Description of Smith Venture Sunglasses - Polarized: |
The Smith Venture Polarized Sunglasses have titanium flights that are so lightweight you'll wear these shades to bed. The frameless design lends an unobstructed view, and Smith's polarization reduces glare from the road and from the water. Smith gave the Venture Polarized Sunglasses a small, snug fit so they won't fall off when you're leaning over the end of the dock to bring in your big catch.
Bottom Line: Get a tight fit and an unobstructed view with the titanium Smith Venture Polarized Sunglasses.

| Flimsy, loose, and not durable. 08-23-08 |

| I really like the form factor and look of these glasses, but they do not hold up well to even casual wear. I am a fan of Smith Optics. They sell relatively inexpensive glasses with decent optics and a variety of styles, but this pair was not a good representation of what I have come to expect.
First off, the nearly frameless design requires that the sides and nose bridge are held in place with a single screw on each end. These screws never stay tight. To worsen the situation, the screw requires some custom tool to tighten. I checked with three optical stores, and they all said they had seen the screws before, but could not help me adjusting them.
The inner lens coating is very sensitive, too. I noticed it wore through after a few days with just casual cleaning with the included cleaning cloth.
Finally, for a titanium frame, I would have expected a standard feature like a spring-loaded hinge. These have a standard friction hinge, which seems to suffer from the same loosening problems that the other screws on the frame do.
The style and feel was great, but I couldn't put up with what seemed like shoddy technical design and materials so I returned them. |

| The Best Ever 07-14-06 |

| I would just like to say after all of the pairs of sunglasses that I've owned nothing compares to these. I have a small face and they fit perfectly, not sliding down my nose, just fitting perfectly, they're so light and are the most comfortable pair I've ever owned. I would just like to say three words, "THE BEST EVER", that is my final thought on my new sunglasses, the Smith Venture. |
