    Providing maximum coverage, these Smith Parallel polarized interchangeable sunglasses allow unobstructed peripheral vision—ideal for trail 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 1 set of polarized lenses (tint depends on frame color) and 2 additional sets of lenses for a total of 3 sets of lenses
    • Brown frames feature polarized brown lenses that block reflected glare while providing increased depth perception and reducing eye strain
    • Black frames feature polarized gray lenses that block reflected glare while preserving natural colors in order to provide true color definition
    • Non-polarized, additional lenses are ideal for low and medium to nighttime light
    • Scratch- and impact-resistant Carbonic™ lenses use Tapered Lens Technology from Smith™ to provide distortion-free vision
    • Tapered Lens Technology contours the thickness of the lens so that light travels through without distortion—what you see is what you get
    • Grilamid® TR90 lightweight nylon frames offer a consistent fit and flexibility in all temperatures and are extremely impact resistant
    • Hydrophilic Megol™ nosepiece and temple ends become tackier when wet for reliable grip during exercise and hot weather
    • 9-base-curve lenses; (the higher the number the more curved the lens—Smith features sunglasses with 6, 7, 8 and 9 base curvature)
    • Frames have a medium fit with large coverage

    Imported.

    Comments about Smith Parallel Max Polarized Sunglasses:

    I've been a buyer of cheap sunglasses for a long time and swore that I would never buy another pair of $100 sunglasses after losing a pair about 15 years ago. These fit nice and snug but leave enough airflow around them that they don't fog up. The polarized frames are excellent on the water and they come with three pairs of lenses (smoke, amber, clear). I'm very happy so far and would definitely recommend them in the price range.

    Service and delivery comments:

    I bought these while traveling at the store in Sacramento,CA and the first employee was not interested in helping me at all. I told him what I wanted and he took it to the register then disappeared. He acted like I was bothering him. Fortunately another employee in the knife section talked with me and explained the membership program. We discussed knives and he recommended one which I bought online once I returned home. I wish I remembered his unusual name because he deserves credit for me becoming a member and a repeat customer. I would have been a one time customer based on the first guy.

    Comments about Smith Parallel Max Polarized Sunglasses:

    These are my third pair of Smith's (lost my Toasters, and still have my Thresholds) and by far my favorite. The lenses offergood coverage and protection, and vent quite well (much better than my Thresholds) which is a plus during a hike or ride, and these fit my face the best. As with all Smith sunglasses I've owned, there is some noticeable distortion though I don't find it bothersome and vision through the lenses is crystal clear. Not quite upto the lens quality of Oakley, but very, very good and well worth the money imo.
