Sleek and subtle, 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 (red and clear) 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 medium coverage

Imported.

Comments about Smith Parallel Polarized Sunglasses:

I've always worn Smith sunglass, but they've never been with the replaceable lenses. When I was a raft guide, I worried I'd lose a lens while out and about. Now that I have a pair of Parallel sunglasses, I realize that my worries were unnecessary. Lenses are very easy to remove, yet they are very secure while in use.

If I had to list a con, it would be with the selection of additional lenses included in the box. In addition to the polarized brown lens, mine included an ignitor (purple/red-ish) lens and a clear lens. I don't know if will ever use either. I would have loved a gray or a platinum lens. I don't think REI sells additional lenses...

Overall, a great product. I'm glad I bought them!!

Comments about Smith Parallel Polarized Sunglasses:

I have been wearing either Ray Ban Aviator or Smith slider style sunglasses (when introduced) most of my life. These glasses provide me with the most versatile eye protection I have experienced. The wraparound interchangeable lenses are stylish as well as functional for most every activity. Driving, flying, golfing, biking, river rafting and ocean sports are but a few of the activities that I find them excellent in use. I especially like the coverage without any visual obstruction. These glasses are ultimately the best.

Comments about Smith Parallel Polarized Sunglasses:

I really like these shades. They have been everything I wanted. I think I might I have scratched them in a high corner but that was my fault and otherwise I have had no issues.
