Guide's Choice Sunglasses

Blue/Yellow glass

Bought the new glass blue/yellow lens. Very disappointing. Thought they would be more on the blue side but they are completely yellow. A yellow lens with a vlt of 11-23 makes absolutely no sense. You are basically just enhancing the sun and not letting enough light in on cloudy days. Going to send them back.

I can wear them all

I can wear them all day long!

High quality through and through.

I've put it through the wringer

In my opinion the frames are a bit narrow for a larger man with wider face, but the materials and quality is great, no question about it. Glass quality is a step up from lower proved Smith options and the integrated lanyard work great.

No Joakleys EVER again for me! Glass is amazing!

I have the ChromaPop™ Glass Polarchromic Brown Green Mirror, and they're the best shades I've ever had. Extremely impressed with the scratch resistance. I wear them fishing and at work as a crane rigger and months later they're still mint. The variable light transmission works well and is not a gimmick. I'll never go back to joakleys, I'd have scratches in the first week and they don't offer near the optical clarity of these glass lenses. Comfortable fit with the springy arms, and minuscule peripheral blindspot, and no unwanted light from the back or sides with the wrap around shape. Very impressed.

Sight fishing readers

Love my new Smith Guides Choice Readers. I’ve been a professional tournament fisherman for 45 years and started with Fister Grants back in the 70’s then many years with the big CDM competition with a sponsorship. I only wish you’d offer a green outer with amber lens with the readers in the Guide’s choice. Great glasses only subtracted a star due to lack of choices with the readers.

Color fades after minor usage

I purchased a pair of Guide’s Choice in the tortoise color way. After light usage these frames have begun to lose the paint all over. Warranty did not cover it, better off with a cheaper alternative.

Great glasses but fragile and bad Smith warranty

I loved these glasses. Great fit and really nice glass but the frame is extremely fragile. My frame broke on the lens portion frame as the result of a very small impact. Smith would not warranty the glasses. So beware of Smith’s warranty. These are expensive glasses that I expected Smith would standby their product.

Have used Smith optics for many years . they're my favorite!!

Eagle River was epic

Great glasses. What a difference. And didn't trip or go swimming wading for the first time because I could easily see where I was walking. Epic.

Guides choice fabulous product

The polarchromic lenses are xclnt. I have 6 pair of these in different lenses. Amazing! And the warranty is absolutely astounding!
