Smith

Wildcat ChromaPop Sunglasses

Really disappointed

Used them for riding for 2 years and the hinge broke when my wife was taking them off. No impact or damage, just a clean break. They denied the warranty. The warranty and reputation is why we spent twice as much as other glasses like this. Definitely wouldn’t recommend

Lens Cracked Within a Year

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

The lens cracked within a year. Smith will deny the warranty claim, saying you must have misused it. All I did was wear them while cycling, gently clean them, and then store them in the case until I would need them again. At no point were they misused or damaged due to an accident. The crack happened from normal wear and tear.

Far better options for the price

Poor fit and mediocre lens compared to similarly priced brands. I tried to get used to these for about two months before ditching them for Oakley Sutros. The Wildcat frames are definitely in my peripheral view for biking and the upper lens will touch my eyebrows leaving a nice smudge every time I wear them. The frames also did not fit under my Smith brand helmet. They helped block the wind a little bit but did not prevent my eyes from watering. My first ride with the Sutros I forgot I had them on they were so comfortable, my eyes did not water, and their Prizm lens tech is far superior, no comparison.

Perfect for Triathlons

I’ve been training in these both bike and running. And wore them through my bike and run in my last Triathlon. Didn’t move an inch, light weight, comfortable and have a wide visibility range. Highly recommend.

Smith Wildcat will fail you.

The arm of my wildcats snapped when using them as designed with a Smith bike helmet. I contacted Smith to ask for a warranty/repair/replacement. They refused and accused me of misuse. Smith; your products are breaking when used as designed and your lifetime warranty is a joke. i’m a long term Smith customer and professional outdoor professional and advise anyone reading this to look elsewhere.

Do not buy. Not durable, broke within few weeks of use during normal and expected wear.

I am very active with a variety of sports and have been using different kinds of sunglasses over the years. The Wildcats were the first pair that ever snapped without major impact or misuse. I pulled them out of my pocket and they had snapped while walking up a green trail. They haven't been used for two months. Warranty doesn't cover 'accidental' breakage or 'abuse' - so be aware when abusing your sunnies by putting them in your pocket while walking up a green trail. I have had many sunglasses, included cheap ones, that survived a lot harsher use than these Wildcats. Smith may have been good quality once upon a time, but these did not even meet my expectations I have for a pair of cheap sunglasses. Buyer beware - Do not recommend.

Great glasses for ski touring and biking.

Great glasses for ski touring and biking! I only wish you could customize the lens and frame so you can get the lens combination with the frame you like the most but besides that excellent.

Comfortable, well-ventilated, with excellent lenses.
