"Overall, a solid pair of sunglasses with interchangeable lenses for no matter what the conditions, and stylish as well."jenstewey

(5)

Ease of use

They're sunglasses... you just put them on! Though, I have not figured out yet how to swap out the lenses. It all comes in a convenient case that I just keep in my car, so I think once I know how to swap out the lenses (didn't see any instructions, and this is my first pair of interchangeable lens glasses.

(5)

Quality of Construction

These are my first pair of Smith sunglasses, but I have used their ski goggles for years and have never been disappointed in quality.

(5)

Fit

This was the biggest selling point for me. I like the colors of women's sunglasses, but my head seems a little too big for most models. That and/or the ends of the part that goes behind your ear turns in so much that it gives me a terrible headache for my whole ride. These are perfect, and they don't dig into the side of my head at all.

(5)

Comfort

same description as fit, they are snug and super comfy!

(5)

Adjustability

Comes with 3 interchangable lenses. I haven't actually figured out how to change the lenses; seems to me it should be a little more obvious than when I tried (and failed), but I am pretty sure this is user error.

(3)

Durability

I have only been using them for a couple months now, so it's hard to say; they have not yet been put through the ringer.

(3)

Value

Comparatively, they seemed about average for the type of sunglasses I was looking at. Even better if you have any REI dividend points, which I did.

(5)

Appearance

Love the colors!! I was torn between the purple and turquoise, but ended up with purple b/c it's my favorite color.

(5)

Performance

I was a little worried b/c these are not polarized and my previous ones had been, but I really had great vision, including peripheral vision and they worked great.

Strengths

Super comfortable and looks pretty too!

Weakness

I haven't found any yet.
