Matte Black/ChromaPop Gla

Smith

<p>For those long days where you beat the sun to the trail, get to watch the world wake up from above the treeline, cross a glacier in bright sun, bag the peak, then head back to start, these sunnies will protect your eyes from first light to when you’re starting to think about your headlamp. Outfitted with photochromic lenses, the Embark sunglasses evolve with your day, light under the trees, darker when the sun starts to really shine, and then fully dark, down to 7% visible light transmission – about half that of your average sunnies, for those dazzlingly bright snow fields. The lenses also use Smith’s clever ChromaPop technology, which offers exceptional clarity, high contrast, and colour optimization in challenging light conditions, throughout the entire photochromic range.</p><ul><li>Designed for medium faces and offer large coverage</li><li>Photochromic lenses transition from up to 45% light transmission, all the way down to 7% light transmission</li><li>ChromaPop lenses deliver exceptional clarity, high contrast, and dynamic colour optimization, making them great for challenging light conditions</li><li>Removable flexible TPU side shields help block glare coming in from odd angles</li><li>Evolve frame material is 53% plant based</li><li>Thin temples tuck easily under helmets</li><li>Hydrophilic megol nose pads and temple tips keep the glasses in place when things get wet</li><li>6-base curvature has a sporty wrap that offers great coverage</li><li>Includes a zippered hard case, microfibre bag, removable retainer strap, and removable side shields</li></ul>
