Riptide 61mm Polarized Sport Square Sunglasses

Most sunglasses are just too dark for those overcast days so I chose the Cloudy Day Rose Blue Mirror. The clarity of the lens, the glare reduction and light weight of this frame make it an excellent choice. Great fit and finish, looking forward to years of service!

I use the Polarchromic Smith goggle for snow skiiing and decided to give the sunglasses version a try for beach use and boy I'm glad I did. Most SoCal beach days start out overcast then turn sunny. These glasses really perform in this environment; change shades quickly, are light and durable and look great. Way to go Smith!

I’ve had other high end brands and they are great. These are the best I’ve owned. The colors seem almost unreal.

Love them for that day and a half I had them. Lost them in the ocean. After looking for an hour I gave up. Expensive day at the beach. So bummed!!

First pair was Matte Pacific Crystal | ChromaPop Glass Polarized Opal Mirror they were my goto sunglasses and i used every day on the ocean. The arm finally gave up, Smith warranty them. I replaced them with ChromaPop Glass Polarchromic Rose Blue Mirror which IMO are even better.

My go to for cloudy or overcast conditions in competitive shooting - Chromapop lenses really are amazing and enhance colors and clarity

For years, I've worn Oakly Twoface sunglasses. I love the shape, but they quit making the black frames with black lenses. I scoured the internet for another quality brand that were the same or at least similar dimensions. I thought Costa Rincon or Rinconcito would be it, but they weren't as wide and were taller. After over a year of searching, I finally found the Smith Riptide. They're a little taller than the Twoface, but the width is there. I've seen some complaints regarding the lens coatung chipping, and so far I can't speak to that, but will update if they do.

A great pair of glasses. Was in the market for something that actually improved the quality of vision instead of just looking nice and this does both. The colors seriously do pop and they look sweet as well. Just waiting to try them out fishing, especially when cloudy to see how far I can test these glasses.

Overall these glasses perform as expected, but for optics of this quality I find it extremely frustrating that the inside of the glass is always streaky even when using lens cleaner and the provided microfiber. It is like the inside of the glasses has an oilophillic coating and no matter how many times you clean them there is streaky residue left on the lens. It is ridiculous paying this price for optical clarity and constantly seeing smudges.

Frame is a bit wider than hoped for but still love them. ChromaPop are lenses are tough to beat!

Glasses showed up a bit lopsided with one earpiece higher than the other.

Nice fit and surprisingly light for a glass lens. Had the Lowdown 2 with plastic lens and these are noticeably clearer. Brown polarized lens good for all but brightest days.
