Smith

Wildcat ChromaPop Sunglasses

Not durable

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Glasses are fragile and break easily at hinge/temple piece. Smith does not offer replacement pieces which means you have to buy new glasses…

Great glasses!

I've used it several times

I bought the glasses about a month ago and super glad I did. I was going to get a Tifosi pair but ended up buying these due to the reviews about the comfort. I hardly notice these are on my head! They are super lightweight. Provide great protection with the oversized lenses and they breathe super well. I have not used the adjustable nose piece as the fit seems great as is. I was a little concerned the first time I changed the lenses that I might break something, but now that I've done it a few times, they pop in and out very easily. The carrying case is fantastic and overall I couldn't be happier! If I had one thing I would add is I wish Smith made available for purchase a photo chromatic lense for these frames

These are exactly what I

These are exactly what I was looking for. I wish the lenses could be switched out quicker and hopefully that will be an option in the future. They look great and provide excellent coverage.

Lens Cracked Within a Year

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.

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.

Super Rad!

I have a big head and these are comfortable. On the bike they do exactly what they're supposed to. Chromapop is the bomb. Terrain contours are easily delineated. Changing lenses is easy. The wildchilds look red on three screen but are actually pink and purple. They live up too their name. So comfortable i wear them as my daily glasses. Just ordered some soundtracks so that might change though.

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.

best glasses i ever had!

best glasses i ever had! Good fit, lots of options

Faulty and not durable

I have had the wildcat lenses for a month or so. I work as a ski patroller and ordered these because I sweat a lot during work. They are not durable glasses to say the least. When I pulled them out of my pocket and put them on they fell off because it snapped. I don’t know if it was because I wear them all of the time or if it was because it was freezing temperatures. Regardless the product was defective. This company does not honor their product or the professional first responders in the outdoor industry. And just for the record I am very OCD and cautious about all of my goggles, sunglasses and lenses. These do not hold up.

Disappointed

The Smith Wildcat sunglasses have great performance features, for example the chromopop lenses are awesome. However I was very disappointed with the durability. One of the arms broke right at the pivot on one side after barely three months of use. I can't help but feel like these were designed to look cool rather than to perform to outdoor professional standards. Had I known the life I would get out of them, I would have gone to grab two or three pairs of cheap glasses.
