Description

There's a time and a place to sweat the details. Designing the Riptide, we did just that. These Smith sunglasses are a classic, with bio-based frames and spring hinges that expand the fit at the temples. The extra flex is not only more comfortable, but feels snug through runs and bike rides. These glasses come in two lens options, each with glare-cutting polarization. ChromaPop™ lenses boost detail, color and clarity while ChromaPop™ Glass has the added benefit of high scratch resistance.

Wanted to try the Chromopop lense and they are great! The clarity and colors are exceptional. They are definitely a game changer and really helped my vision problems.

Seth P

Great look, fit and quality

Steven M

All smith sunglasses are great

Pat W

Put these things on and the quality is unmatched! Didn’t even feel like I had glasses on

Jeremy N

I have two dozen Smith sunglasses. If ever I order from another company, I'm always disappointed with the lenses. The lenses on these are great (went with glass). The frame on these, at first, might seem a little weak given the thickness, but they actually feel pretty sturdy. They fit great. One issue I have with Smith in general is that they don't have many options that fit well on larger heads/faces.

Merritt F

I got the riptide with the glass lenses. They are much lighter than I was thinking they'd be, after reading some reviews. I got the matte Crystal frames. Love the whole package. They look awesome and are awesome to look through.

Mick T

Awesome product for use every day on and off the water!

Jack G

The Ripfide sunglasses are one of my “go-tos”. They are incredibly light, making them comfortable to wear during long days on the water.

Turner F

Great glasses, are perfect for everyday life and amazingly clear for those bright cloudy days.

Martin O

Je les adore

Adam G

One of the lenses is delaminating. Otherwise, I love the pro program and the glasses

David G

I got these with the green mirror glass lenses, and I really enjoy them. The world looks great through them, lots of contrast, not real dark and vision through them seems "crisp" (for lack of a better word) compared to my old ray bans with carbon-based lenes. These will warm up colors with a nice amber hue. I have a slightly small face and small head, and these work pretty good for me. They are a wee bit big, but they won't fall off and don't look silly. The size actually enhances the coverage for me personally, with the subtle wrap, I get less glare from the sides. The medium size frame they label them I think is accurate. The little rubber bits on the nose and temples are a great touch to keep them secure, love that.

Alex B

Nice Glasses. They are a warranty replacement for another pair I had previously, would have been nice if the total cost was covered but not the end of the world

Tim H

Comfortable fit and not too bulky. Very stylish too. Good coverage around the eyes Would definitely buy again

Casey M

My first pair of Riptides is getting worn out, one arm is slightly bent being held together by some packing tape. Decided to splurge on a second pair in case my OG's happen to break. My older pair feels more sturdy/well made but I still love the classic style that rings true still in my new pair. My only gripe is that I wish the arms were a bit more sturdy but heck I still love them!

Oscar J

Bought a pair of riptides for a fishing trip. I have always used costa Del Mar but was frustrated paying 30 dollars for nose pads. The riptides are light weight and do an excellent job helping you spot fish. After 4 hours on the water I did feel some fatigue behind my ear but a readjustment fixed the issue. I wear these daily while my costas collect dust.

Scott M

The Riptide glasses are high quality and the fit is true to size. I definitely recommend these glasses to people who are outdoor enthusiast.

Mark B

Great glasses love the lens.

Alright, let me tell you about my love affair with the Smith Riptide sunglasses. These bad boys are like the James Bond of eyewear—sleek, stylish, and ready to save the day from pesky UV rays. I snagged a pair, and let me just say, they fit my face like a glove fits a hand that’s been to the gym but still loves pizza. First off, the ChromaPop™ lenses are basically wizardry. They make colors pop like I’m living in a Pixar movie, and the glare-cutting polarization is so good I could stare at a lake on a sunny day and not squint like I’m trying to solve a math problem in my head. Plus, they’re scratch-resistant, which is great because I have the coordination of a drunk giraffe and tend to drop things. The Italian-made bio-based frames? Oh, they’re lighter than my excuses for skipping leg day, and the spring hinges hug my head like a clingy koala. I’ve worn these while biking, running, and pretending I know how to fish, and they stay put thanks to those Megol nose pads—grippy little heroes that laugh in the face of sweat. Now, I’ve read some folks whining about smudges on the lenses, but come on, Karen, it’s sunglasses, not a self-cleaning spaceship. A quick wipe with the included microfiber pouch, and they’re clearer than my grandma’s crystal ball. At $205-$255, they’re not cheap, but neither is looking this cool while dodging sunburned eyeballs. In short, the Smith Riptides are the best thing to happen to my face since I grew this questionable mustache. If you want shades that make you feel like a rockstar while keeping your vision sharper than a stand-up comedian’s wit, these are the ones. Five stars, Smith. You nailed it.

James K

Love the fit and style.

Derek C

Love the sleek look with gold tinted lenses. Full coverage of the eyes cuts down on the sun coming in from the sides. Light weight is a nice quality to have when on the water all day.

kelly W

Love them!

Jack G

Fits well. Extremely good optics.

Robert S

Had a pair of SMITH ANDROS ( my favourite sunglasses) that broke. SMITH doesn’t offer repair services…pity. This forced me to buy some new glasses…. RIPTIDE

Michael H

All the information I needed was easy to find

Blaine L

Good quality glasses. They claim to be a medium/large fit. The coverage of the lenses are great and good clarity. My only gripe is the nose piece is narrow for a medium/large fit.

Michael S

Great glasses. Fit great. Lightweight. I’d like them a little darker but overall would definitely recommend

John M

I’m very satisfied with the performance and fit. I use them for everyday wear and for fishing. I recommend them for anyone looking for a pair of sunglasses for everyday use.

Ernest S

All good on the protection . . fit . . . performance. Only wish would be for a case instead of just the bag

samuel p

Crystal-clear vision, perfect fit, and awesome style. These Riptide sunglasses are worth every dollar.
