Smith

Guide's Choice Sunglasses

Nice pair of sunglasses.

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Awesome glasses I got on sale. They fit my head well, and are very comfortable all day while fishing. The grey frames look slightly blue to me, but I like blue so its ok. Contrast from the green lenses is good for looking into the water.

+ optics, fit ok

Optics very good. Not much option for fit adjustment, would like tighter fit at ears.

Blue/Yellow glass

Bought the new glass blue/yellow lens. Very disappointing. Thought they would be more on the blue side but they are completely yellow. A yellow lens with a vlt of 11-23 makes absolutely no sense. You are basically just enhancing the sun and not letting enough light in on cloudy days. Going to send them back.

High quality through and through.

I've put it through the wringer

In my opinion the frames are a bit narrow for a larger man with wider face, but the materials and quality is great, no question about it. Glass quality is a step up from lower proved Smith options and the integrated lanyard work great.

No Joakleys EVER again for me! Glass is amazing!

I have the ChromaPop™ Glass Polarchromic Brown Green Mirror, and they're the best shades I've ever had. Extremely impressed with the scratch resistance. I wear them fishing and at work as a crane rigger and months later they're still mint. The variable light transmission works well and is not a gimmick. I'll never go back to joakleys, I'd have scratches in the first week and they don't offer near the optical clarity of these glass lenses. Comfortable fit with the springy arms, and minuscule peripheral blindspot, and no unwanted light from the back or sides with the wrap around shape. Very impressed.

Color fades after minor usage

I purchased a pair of Guide’s Choice in the tortoise color way. After light usage these frames have begun to lose the paint all over. Warranty did not cover it, better off with a cheaper alternative.

Great glasses but fragile and bad Smith warranty

I loved these glasses. Great fit and really nice glass but the frame is extremely fragile. My frame broke on the lens portion frame as the result of a very small impact. Smith would not warranty the glasses. So beware of Smith’s warranty. These are expensive glasses that I expected Smith would standby their product.

These glasses are amazing!

These are glasses are truly a game changer for me! I am a avid fly fisherman and I truly love the outdoors. The unbelievable clarity of the glasses are absolutely amazing on the river or walking around in the mountains! I will recommend these to anyone and everyone I can!

Best sunglasses I've owned

These are fantastic sunglasses, and provide amazing clear views. The tint is just right to be dark enough on a bright day, but still wearable on an overcast day. Highly recommend these glasses to anyone looking for an amazing pair! And, the warranty can't be beat either.

Great lens, they clarify even

Great lens, they clarify even in direct sunlight. Frame is very light and has great coverage.
