Color fades after minor usage
I purchased a pair of Guide’s Choice in the tortoise color way. After light usage these frames have begun to lose the paint all over. Warranty did not cover it, better off with a cheaper alternative.

Great glasses but fragile and bad Smith warranty
I loved these glasses. Great fit and really nice glass but the frame is extremely fragile. My frame broke on the lens portion frame as the result of a very small impact. Smith would not warranty the glasses. So beware of Smith’s warranty. These are expensive glasses that I expected Smith would standby their product.

Eagle River was epic
Great glasses. What a difference. And didn't trip or go swimming wading for the first time because I could easily see where I was walking. Epic.

Best sunglasses I've owned
These are fantastic sunglasses, and provide amazing clear views. The tint is just right to be dark enough on a bright day, but still wearable on an overcast day. Highly recommend these glasses to anyone looking for an amazing pair! And, the warranty can't be beat either.

This is second pair. First
This is second pair. First pair the SMITH emblem wore off in months. I’m assuming these will do the same. If so, I’ll send back for replacement until Smith gets it right.

Awesome Fishing Glasses
These are my favorite sunglasses I've ever used fly fishing. I got the tortoise with polarized green mirror and they are awesome for sight fishing and blocking light on bright sunny days. I also used these fly fishing in Alaska and most days were overcast and slightly rainy. Also worked great and would highly recommend them.

Guides Choice Chroma Pop Review
Comfy and lightweight, but poor lens quality. As a long time user of Costas, I decided to give smiths a chance. Had 2 pairs, and both of them slipped off my head, fell lens side down, and left scratches in the center of the lenses. I’ve had tons of glass lenses in my lifetime. I’ve seen them crack/shatter but never scratch… plastic lenses usually scratch. Was definitely hoping for better lens durability, so I’ll stick with Costas.

Glass lenses shatter easily
Nice glasses while they last, but for the money the glass levels shouldn't shatter so easily with a single fall on the floor. Not covered by warranty. Beware!

What a joke
These glasses are the worst! Such a high price for something so cheap. Cheap plastic. And the integrated detachable leash. It comes broken and unusable. I've used smith glasses for years. Time to move on. They obviously went cheap.

Just buy Costa.... you will not be disappointed.
10/10 would not recommend. Terrible product (cheap, non-durable, likely to come defective), And an even worse warranty service. Just buy Costas, save yourself the time and money on these horrible glasses and subpar company.
