Smith introduces a new twist to their interchangeable lens system with an intuitive way to switch your lenses in any sport or lighting condition!

  • With the new Interlock Interchangeable system, simply rotate a temple to slightly open and close frame for lens changing
  • 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 two additional sets of lenses for a total of three sets of lenses
  • Nonpolarized, additional lenses are ideal for low- and medium light and nighttime
  • Grilamid™ TR90 lightweight nylon frames offer a consistent fit and flexibility in all temperatures and are extremely impact resistant
  • Scratch- and impact-resistant Carbonic™ lenses use Smith's Tapered Lens Technology™ to provide distortion-free vision
  • Smith's Tapered Lens Technology™ progressively tapers the lens toward the outer edge, allowing distortion-free vision
  • Hydrophilic Megol™ temple ends become tackier when wet for reliable grip during exercise and hot weather
  • Best fits a small face
  • Protective storage case included

Imported.

      Comments about Smith Whisper Interlock Polarized Sunglasses:

      I am a fan of Smith sunglasses. However, I believe this model is flawed. After purchasing these glasses, I noticed that the lenses do not fit the frames well, leaving a "gap" where sunlight comes in.

        Comments about Smith Whisper Interlock Polarized Sunglasses:

        I am on my second pair after my pup ate my first pair. For me, these are one of the best and most versitale sunglasses I have owned. I have a small to medium sized face, so these fit me well with very little light gap between the frame and my face. But it is critical to try these on to see how well they fit you before buying them. I have had no issue with the interlock system and the lens fit perfectly on both pair.

          Comments about Smith Whisper Interlock Polarized Sunglasses:

          I bought these glasses to replace a 5+ year old pair of Bolle sunglasses that had recently broken. I think that the frame is actually stronger than it looks, but I would expect the frame to appear a bit more substantial for the price (looks a bit flimsy/cheap). I have not had problems with gaps letting light leak through, however I only changed the lenses out once to see how it worked. I don't really see myself using the extra lenses that come with the sunglasses so hopefully I will not run into the problems the other reviewer encountered.

          I would recommend these glasses for casual use or light use, they do not seem like adequate protection is provided for activities like biking or climbing. Also, I would have concerns about durability if one plans on frequently changing lenses.
