Sunglasses
How do I clean my Smith sunglasses?
Do not use any paper products, including kleenex. First, blow any dust or grit off the sunglasses and rinse under running water before wiping. (Do not use any other liquids on your Smith sunglasses.) Gently wipe the lenses with a soft micro fiber cloth, such as the Smith Smudgebuster.
What is the benefit to the Tapered Lens Technology (TLT Optics) found in all Smith models?
Visual distortion occurs when light waves hit an aggressively-curved lens causing it to bend or distort an objects true size or position. Imagine looking through a fish eye lens. What your eye normally sees, is stretched beyond reality. Get the picture? Tapered Lens Technology corrects the distortion by progressively tapering the lens from the optical center towards the outer edges. Light waves are thereby delivered straight to your eye resulting in zero distortion and true optical clarity. What you see is what you get.
What is polarization?
Polarization is like noise-canceling headphones for your eyes. Glare off of horizontal surfaces like snow, water, and asphalt, decreases depth perception, reduces visual acuity, and causes eye fatigue. We precisely align the polarized visual layer inside our lenses to filter out 99.9% of this "visual static" for a finely tuned view of the action.
How does a polarized lens reduce glare?
Smith's polarized lenses utilize energized iodine crystals that are positioned in vertical rows on a thin piece of film and provide the protection you need. This film is sandwiched between two layers of lens material or injection-molded material to create a molecular bond. The filter within the lens allows selected light rays to reach the eye while absorbing reflected glare or polarized light. When a polarizing film or filter is properly positioned in front of reflected light rays, the glare is blocked.
How are Smith's polarized lenses constructed?
Smith's polarized lenses are constructed of a sheet of film that is sandwiched between two pieces of lens material. We then add layers of anti-scratch protection, multi-layer mirror coating, and a hydrophobic coating that will repel water and moisture. The PVA film molecule alignment is such that it allows only vertical light waves to pass through the lens (somewhat like a venetian blind), thus eliminating glare. Cheap polarized lenses do not use these materials and can cause distortion in your vision, which may eventually lead to headaches.
How can I tell if my sunglass lens is polarized?
The easiest way to check the polarization of a lens is by holding the lens you are inquiring about over the top of a lens that you know is polarized. A liquid crystal display (LCD) or digital watch is polarized. Hold the lens over the watch on a horizontal plane and rotate it. If the lens is polarized, you will notice the watch display appears darker as you rotate the lens above it. If the lens is not polarized, there will be no visual difference as you view the watch through the lens.
Do you have polarized lenses for the Sliders?
Yes. Smith Optics offers Polarized Bronze Mirror, Polarized Platinum Mirror, Platinum Mirror, Polarized Sienna Brown, and Polarized True Color Gray lenses for all of the current Interchangeable models. Check out our Replacement Lenses for your model.
What is the difference between Sienna Brown and True Color Gray polarized lenses?
Sienna Brown polarized lenses, while minimizing glare, increase contrast and depth perception. Sienna Brown polarized lenses are ideal in flat light or low light to enhance shadows and add contrast between reds, oranges and yellows. True Color Gray polarized lenses minimize glare while enhancing natural hues. True Color Gray may seem more soothing to the eyes and are recommended when consumers ask for the darkest polarized lens available. Read about all of our lens tints in our technology section.
What is polarchromic?
The glare stopping benefits of polarization meet tint shifting photochromic magic in the most advanced lenses we have ever created. Versatile and comfortable, Smith Polarchromic lenses automatically darken or lighten as a response to the level of light you are exposed to.
How are carbonic lenses different from other lenses?
Carbonic lenses are engineered to be the most impact resistant lens material in the world. Injection molded with Tapered Lens Technology for optical precision and a high level of protection.
How does the hydrophobic coating on your Smith sunglasses help?
The hydrophobic coating repels moisture, grease, and grime. A barrier between your lenses and the world. Water will bead up and disperse without streaking. Smudges from fingerprints are wiped clean easily.
How do Smith's Interlock frames work?
Twist. Remove. Replace. It really is that simple. Interlock is the most intuitive and easy-to-use interchangeable sunglass lens system period. All it takes to engage our patented lens exchange system is a twist of the temple. Then, replace the lens with an alternate lens tint and twist the temple to close. That's it.
What is Smith Techlite Glass?
Our Techlite Glass Polarized lenses deliver the highest level of visual clarity and scratch resistance with distortion-free performance.
What does CR39 mean?
CR39 is a lightweight advanced polymer that has a high abrasion and scratch resistance. Fashion forward colorations and gradient fades compliment excellent optical clarity.

All lenses are Carbonic and equipped with Tapered Lens Technology and 100% UV protection. Select Street and Lifestyle Series models can accept prescription lenses.
Will Smith convert my sunglasses to prescription lenses?
Once you have purchased a pair of sunglasses we will not be able to insert prescription lenses unless they are part of our Interchangeable Rx series. In order to ensure the highest product quality, we must start with a frame that has never had lenses installed. Some opticians will provide this service if your prescription is between +1.00 to -2.50 and they have the technical capability to use highly wrapped 8 base lenses. The best long-term option is to start with a brand new pair to ensure correct optical correction and durability.

Adding these precious metals to your portfolio will, most certainly, improve your stock and up your game. We use classic silhouettes fused with modern design and lens technology. All sculptural elements are expertly cast into durable lightweight alloys.
What is a hydrophilic megol?
Placed at the nose and on the temple tips, this material gently grips your skin to help keep your frame in place. The gripping power increases when introduced to moisture.
What base curves do Smith sunglasses use?
The base curve is the radius of the sphere measured from the back of the lens. Smith features styles with 6, 8, and 9 base lens curvature. Models that include 6 base tend to be more flat relative to your face front. While 9 base styles provide the maximum amount of wrap around your face.

Motorsport Goggles
What are Racer Packs?
The Racer Pack option offers Smith's Roll Offs system pre-installed on select goggles. Racer Packs include two rolls of film and a Roll Offs visor. All Intake Sweat-X and Fuel Sweat-X Racer Packs come complete with an XCL lens installed. Specialized raised dot matrix helps create an anti-stick surface to enhance film advancement in even the worst conditions.
What are Roll Offs?
Dust, mud, and rain don't stand a chance against our patented Roll Offs system. For two decades and counting, we have been the industry leader in Roll Offs technology. A simple pull of the string and our system advances the film for a clear, clean view. Each roll of film provides 25-35 clear views. Combine with Smith's XCL lens to ensure stick-free vision in even the worst conditions.
Sometimes in humid or wet conditions, my Roll Off film will stick to the lens and I cannot advance the film. How do I keep the film from sticking to the lens?
In some cases, when conditions are very humid or when riding in extreme wet weather, there is the possibility of moisture entering underneath the Roll Off film. Smith has developed the XCL - Xtreme Condition Lens where a series of ultrasonically welded dots are aligned vertically and horizontally outside the viewing area to eliminate surface friction during wet and muddy conditions. XCLs can be found in the Roll Offs Replacement Lens section in the product section.

What makes an AFC lens better than others?
Anti-Fog Coating lens (AFC) stops fog before it starts. Smith's Fog-X coating creates a hydrophilic coating that permanently bonds to the inside of the lens to absorb moisture before fog can form.
What is the Air Intake System?
Traditional goggle venting provides a regulated supply of air through the goggle; when you slow down airflow decreases, increasing the potential for fogging. Smith's revolutionary Intake fairings allow the user to increase airflow at these slow speeds by opening the fairings and direction air into the chamber of the goggle. On-demand airflow is now in your hands.

What if my Smith strap is not long enough for my helmet?
Smith sells the Helmet Helper, an attachment that lengthens the clip buckle strap for helmet compatibility.
Do Smith Goggle lenses use TLT?
Yes. All Smith Goggles use Tapered Lens Technology (TLT) to give you distortion free vision. Objects in lens are exactly the same as they appear. When light passes through a medium it refracts, I.e. changes course. What this means for you is that you see with 100% accuracy and maximum comfort.
Which Smith goggles are compatible with eyeglasses?
Smith offers many goggles with enlarged lens chambers that easily fit over most eyeglasses. In addition, they are built with performance face foam with a split v nose to eliminate eyeglass temple pressure. Check out the Knowledge OTG Turbo Fan, Knowledge OTG Regulator, Monashee OTG, and the Cariboo OTG.
What ANSI rating do Smith goggles have?
Smith goggles exceed the ANSI Z87.1 standard to ensure the protection that you need.
What does PMT mean?
PMT or Perforated Membrane Technology ventilates the goggle and allows moist air to escape from within the goggle.
What is the Turbo Fan?
Patented micro-electronic fan in the Turbo Fan Series. Turn the fan on when you get to the hill and in the low setting, the Turbo Fan system will run continuously all day long to exhaust moisture from inside the goggle. The high setting can be used to quickly exhaust moisture in extreme conditions. On the low setting the Turbo Fan system can run continuously for up to 50 hours on one AAA battery.
How do you change the Turbo Fan batteries?
Tests were conducted in extreme conditions and the Turbo Fan fan (with fresh AAA batteries) ran at least 50 hours. (The fan uses very little power - as long as you remember to turn it off before you go to bed.)
Which Smith goggle is best for smaller faces?
The Anthem Spherical and Transit Regulator are the best small fit goggles for adults. In addition to our high-end Spherical and Regulator models for adults we also have a line of Junior frames to fit the groms.

Yes. The Heiress and the Anthem are both goggle frames with a Women's Specific Fit. They are anatomically engineered to work in unison with female facial features.
What is the Regulator Ventilation System?
The Regulator goggle has an adjustable ventilation system to control circulation. A sliding bar allows you to increase or reduce airflow during changing weather conditions. This is an ideal system for demanding skiers and contact lens wearers.
What is the Airflow Ventilation System?
Featured in our Airflow and select Junior Series models, our Airflow lens technology features vents in the brow of the lens that increase the circulation of fresh air to keep the inner lens dry and fog-free. A semi-porous foam filter is positioned behind the vents to prevent snow and moisture from infiltrating the goggle chamber.
Which Smith goggle is suited for helmets?
Smith offers many helmet compatible goggles, such as the I/O, Phenom, Prodigy, Heiress, Anthem, Fuse, Scope, Transit, Cascade, Monashee, Cariboo, Gambler, Sundance, and all Turbo Fans
Do you have polarized lenses for Smith goggles?
Yes we do. Our Polarized Rose Copper lens is available in Black and Graphite in the Phenom, Prodigy and Anthem and is also available as a replacement lens.
How do I clean my goggle lenses?
Do not use any paper products, including Kleenex. Breathe on the outside lens to create moisture and try not to use any other liquids. Clean the outside with a soft micro fiber cloth such as Smith's Smudgebuster. Smith also provides Cleaning Kits and Fog Master Kits that will take care of any lens job.
How do I control fogging of my Smith goggle lenses?
This comes down to the basics. Make sure your goggles form a tight seal on your face. Make sure to store them in a dry, warm, well ventilated area so they are sufficiently dried out after each use. Take proper care using lens cleaning kits and the Smith Snow Eraser & the Smith Smudgebuster.
What is the Fog-X coating?
This is a hydrophilic chemical treatment that creates a micro-etched surface on the inner lens to absorb moisture before fog can form. Because Fog-X is a treatment that is actually burned into the lens, it can't be wiped away like other anti-fog coatings.
What is that little filter in the corner of my Smith Goggle Lens?
This tiny filter is a revolutionary, micro-porous filter called Porex. Its composition is structured such that air molecules may pass through the filter while water molecules cannot. By utilizing this filter, the thermal lens is allowed to adjust to varying altitudes while preventing moisture from entering the space between the lenses. This is the world's strongest thermal lens barrier.
What is a Flexible Urethane Frame?
Smith uses a unique Urethane compound, which allows the frame to conform to individual facial features while maintaining its flexibility in extreme cold temperatures.
Why is the goggle strap connected to an outrigger?
A key element in goggle/helmet compatibility is this outrigger. The outriggers have been strategically positioned on the frame and engineered to transfer pressure evenly across the brow and nose for a complete seal. When used with a helmet, the strap articulation provides a comfortable and consistent goggle fit.
Do Smith Goggles use carbonic material?
Yes. Smith has set the standard in lens performance. All Turbo Fan, Spherical, and Regulator Series lenses feature a Carbonic-X outer lens. Each one is individually molded to offer optimum scratch and impact resistance, increased visual acuity and enhanced contrast sensitivity. The inner lens is impregnated with our Fog-X lens treatment for increased anti-fog performance. The Carbonic-X lens meets Class 1 optical standards as well as ANSI Z80.3 standards. There is simply no better lens.

What technology does Smith use for Helmet Ventilation?
Smith uses the AirEvac 2, AirEvac, the Regulator, & Airflow. AirEvac 2 maximizes goggle and helmet integration to alleviate goggle fogging and increased ventilation by allowing fog-causing moist air to evacuate from the goggle and helmet by channeling air across the user's head to exhaust it at the rear. Smith AirEvac chimney vents and under-shell vent channels actively pull hot air out of user's goggles to prevent fogging and increase ventilation. Adjustable, easy to use and extremely effective, our Regulator ventilation system allows you to control the amount of airflow and heat exhaust even with a gloved hand. You’ll thank us later. Airflow ventilation utilizes waterproof vent plugs for easy climate control in all conditions. Removal of vent plugs allows maximum airflow and heat exhaustion in warm temperatures. Installed vent plugs create a warm, dry seal from all mother nature can throw at you.
How do Smith's helmets create airflow?
Smith's Airflow ventilation utilizes waterproof vent plugs for easy climate control in all conditions. Removal of vent plugs allows maximum airflow and heat exhaustion in warm temperatures. Installed vent plugs create a warm, dry seal from all mother nature can throw at you.
How do Smith's AirEvac 2 and AirEvac technologies help with ventilation?
AirEvac 2 utilizes shell vents as well as internal EPS channels to increase airflow ane evacuate warm, moist air to prevent goggle fogging. Cool, dry air is consistently pulled into the goggle as the warm, most air is exhausted over the wearer's head and out the rear of the helmet. AirEvac uses a system of shell vents and under-shell EPS channels to actively pull warm, moist air out of the user's goggles and exhaust it out of the helmet to prevent fogging.

Sunglasses Prescription Technology
What is O.D. & O.S.?
O.D. simply means right eye. It is the short form of the latin term oculus dextrus. O.S. simply means left eye. It is the short form of the latin term oculus sinister.
What is Sphere?
The number under the heading sphere is the main part of your prescription. The number itself denotes the strength of the lens as measured in diopters. A diopter is a unit of measurement that is simply the inverse of the focal distance of the lens as measured in meters. For example, if a lens has a strength of 2 diopters, then parallel light rays that pass through this lens will focus together at a distance of 1/2 meter (50 cm) away from the lens. The SMITH Spazio prescription program is available for sphere measurements from +2.00 to -5.00 diopters.
What is Cylinder?
If there is no value under the cylinder heading, then you have a very simple prescription. If there is a value under this heading, then you have astigmatism. Like sphere power, the cylinder power is also measured in diopters. The SMITH Spazio prescription program is available for cylinder measurements from +2.00 to -2.00 diopters.
What is Axis?
As mentioned above, a special cylindrical lens is needed in order to correct astigmatism. Not only does the strength of the cylindrical lens need to be specified, but the lens itself must be rotated into a specific position in order to provide the proper vision correction. The axis represents the amount of rotation of the cylindrical lens in degrees ranging from 1 to 180.
What is Prism?
This is a box on the prescription form that is rarely filled in. Occasionally, when the two eyes are not properly aligned and looking directly at the same thing, prism can be ground into the lenses in order to re-align them. This can occur with strabismus (an eye turn) or in situations where the eyes are properly aligned but are under a tremendous amount of strain in order to keep them aligned. The value under the prism heading denotes the strength of the prism.
What is Add / Progressive Lenses?
If there is a value under the add heading, then you have a bifocal (or Progressive) prescription. At this time, SMITH Spazio prescription lenses cannot be created with a progressive prescription. The engineers are hard at work and we will update as soon as their results are favorable.
What is Pupillary Distance (PD)?
The distance between the center of your pupils is known as the pupillary distance, or PD. Before your prescription lenses are cut, the pupillary distance needs to be measured. This measurement is then used so that the optical center of each lens can be lined up with your pupils in order to give optimal visual clarity.
