Providing maximum coverage, these polarized sport glasses allow unobstructed peripheral vision--ideal for running, cycling or a day on the boat.

  • 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 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
  • Medium fit with an extra-large size lens for greater coverage

Imported.

    Comments about Smith Factor D-Max Sunglasses - Polarized:

    I use these glasses while cycling. They do a great job of protecting your eyes from the wind and sun. Mine came with four lenses. 2 tinted, 1 yellow, and 1 clear. I believe that only 1 set of lenses is polarized.

    I have found them to be very comfortable. Scratching happens and these are no better/worse than other pairs I have owned.

    The interchangeable lenses pop in and out easily. Once they are in, there is little chance that they are coming out.

    The frame is plastic. Not the strongest frame I've ever seen, but it works just fine.

    Overall 4/5. Stronger frame would be nice.

    Comments about Smith Factor D-Max Sunglasses - Polarized:

    Yes, plastic lenses scratch easily. But, these are the best of the type. I just lost a pair of Smith Facor Max and got these as a replacement, and I really like the slightly larger lenses, especially when running. I don't think the larger lens was available when I bought the last pair.

    Comments about Smith Factor D-Max Sunglasses - Polarized:

    I bought these a couple weeks ago and am very very pleased with them. The lenses are high quality and provide a very crisp image with accurate color representation. They cover my peripheral vision pretty well but don't wrap well enough to be used in anything that requires protection from high winds.
    I have a large-ish head and generally have problems with my eyelashes hitting lenses. These provide an excellent combination of a close fit without hitting my eyelashes.
    Overall, these are great all-around glasses.

    Comments about Smith Factor D-Max Sunglasses - Polarized:

    I like these sunglasses for full protection of my eyes, especially for those like me with a larger-than-average-sized head! They look kind of goofy, I think, on smaller heads (like my wife's), but they fit me perfectly. I like the interchangeable lenses (for different light conditions) and, although they scratch somewhat easily, you can replace lenses cheaply enough.

      Comments about Smith Factor D-Max Sunglasses - Polarized:

      I was given these from my father. Man was i impressed. I have a larger than average head and most glasses look bad on me. These on the otherhand fit quite nicely. The frame is the only thing that needs to be noticed. It has a flimsy plastic design. Just dont let your dog get to them and watch where you sit. If you are looking for a great pair of glasses, you can't go wrong with these.
