On a run, on two wheels, or in the snow, the new Defy sunglass from SMITH offers ample coverage and a crisp view of the terrain wherever adventure takes you. The performance-focused sunglass features a lightweight, rimless design and ChromaPop™ optics for unobstructed, high-contrast vision.

Comprised of lightweight, flexible, and high-impact-resistant TR90 nylon, the Defy features a slight wraparound fit and offers superior protection with a rimless lens for unrestricted peripheral vision. The 5-base cylindrical shield lens is exclusively provided in SMITH’s proprietary ChromaPop lens technology, delivering enhanced color, clarity, and definition of objects. Each durable frame comes with two interchangeable lens tints – one for bright sun and a clear option for low-light or night adventures – to accommodate variable light conditions. The addition of smudge and moisture-resistant coatings provides easy cleaning and clear optics.

Auto-lock hinges hold the frames open for easy, one-handed removal of the glasses, and the inclusion of Megol temple and nose pads provides a non-slip grip that won’t bounce while in motion, reacting to perspiration. The Megol on the nose pads is also adjustable for a more customized fit, which will also regulate airflow as needed.

The Defy (MSRP $175-$ 185) is available now at smithoptics.com and select specialty retailers worldwide. It includes two sets of lenses, a microfiber cleaning and storage pouch, and a hard case.
