5.0 out of 5 stars. Excellent SunglassesVerified Buyer Reviewed by Boston Bob from Massachusetts on Saturday, July 19, 2014Believe the reviews... these sunglasses are very high quality, and compete with Revo, Oakley or high end brands. The polarized Ignitor may be one of the best all-around lens there is for both bright and low light conditions. The frames aren't super high-end acetate, but acetate can be heavy and stiff, and these are comfortably light weight, but not flimsy.
Fit is definitely on the large side. -

5.0 out of 5 stars. Smith Optics Riverside SunglassesVerified Buyer Reviewed by Anonymous from Texas on Tuesday, May 13, 2014I really like these sunglasses. The fit is just right. I bought them to use for driving and they are very clear and I like the color adjustment which is not too great, but seems right for the situation.

1.0 out of 5 stars. Not what I expectedReviewed by flyrodn1 from Iowa on Wednesday, January 29, 2014I have been wearing Smith specs for years. Order pair for fishing trip, liked the fit but the glasses had scratched lenses and I believe they were worn and returned by someone else. I returned them as well and hopefully they will be sold as damaged goods.

4.0 out of 5 stars. Pretty solid - hinges feel a little cheapReviewed by Anonymous from austin on Sunday, November 17, 2013Lens on these are great - very crisp. Haven't really noticed the polarchromic effect much, which is probably good. Wouldn't want that feature drawing too much attention to itself.
Only potential weakness is that it feels like the hinges might not be the strongest. I've heard cracking sounds a couple times when I've unfolded them, and I worry about the longevity.
My face is pretty narrow, but they still fit reasonably well. The definitely would look better on a wider face, though. -
5.0 out of 5 stars. Great glasses.Reviewed by Bfisher from Texas on Tuesday, November 12, 2013I ordered these for fly fishing and these are a great choice. They fit well and are some of the clearest glasses that I have ever worn. They are a good weight.

5.0 out of 5 stars. great sunglassesReviewed by bjr from arizona on Sunday, November 10, 2013I am so glad I purchased these sunglasses. They fit great and don't slip while I am hiking. The polarchromic lenses are nice, my only complaint is I wish they would lighten and darken a bit more.
