Happy
The primary reason I bought these sunglasses is to wear mountain biking-in and out of the shade and sun. They work perfectly for these transitions! I find that I now wear them trail running for the same reason. I got rose gold lens and would recommend them. The Bobcat frame fits my small face and doesn't sit on my high cheek bones! The earpieces is much shorter than any glasses I have own so far. The frame does seem a bit fragile so I can see why other reviews had them break. I plan to baby them as much as I can. W

I’m incredibly grateful to be part of the Smith Optics Pro Program and wanted to share my experience with the Bobcat sunglasses featuring the ChromaPop Glacier Photochromic Copper Blue Mirror lenses. As someone with eye sensitivities and a smaller face shape, finding high-quality eyewear that fits comfortably can be a challenge. The Bobcats have truly exceeded my expectations—they’re lightweight, stay securely in place, feature an adjustable nose piece, and the lens clarity is exceptional. The way they adapt to changing light conditions is seamless. I’m honored to represent a brand that values both performance and design excellence. Thank you, Smith Optics! P. s. You know you made a great product, when your boyfriend decides he needs to try out your brand new glasses :laughing:
Won’t repair
I loved my smith glasses so much, wore them every day for regular wear as well as skiing, biking, paddling, hiking, trail running. When the arm recently broke when I fell while biking Smith would not fix nor send a replacement piece, so I can no longer wear them. I’d love to have another pair of these amazing glasses but I don’t feel comfortable supporting a company that won’t stand behind its customers who use and promote their products to friends and family.
Frame Easily Broken
Ugh I wanted to love these so badly! I’ve had two pairs now and both have broken at the hinge/temple in the SAME spot after only one or two months of light use while being in the bag smith gives you. First pair I wrote off as a fluke but the second pair breaking in the same exact way made me file the warranty. Such a bummer. Need to be sturdier. Otherwise good lenses, I might opt for a different frame style though.
My Favorite Sunglasses!
I love the small/medium fit! I’ve struggled to find sunglasses that actually fit my face, and these check every box. The photochromic lens makes them my go-to glasses for skiing and alpine climbing. Larger frames tend to slip off my face and feel bulky under a helmet, but these stay put and feel great all day. They offer excellent visibility and protection while still being lightweight and comfortable.
Color Misrepresented in Photos
The Bobcat glasses are great. They fit well and stay on my face in all kinds of movement. I'm not excited about the copper blue mirror color that I received. It looks nothing like the pictures online. If you're okay with your copper actually looking violet instead, then the glasses are great.
I have a tiny head, i usually wear youth hats and glasses, visually these fit a bit wide for my face but dont look out of place. The fit is very secure, not going to fall off doing activities. Im very very pleased. If you have a narrow / smaller head, these are for you.
Solid pair of sunglasses
I've only worn them a couple of times, but they're comfortable and are good for seeing in areas where there is a mix of sun and shade. I gave them four stars because the lenses seem a little cumbersome to change. Also, they don't store easily on my helmet (2021 Smith).
Photochromique décevant
La lentille photochromique est vraiment décevante. Ne fonctionne pas du tout l’hiver (?). Aussitôt que je sors à l’extérieur elle devient au plus foncé même si l’éclairage est faible. Je croyais pouvoir utiliser la même lentille dans plusieurs conditions.
The perfect sunglasses
My only regret is not buying these sooner! They stay on my face, block the sun from coming in the sides, chromopop adjusts as needed and they are stylish and reliable for biking, skiing, and running.
