Description

Where snow falls, you follow. On summit bids or high-speed descents, the Smith Venture sunglasses provide much-needed eye protection in alpine environments. They're our take on glacier glasses, with removable side shields that protect against light reflecting off snow, rock and ice. ChromaPop™, lens technology offers a terrain-boosting view of every wind drift and crevasse. Autolock hinges make for easy on and off when one of your hands is occupied with an ice axe or ski poles. And then there are the iconic round frames that look just as good glissading down a snowfield as relaxing post adventure.

Reviews

"Great product, fits well and I’ve never had so much control over light bleed on the sides. Its nice not having eye strain, and glasses that are polarized prescription lenses. It’s a game changer…"

alexander (5/5)

Excellent

"Can't heap enough praise on these. I needed a good pair of sunglasses for bike touring and general use, so I picked up a pair right before a trip to Thailand in February (sunny!). The side protection was something I never knew I was missing - I probably could have saved a few wrinkles over the years! The build and optics quality is fantastic, and I love that it came with an actually decent case."

KP (5/5)

"Been wearing these instead of my goggles with the spring conditions this winter season. Love the side skirts and nose bridge for added wind protection while skiing. Solid construction. Lenses are holding up well to the wear and tear."

John (5/5)

So great I bought two

"A lot of the times it’s hard to find a prescription lens that looks as good as it performs. Best part is that sides and nose bit come off easily so you can go for a more classic look around town and not be so technical looking. Smith makes some great sunglasses and even better work on their prescription. Just wish we got all the cool lenses from the regular frames"

Chocolate F. (5/5)

Pleased customer

"I’m seeing things in the stream that I couldn’t see with my clip-ons. My progressive lenses were not compatible with the guide sunglasses. The side shields work well to cut out glare. And the prescription is accurate."

The assistance from a Person

"The assistance from a Person was key to ordering the right frame, right lens and the correct Rx for the lenses. Great personal experience. Great sun glasses. Tom, age 82, fly fishing"

Bummed…

"Ordered a replacement pair of Venture RX and had the order confirmed. Then received an email saying due to high sales of that frame, my order could not be completed. Hope they are restocked soon…"
