Smith Wildcat ChromaPop Sunglasses
Charge any trail—in sun or snow—with excellent eye protection, thanks to the full-coverage, hybrid construction and cylindrical lens of the Smith Wildcat ChromaPop™ sunglasses.
- Lightweight, max-coverage sunglasses protect like goggles but with the airflow and comfort of sunglasses, keeping sun and snow out of your eyes while skiing and skinning
- Comes with a ChromaPop lens for bright light and a secondary clear lens for overcast days or rides and ski runs with heavy tree canopy
- ChromaPop lens filters 2 specific wavelengths of light that cause color confusion, delivering more detail through greater definition, more natural color and unmatched clarity
- 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
- 5-base curve cylindrical lenses have a slight wraparound fit
- Evolve frames are made from a bio-based polymer containing a minimum of 53% castor oil and offering the same performance and durability as nylon frames
- 2-position nosepads and Megol® temples supply a nonslip fit
- AutoLock hinges hold frames open for easy one-hand on and off
- Medium fit with extra-large coverage
- Includes a clear lens, performance case and microfiber bag that doubles as a lens cloth, keeping them protected in your pack without adding weight
- Smith eyewear is designed to integrate with Smith helmets for maximum comfort, venting, fog-free lenses and storage convenience (helmet not included)

Ride Slayers
Love these shades or rides, I use them mostly for mtb and road biking. They have a huge field of vision, a rad style and ventilation that helps me to shred without compromise.
Frame causes glare
Maybe these just didn't fit my face right, maybe I'm too used to my old glasses. Those caveats aside, I find the frame design left wanting. Primarily, in any white colorway, the frame is white all the way around the lens, including in the line of sight of the user. Especially mountain biking, I'm looking forward, then down, back and forth constantly and the glare from the white frame is incredibly distracting and fatiguing. Probably wouldn't be an issue in black, but it begs the question why these frames needed a full-frame design. I'm no engineer, but I hope Smith considers a half-frame design for future iterations.
The perfect mtb glasses!
I love the full coverage with full visibility and airflow combo! The clear lens is perfect for early mornings or late evening conditions on the trail, or anytime there’s heavy tree coverage. My original motivation for getting the Wildcat was to avoid the classic ‘bug in the eye’ on the downhill and it’s more than delivered. Fits perfectly with my Smith Engage mtb helmet. And the dark lens is just cool on and off the dirt. Highly recommend.
So far these are the best mountain biking glasses I’ve used
I love these glasses. I should have bought a second pair in black and white. Spent the week in Sedona and never had to worry about my eyes from sweat or dust. The red pensé was awesome all day and the clear was invisible I. The early AM. They fit perfect in my helmet like a great pair of goggles less the strap and foam. I would buy them again. Please make a something for smaller faces and I’ll buy a pair for my wife too.
Has some flaws
This was a warranty replacement purchase. I like the functionality of the frame, but Wildcat has two main problems and I expect to encounter them again with the replacement: The arms are fragile. My first pair had the arms snap at the hinge during regular storage in the backpack during a ski tour. With the style of these frames, it seems like the arm+hinge could be widened and strengthened. The arms contact the lenses. Over a few dozen tours and bike rides, my first pair had the inside of the lenses scratched by the ends of the arms. I like the style and size of Wildcat, but would not buy them again.
I am loving the wildcat
I am loving the wildcat glasses. They have such a comfortable fit on my face and stay put while I’m on the trail. These came with a clear lens- which is really nice for the days I just need protection against dust! It’s been hard trying to find something on and off the trail that hits every marker for me, but these are definitely it!
Good shades for outdoor thangs
LOVE. Clear lenses for mountain biking, dark lenses for touring- these shades do it all. Plus who doesn’t want to look like Cody Townsend haha. Sorry the photo is indoors, none of the outdoor pics looked good. But works for my small head and face as well as my husbands bigger head. Really a good piece of gear!
You wanna' look sharp? You
You wanna' look sharp? You wanna' go sharp? All that while having the best value on the market? Look no further! The Wildcats are in their natural habit when you need to stand out and drop the watts. Don't just follow the pack, stand out! Make yourself noticed, show your wild side!
Great looking glasses that are
Great looking glasses that are medium fit, yet still work for my large head. They integrate with the Forefront 2 helmet, but about 1cm of overhang. Not a big deal for non technical climbs. Lenses are not challenging to swap, just challenging to order (availability is always low).
They fit pretty well. Would
They fit pretty well. Would be nice if the nose piece was adjustable. I like how the base curve is not too dramatic; I get the large coverage area without the sunglasses touching my cheek or eye brow area. I'm using the sunglasses with a Bontrager Specter helmet and there isn't much clearance between the two, I would probably get a Smith helmet when it comes time for a replacement. I bought the photochromic lenses because I didn't want to switch lenses midride; turns dark fast but going back to clear takes a while. Optically they seem fine, don't know about durability yet.
