Smith Sun Glasses - A Great Choice for Extreme Sports
Smith

of Smith sun glasses, is based in Sun Valley, Idaho.
It was
founded in 1965 with the
creation of the
first-ever
Smith Interchange

goggle featuring a sealed thermal lens and
breathable vent foam.
Doctor Bob Smith, Smith's founder and a
practicing orthodontist, started by developing hand-made
goggles at
his kitchen table. His product innovation and focus on the
market niche sparked demand, and production manufacturing began in the
late 60's.
Smith also makes Action
Optics sunglasses, specifically
tailored for water-based sports.
Smith sun glasses have since gone on to set the standard for
high performance eyewear and goggles. Some of Smith's notable
innovations include the Fog-X anti-fog coating, Perforated Membrane
Technology lens ventilation system, patented Turbo Constant Air
Management system, patented regulator adjustable lens ventilation
system, patented Roll Off's film advance system for motocross, patented
Ocular Docking System prescription insert, and patented Slider series

Techlite lenses are extremely lightweight. To achieve this
desirable feature, Smith uses the highest quality borosilicate glass
ground and polished to specs by precision machinery. Then each lens is
chemically tempered in a nitrate bath for increased shatter resistance.
In addition each lens features Tapered Lens Technology.
The
result is a lens that has the highest optical clarity and scratch
resistance of any lens material available. It's also significantly
lighter than a standard glass lens.
Smith sun glasses
proprietary Tapered Lens Technology corrects the distortion inherent
in lens curves by progressively tapering the lens toward the
outer
edge. The result: refraction correction; optical precision;
and
zero
distortion.
