Product Review – Smith Docksides
Smith Docksides’ design is optimized to virtually eliminate distracting glare both in front and behind the lens. Crafted in Italy, the large eye wire and wide temples maximize coverage and eliminate side glare, while spring hinges act to provide a perfect fit every time.
Designed around the largest ChromaPop lenses available, the unmatched clarity and enhanced color are perfect for spotting red drum on the flats or blocking 100% of the harmful UV rays on your beach day on a sand bar island.
Through the proprietary ChromaPop lens technology, Smith helps you see detail and color beyond normal capabilities.
ChromaPop filters two specific wavelengths of light that cause color confusion. Normally the eye’s retina has trouble distinguishing between blue/green and red/green light perception. ChromaPop filters these specific crossovers, allowing greater definition, more natural color, and unmatched clarity to allow you to see more detail.
Smith Docksides are available in black, havana, howler matte tortoise, and matte black frame options. Utilizing ChromaPop and ChromaPop+, the lenses are offered in platinum, blue mirror, bronze, polarchromic ignitor, and brown.
In addition to the ChromaPop benefits, the polarchromic option combines the glare-free benefits of advanced polarization with UV sensitive, self-tint-adjusting photochromic technology to bring you lenses that adapt to changing light conditions, so you always have the perfect tint for the amount of light.
Other benefits of Smith Docksides are anti-reflective and hydroleophobic lens coatings that resist water and oil. Out of sight spring hinges and a lifetime warranty round out the ultimate pair of sunglasses.
Smith Docksides are priced from $169 to $219, and more information can be found on their website at www.smithoptics.com.
