The Smith Wildcat Chromapop Sunglasses blend the coverage of ski goggles with the airflow of normal sunglasses to keep you comfier as you bike trails and roads. The lens is as innovative as the style is original, with Chromapop technology filtering out crossover colors to enhance contrast so the greens, reds, and blues really stand out. Chromapop also delivers greater definition, more natural coloration, and unmatched clarity. The hybrid frame combines durable TR90 with flexible TPU at the temples for a solid fit regardless of your face shape, and the nose pads are adjustable to stay secure.

I wanted to love these shades but they just weren’t wide enough. Unfortunately, If you have a big dome like me then these are not the glasses you’re looking for.

I wear contacts and if any wind gets behind the glasses they will dry out and I have to constantly blink to keep them moist. I don't have to worry about anything with these. I have used them skiing, road/mtn biking and running. Not only do I not have any unpleasantness/drying out with my contacts but they also never fog. Did a fair amount of backcountry skiing in them and never had them fog on the way up. Only gripe is I wish they came with the standard low light lense that most other Smith sunnies do instead of just clear.

Quite a disappointment as Smith cycling helmets are a quality product. Sunglass frames felt cheap and were squeaky. Silly pink arms look worse once they are in your hands. Returned

I wear these for MTBing all the time and love them. Other lenses are too small and let a lot of wind to still hit my eyes. These puppies are almost like a goggle for full eye protection from wind and any debris. The Chromapop is amazing for clarity and contrast. The fact that Smith throws in a clear lens for dusk riding is the icing on the cake!

Bought these to replace goggles most days while working on the mountain. They fit well under a helmet and provide good coverage on all but the deepest/stormiest days. For 6am morning starts, the clear lens is great for setting up the mountain and skiing before sunrise. You have to be skiing really, really fast for the wind to be an issue. They do not fog up like goggles when I'm sweating and hiking. Unless the snow is overhead, or temps are below 20 degrees I wear them almost every day. Wish they had a polarized lens for fishing in summer.

Great design with a nice fit and durable material. Great lenses with a nice wider design that some people need. Love them so far!

These are the first glasses that have slightly eroded my Oakley-loyalty. The lens quality is excellent, the fit is sublime, and Smith finally got the message that the large-faced among us need a proportionate set of shades. I've always been impressed with Smith from a performance and value standpoint, but their aesthetic was a little.... over-understated? The Wildcats have turned that around for me. As an additional shot across the bow at Oakley, Smith also throws in a secondary lens. More updates will follow!
