Whether you're riding on paved roads or exploring new trails off-road, it’s important to have eye protection that enhances and protects your vision. Smith’s new Motive sunglasses combine a traditional two-piece lens design with an oversized profile to provide an unobstructed view. The Motive retail for $175 with standard ChromaPop lenses and $185 for the mirrored versions. Smith has infused classic design cues into the Motive while using a modern TR90 nylon frame for durability. Regardless of the version you choose, Smith includes spare clear lenses as well as fabric and a zippered hard case for storage and transportation.
Visually, the Smith Motive sunglasses have a sporty design with a two-piece lens construction. This gives the Motive a more classic appearance while the oversized design offers a wide field of view. Smith offers the sunglasses in six different combinations that includes standard matte black, black and matte blue frame colors. We have one of the more eye-catching color options which is the “Wild Child” version that adds some retro vibes with bright red, purple and black spots. It’s a unique look that isn’t for everyone but gives the sunglasses a cool look that stands out. As far as classifications, the Motive sunglasses are a medium fit with large coverage and a 5-base lens curvature.
Despite being a two-piece lens design, the Motive has an interchangeable design with tabs holding the lens onto the frame. Smith even includes a clear lens which lets you swap them in for night time or early morning riding. There are a variety of ChromaPop lenses available with the Motive with 10-15% VLT filtering. Note, Smith does not offer photochromic options currently, so you’ll need to be careful when you are picking the color / lens combination. The ChromaPop technology is Smith’s lens technology which is designed to enhance contrast and colors.
