Smith Riptide

The Smith Riptide is a unisex active lifestyle sunglasses built on Smith's Evolve bio-based frame — a lightweight, durable injected polymer with 53% bio-based content, manufactured in Italy. The frame features a 6-base lens curvature for a modest wraparound fit and medium to large head sizing with medium lens coverage. Spring hinges allow the temples to expand and self-adjust to the wearer's face, providing a snug fit during movement-intensive activities such as running and cycling. Lens options include ChromaPop Glass polarized (mineral glass with high scratch resistance), ChromaPop+ polarized (lighter polycarbonate), and ChromaPop Glass Polarchromic — a polarized photochromic glass lens that adapts tint to UV and ambient light conditions. All lens configurations include smudge and moisture-resistant coatings and an anti-reflective coating on the lens interior to reduce side-light reflections and eye strain. The Riptide is worn for running, cycling, water sports, fishing, and general outdoor daily use. ChromaPop technology filters two specific wavelengths of light that cause color confusion in the eye, improving color definition and contrast on trails, roads, and water. The glass lens option adds a higher level of scratch resistance compared to polycarbonate, making it particularly suited for users in abrasive environments or those who prefer mineral glass optics. Megol hydrophilic rubber on both the nose pads and temple tips increases grip as the wearer perspires, keeping the frame stable through activity. Each pair includes a protective hard case and a microfiber bag. Key Features:
