Techlite

Smith Optics' copyrighted Techlite lenses are some of the clearest lenses on the market. They reduce annoying glare to a minimum and are absolutely scratch-resistant: up to 12 times more scratch-resistant than polymer lenses and 20% lighter than conventional glass! They also offer 100% UV protection with an anti-reflective coating to reduce eye strain.

Photochromic lensens

The photochromic lens system automatically darkens or lightens dependent upon the light conditions, ensuring a precisely regulated, consistent rate of light transmission. As light condition increase or decrease, the lens system adjusts so that your eyes remain relaxed and focused on your fishing. Wether you are casting for rising trout during an evening hatch in the woods or fishing for pike from a boat on a sunny day.

Polarchromic Copper (VLT = 13-20%).

These polarized lenses are ideal for fly fishing and provide optimal glare protection during the bright hours of the day. Built on Smith Optics' Techlite glass lens platform to maximize clarity, this polarized lens offers up to 12x more scratch resistance than a polymer lens and can be up to 20% lighter than a traditional glass lens. The genuine glass offers 100% UV protection, and with its copper tint and high contrast, it is optimal in medium to bright light conditions - in bright sunshine the lens darkens comfortably, and as the light fades, the excellent contrast enhancement still helps you spot well camouflaged fish at dusk. An excellent all-round lens for many uses in fresh and saltwater.


Hydroleophobic: Water and Oil Resistant Coating
This special coating actively resists moisture, grease and dirt. It effectively creates a barrier between your lenses and your environment. Water forms drops and runs off without streaking. Dirt stains from fingerprints can be easily wiped off.
