  • Polarized lenses reduce 99% of visible glare from water, snow, sand and pavement for increased visual acuity and decreased eye strain
  • Each frame includes one set of polarized lenses (tint depends on frame color) and three additional sets of lenses for a total of four sets of lenses
  • Non-polarized, additional lenses are ideal for low- and medium- light to night time conditions
  • Scratch- and impact-resistant Carbonic™ lenses use Smith's Tapered Lens Technology™ to provide distortion-free vision
  • Thermoplastic Grilamid™ frames are shock-resistant, lightweight, non-allergenic and used for stability and durability
  • Hydrophilic Megol™ nosepiece and temple ends become tackier when wet for reliable grip during exercise and hot weather

        Comments about Smith Factor Max Sunglasses - Polarized:

        These are a little small but were the best fit without going to the "Bug Eye" Paris Hilton sunglasses that are the in fashion these days. Good protection better side protection than most and interchangeable lenses, not that I change them that much, the yellow are nice in low light or just clear for protection from the low branches. Over all I like, even though a little small.

        • Decent optix

        Cons

        • Flimsy Frame
        • Poor lens design

        Best Uses

        • Backup pair
        • Looking good around town

        Comments about Smith Factor Max Sunglasses - Polarized:

        The lens are attached to the frame by two small tabs that snap off after about one month of use. I've had two sets break, both times in the back country at the beginning of a trek. Smith replaced the first pair but I probably won't bother with replacing the second as they are so unreliable. Too bad as this is the first time I've treated myself to a set of upscale eyewear.

        Comments about Smith Factor Max Sunglasses - Polarized:

        These are great glasses. One of the most comfortable pairs I have ever owned. The extra protection of the max is worth it. They are so light you can barely feel them on your face. Only flaw is that the frame breaks too easily. I went through two frames not wanting to give up on them but had to in the end when they broke again and I faced [$] for a new frame or [$] toward new glasses.

        Comments about Smith Factor Max Sunglasses - Polarized:

        The polarized lenses are great for water sports. These glasses do come with a lot of lenses, 4 pair. That's a good thing because Smith lenses scratch pretty easily. The frames are very comfortable but on my noggin they touch my eyebrows slightly. The case and lense cloth are very nice additions.
