A little bit square yet enduringly hip, Smith District sunglasses accomodate replacement lenses* in different shades for use in a variety of light conditions.

Scratch- and impact-resistant Carbonic™ lenses use Tapered Lens Technology from Smith™ to provide distortion-free vision
Polarized lenses reduce 99% of visible glare from water, snow, sand and pavement for increased visual acuity and decreased eye strain
Thermoplastic Grilamid™ nylon 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
Closeout

*Frames accommodate replacement lenses (extra lenses not included)

Comments about Smith District II Polarized Sunglasses - Special Buy:

I bought these as a backup for the Smith Threshold Sliders that I wear when I run and ride. It might be that my head is slightly too large for these frames, but they feel very narrow and slide around far too much. I ended up pushing them up my nose - something I never do with my Thresholds - at least once a minute.

The lenses are great and change out easily, so from that side of it, I have no complaints. I wear them sometimes driving, but even then, they still move around a bit just from not having enough rubber to hold them still. Even at a discounted price, I can't recommend them.

Comments about Smith District II Polarized Sunglasses - Special Buy:

I drive school bus and wanted a pair of polarized glasses - the glare of the morning sun is horrible! I am also an avid hiker and wanted something that wouldn't slip from perspiration. These glasses fit the bill! They are great in blocking the glare and they stay put on my face. I have no issues with slipping, even when I am dripping with sweat.

I have also dropped them a few times on pavement with no damage. I wear them every day and would certainly buy another pair!

Comments about Smith District II Polarized Sunglasses - Special Buy:

I have been very happy with my District II's. I'm picking up my second pair because I snapped the frame and scratched the amber-tinted lenses in a bike wreck. These glasses are light and comfortable, and the lenses are very clear. I use mine biking, driving, sometimes running, and for casual wear, and have never had any trouble. My only complaint is that the frames feel a little fragile, so I'm afraid to carry them in a pocket without the hard case (which is too large for that). Having said that, the frame has held up nicely except when I landed on my head while wearing them mountain biking.
