The Smith Pursuit sunglasses have been created in collaboration with skier Cody Townsend as an accessory perfect for helping winter sport enthusiasts to maintain visibility on the slopes.
The sunglasses are equipped with the ChromaPop Glacier Photochromic lens that will adapt accordingly to changing light conditions, while also helping to boost color and contrast performance. The eyewear boasts magnetic side shields to allow for removal and will shield against light as well as harsh wind conditions. The sunglasses still allow for impressive airflow to prevent the wearer from feeing too closed in.
The Smith Pursuit sunglasses come with a removable nose guard to help with additional sun protection and feature the brand's bio-based Evolve material. Priced at $299 per pair, the sunglasses are available now.
