Features

  • ChromaPop lens filters specific wavelengths of light that cause color confusion, delivering natural color and excellent definition, detail and clarity
  • Polarized lenses decrease eye strain by reducing visible glare from water, snow, sand and pavement
  • Lenses also provide impact protection and 100% UV protection
  • Vacuum-applied antireflective coatings on the back of the lenses eliminate bothersome sidelight reflections
  • Hydroleophobic (water- and oilproof) coating repels moisture, grease and grime—water beads up and disperses without streaking, and fingerprint smudges can be easily wiped away
  • Hydrophilic Megol® nosepads gently grip your skin to help keep the frame in place for a secure fit; gripping power increases when introduced to moisture
  • 6-base lens curvature rests flat relative to your face
  • Smith autolock hinges stay tight and secure so your glasses stay on
  • Proprietary Evolve frame incorporates 53% bio-based material into these injected-polymer sunglasses
  • Includes microfiber storage and cleaning bag
  • Medium fit and medium coverage

Wow, these are so nice! I worked up a sweat gardening and hiking this weekend, and these 1) never fogged up on me and 2) stayed put even when my face was dripping (some sort of magical grips on the nose piece). They are super comfortable after hours of continuous wear, no pain on my nose bridge or tops of ears. And I can attest to their clarity- while wearing them, I spotted morels on the trail even though I wasn't looking for them! My only complaint- I am forever ruined on department store cheapie sunglasses.

Perfect sunglasses for outdoor adventures!

3 years ago

I love these sunglasses! I’ve been wearing them hiking, mountain biking, and around town. They are super comfortable and fit really well. No uncomfortable spots on my nose or by my ears as can sometimes happen with sunglasses. They wrap around nicely so no big gaps. They are excellent in both bright. sunny conditions and lower light conditions. The ChromaPop Lenses really do what they say. Colors are vibrant and crystal clear. A really noticeable improvement over my drugstore sunglasses (I guess I shouldn’t be surprised!). In addition to the fit and the lenses, they look great! I’ve been trying to keep my husband and teenager from stealing them as we are all digging the style and functionality of these sunglasses. I will never again doubt the value of a really well-made and designed pair of sunglasses like these from Smith.

Better than expected!

4 years ago

Thew clarity with the ChromaPop is amazing! The details truly do pop. I have a fair amount of eye fatigue and these glasses help to reduce the strain. My face is a bit small so I need a little smaller frame size. The Basecamp "fit" the bill...and the rest of my head. Totally like the reflective lens and the finish of Matte Gravy is terrific. Don't be fooled they don't look like gravy from thanksgiving. Great job SMITH!

Happy Camper!

3 years ago

The Basecamps, like all smith products, are top notch! The fit is snug enough to keep them on my face, while still comfortable. The polarized impact resistant lens technology make them ideal for a wide range of adventures. Their touch is so delicate, it’s easy to forget I’m wearing them. Highly recommended!

I’ve been using the Basecamps

3 years ago

I’ve been using the Basecamps here lately as my daily drivers. I bought them specifically for fishing and hiking. The polarization and clarity are far better than any other sunglasses I have owned in the past. Most sunglasses I have owned for over 5 years. We will see if these stand up to the test over the next for years. Love everything about the Basecamps other than they sit a little lower on my face than I prefer. It’s mostly because I have a smaller nose. It would be nice to see some frames in the future for people with smaller noses. I know that we can’t have everything but it sure would be nice to see what other features come out in the future. Keep up the good work Smith!

Great on the Trails, Great on the Water!

3 years ago

These sunglasses are built very well. I love how the frame material is light yet sturdy. All the connections are well made too. I took these glasses on a backpacking trip and dropped them a couple times. The frame never fell apart and the lenses were fine. Optically, these glasses are also very great. You can tell they're polarized especially when you're on the water. I do love how they reduce the water glare significantly. I haven't tested these on snow. I'm not the biggest fan of the frame's shape, but that has to do with my head. Overall, Smith made a solid polarized sunglass!

Excellent Light Weight Sunglasses

3 years ago

These sunglasses are really great. They're super lightweight, so I barely notice them when they're one. They also don't feel like they're digging into my head after I've had them on for while, and the nose piece area is also really comfortable. I've used them for running and hiking, and they stay put for both activities. I've also used them as everyday sunglasses, and they have really helped reduce eye strain when driving for a while. I would imagine these would be great out on the water. The only improvement I can think of is that they should come with a hard case.

Love the brown base of the lens. The fit of the glasses are really good as well for my face.

I’ve been a diehard Oakley guy since I was a young buck. I’ve had tons of them and still do. I wanted an all purpose frame the I can use while running, mtbing, exploring the back country, and when on the water. I wanted the outlier but it was sold out in all the colors I liked. So decided to try the basecamp in the matte gravy with the bronze tint. They are soo sick. Went on a tough trail run and they stayed put! Was able to see fish while fishing very well. They fit me pretty good as I have a med-sm head size. I fill they hold the thin line between getting after it when breaking a sweat and chillin’ out after for a beer and bbq. Oh yeah… the lens tech has top notch clarity! might have jumped over to the SMITH side. :sunglasses::call_me_hand::skin-tone-4:
