"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I grabbed the Ultralite ChromaPop Sunglasses for the retro aesthetic and kept wearing them because the ChromaPop lens and cylindrical shield give exceptional coverage and contrast on cloudy days and into low light. The goggle-compatible temple tips are a genuinely useful detail, and the Archive Collection pouch is a nice touch that matches the overall vibe perfectly.""Not every piece of gear needs to look like it was designed in a wind tunnel, and the Smith Ultralite ChromaPop Sunglasses prove that point beautifully. Pulling directly from late 1980s ski culture and the archive of retro goggle design, the cylindrical shield lens and ventilation holes give these shades a silhouette that is impossible to mistake for anything else on the hill or the trail. Extra-large coverage wraps the face with the kind of peripheral protection that makes them genuinely useful across a wide range of conditions, not just a style statement you squint through. ChromaPop lens technology keeps the visual experience firmly in the present, sharpening contrast and enhancing natural color, whether the light is flat and grey or blazing off fresh snow. A slight wraparound fit and adjustable Megol nose pads keep the frame secure and comfortable through active use, while AutoLock hinges hold the frames open for easy one-handed on and off between runs or laps. Goggle-inspired strap-compatible temple tips nod directly to the heritage that inspired the design and add a functional layer of security for high-output days. The included Archive Collection fleece pouch ties the whole package together with a retro-appropriate finishing touch that makes the unboxing feel like finding something rare."
