ChromaPop
Smith Optics' patented ChromaPop lens technology lets you see detail and colour like never before! The polarised ChromaPop lenses filter light at two specific wavelengths where colour confusion occurs. As a result, the lens offers better colour definition, stronger natural colours and unsurpassed clarity. Normally, the retina of the eye has difficulty distinguishing between blue and green light and between red and green light. ChromaPop filters out these overlaps, allowing for better colour definition, natural colours and perfect clarity. The ChromaPop polarised lenses are optically tuned to provide visual comfort and impact resistance with enhanced glare protection. They also feature water and oil resistant anti-reflective coatings. 100% UV protection.
Low Light Yellow (VLT = 33%).
Ideal for fly fishing, these polarized lenses provide optimal glare protection during the hours of the day when the sun is lower in the sky or hidden behind clouds. 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 real glass offers 100% UV protection and, with its yellow tint and high light transmission, is optimal in low-light conditions - i.e., during the daytime in heavily overcast skies as well as at dusk. But yellow is also ideal as an all-round lens for nymph fishing, because with it structures under water can be better perceived.
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.
