Smith Pursuit Sunglasses
In pursuit of the perfect vision solution for backcountry users, Smith created the Pursuit Sunglasses. A tall and wide lens with optional side shields and nose cover provides goggle-like protection from wind, sun, and snow without sacrificing breathability and airflow, which makes glasses desirable for high-effort activities. The adjustable arms and nosepiece allow you to customize the fit for comfort and stability, accommodating a wide variety of head shapes and sizes. Specialized screwless hinges hold the temple arms in place, increasing durability and reliability in the backcountry. For an extra secure fit, Smith includes a retaining strap fashioned after goggles, keeping the Pursuit in place even on the bumpiest descents. Most notably, Smith has built the glasses with their ChromaPop Glacier Photochromatic lens that darkens from Cat 1 to Cat 4 as the clouds part and the sun rises. This allows the Pursuit to adapt to a wide array of conditions while the ChromaPop technology filters light, giving you contrast in tricky lighting conditions. For days (or nights) when even Cat 1 is too dark, the Pursuit glasses come with an interchangeable transparent lens, saving you from needing to purchase a separate pair of glasses just to have a clear option. The Pursuit was purpose-built for the backcountry and is a reliable choice to bring along on your adventures.
