Sea Otter 2023 – Sunglasses from Smith Optics, Limar, and Tifosi

Smith Mainline Full Face Helmet

DH-certified, full-face enduro helmet featuring Koroyd

Give credit where credit’s due. Thank your mom, your legs, and your gear for giving you the opportunity to land that rocky gap. Made for going big, going fast, or both, the Smith Mainline is our pinnacle, downhill-certified enduro bike helmet. Safety innovations like Koroyd and MIPS provide energy-absorbing impact protection, so you have the confidence to get aggressive on the trail. It doesn’t matter if you’re slaying the EWS in Whistler or suffering through the last stage of your local enduro race; you need a breathable, lightweight helmet that pairs well with goggles and fits like a glove. The Mainline integrates with your bike goggles for efficient venting and fog-free vision. Multiple pad sets, including liners and neck rolls, let you customize the fit.

Smith Rhythm MTB Goggle

Cylindrical series

Whether it’s race day or you’re on the party lap train, clear vision can make or break the day. The race-inspired Smith Rhythm Mountain Bike Goggles set you up for maximum clarity and a wide field of view in any condition. When it’s wet and muddy, the roll-off compatible design lets you maintain full speed ahead. When the sun shines bright, ChromaPop makes sure every root, rut, and landing comes through loud and clear. Low-profile outriggers make sure they fit comfortably around a full-face helmet. A removable micro screen for additional dirt and debris protection and compatible roll-offs are sold separately.

Smith Vert Sunglasses

There is not much information on the new Vert sunglasses yet, but they are very comfy and offer excellent coverage and spacious viewing.

The Verts are lightweight and come in many frame and lens colors. They offer two small slots by the brow for venting.

Limar Cruz Sunglasses

The Limar Cruz includes a large high-strength polycarbonate mono-lens that guarantees total protection against UV rays with their optional photochromic model, alongside two lens options for variable weather conditions. The Grilamid TR90 half frame is flexible and resistant, for an ideal fit for long rides. The Cruz provides great visibility and protection on the road, on the trail, or in the backcountry.

Limar Kosmos Sunglasses

Perfect for days out on rugged all-mountain trails, the Kosmos hits the trails with a wraparound cylindrical lens and two front air intakes to prevent fogging and promote air ventilation. The Kosmos includes two lenses for cloudy or sunny days.

Limar Horus Sunglasses

For casual or intense adventures, the Horus is a retro-inspired full-frame model well suited for gravel riding and other cycling pursuits. The multi-vented lens allows for airflow while riding, and the shield-style lens offers great visibility while protecting against wind, bugs, and debris.

Limar Argo Sunglasses

The Argo combines a contemporary design with essential qualities like a lightweight 26g frame while remaining elastic and durable. The wide range UV protective lens in a high-strength polycarbonate with anti-scratch treatment and a dark mirrored lens.

Tifosi Rivet Sunglasses

Tifosi has the new Rivet sunglasses for cyclists and runners. Rivet’s lightweight design and custom fit make it an excellent choice for long rides or runs. The shatterproof lenses provide protection against wind, debris, and UV rays, while the smaller lens vents help prevent fogging when you’re working up a sweat.

While Rivet is associated with Tifosi’s endurance line of sunglasses, its frame suggests otherwise. Rivet’s half-frame design, constructed of highly-durable Grilamid TR-90, increases airflow to prevent fogging while reducing weight. At a featherlight 28g, Rivet is one of Tifosi’s lightest endurance model sunglasses. Outdoor enthusiasts will also enjoy Rivet’s hydrophilic rubber ear and nose pieces which are fully adjustable and increase in grip the more you perspire. Rivet’s shatterproof and scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses have been amplified in size (42.1mm x 71.5mm) to create an excellent fit for medium to large face profiles.

To create versatility across a wide range of activities–cycling, running, golf, and everything in between–Rivet is available in five separate lens combinations. In particular, the Satin Vapor colorway will feature this season’s new Clarion Blue Fototec lens, which begins nearly clear and darkens to a smoke tint with a blue mirror in sunlight. A great option for cyclists, Clarion Blue Fototec, allows you to ride through varying lighting conditions without having to stop to swap lenses, while the Enliven Golf lens will elevate play on the links.
