The new Ocular Docking System (ODS) integrates perfectly with our PivLock sport glasses and with our Prophecy Turbo Fan goggle. Corrected fields of view for sun and snow sports are now easily interchangeable.

technology-polarization

It’s 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.

TECHLITE
Techlite Polarized Glass lenses produce clarity, optical precision, and comfort that surpass all expectations. By absolutely minimizing lens thickness to provide a 20% weight reduction over standard lenses, total frame weight rivals any sunglass on the market.

Created through a finishing process with controls maintaining 1/2000th of a millimeter tolerance, each lens is optically-corrected using Tapered Lens Technology. Utilizing a nine layer construction set up, all available light is managed to maximize clarity and eye comfort.

All Techlite Polarized Glass lenses utilize a multi-layer Anti-Reflective (AR) mirror coating to absorb back light effects. A permanent Oleophobic coating protects the lens and mirror coatings by repelling water, dirt, fingerprints, and grease.

THE HIDDEN SCIENCE BEHIND THE BEST LENSES YOUR EYES WILL EVER KNOW

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.
These polarized, variable tint lenses darken on exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Once the UV is removed (for example by walking indoors or having the sun drop behind the tree line), the variable tint lenses will return to their lighter tint state.
