly what I was looking for. I wish the lenses could be switched out quicker and hopefully that will be an option in the future. They look great and provide excellent coverage.

Great frames for a bit and then disintegrated

These frames started awesome (I have the pink/blue ones), so much that I also purchased the photocromic lenses. Use for MTB and backcountry skiing. Noticed that the frame color started to fade and got "sticky" so the material was deteriorating. Smith said wasn't covered under warranty. Lame. Beware of longevity.

Smith will not honor warranty claims

Loved these glasses but the hinge gave out on me. I completely expected that the issue would be covered by the Smith lifetime warranty but they denied my claim saying the issue was not covered under their warranty. I feel their warranty policy is grossly misleading and I'm sad they do not stand by their products like other outdoor brands.

Really disappointed

Used them for riding for 2 years and the hinge broke when my wife was taking them off. No impact or damage, just a clean break. They denied the warranty. The warranty and reputation is why we spent twice as much as other glasses like this. Definitely wouldn’t recommend

Lens Cracked Within a Year

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

The lens cracked within a year. Smith will deny the warranty claim, saying you must have misused it. All I did was wear them while cycling, gently clean them, and then store them in the case until I would need them again. At no point were they misused or damaged due to an accident. The crack happened from normal wear and tear.

Far better options for the price

Poor fit and mediocre lens compared to similarly priced brands. I tried to get used to these for about two months before ditching them for Oakley Sutros. The Wildcat frames are definitely in my peripheral view for biking and the upper lens will touch my eyebrows leaving a nice smudge every time I wear them. The frames also did not fit under my Smith brand helmet. They helped block the wind a little bit but did not prevent my eyes from watering. My first ride with the Sutros I forgot I had them on they were so comfortable, my eyes did not water, and their Prizm lens tech is far superior, no comparison.
