Think I'll be keeping these for a while!
I'm a bit of a sunglass geek. I'm frequently buying and reselling shades just to satisfy my curiosities about different companies' lens technology and build quality. I find that I keep coming back time and again to Smith Polarized Chromapop Grey Green as my absolute favorite sunglass lens. I've had several models with this lens - the only reason I sold them was because I could never quite find a model that had the right fit and style for my face. I finally found that in the Basecamp! Style and fit will be different from person to person but these are pretty much exactly what I was looking for.Just to reiterate my recommendation about the Polarized Chromapop Grey Green lenses - I have tried lenses from just about every major manufacturer and nothing beats these lenses in my opinion. They enhance certain wavelengths of the color spectrum and block others so as to improve contrast and definition. The effect is subtle but the world really does look more beautiful through these lenses (especially on a sunny day - on overcast days other lenses might have an edge). Back-side glare is well controlled too, which is an often overlooked aspect of non-wrap style glasses. Just a note - be aware that Chromapop Grey Green lenses come in both polarized and non-polarized. I strongly prefer polarized and would recommend them for most people, but some may have valid reasons for choosing non. Just make sure you know what you're ordering.Build quality is good - if you really want solid feeling frames with thicker, denser plastic, then you might be more impressed with Costa, Serengeti, or Persol. But I have never had a problem with Smith frames - they are designed to be lightweight and can feel a little flimsy, but they seem to hold up fine.The only thing that DID annoy me just a bit about these Basecamps is that they did not include a hardshell case. C'mon Smith - I would have gladly paid a couple bucks more for a real case! All you get is a microfiber cloth. I ALMOST subtracted a star for this but really, these are great glasses so I'm leaving all 5 stars in place.

My goof all around sunglasses
I originally bought these for running, but they quickly became my all around sunglasses. Very light and amazing colors. I wish they had a spring hinge like my Costa’s but so far that hasn’t been a problem.

Great fit . Adequate lenses
I love that they fit snugg so ...raise unop head & they stay. Frame fits face & no points of touch on cheeks. Light weight so no soreness. They are poly lenses so.... clarity is adequate

Awesome for Everything!
I bought these for backpacking, but have now ended up using them for just about everything: trail running, driving, walking around town, and still backpacking. They're lightweight, seem durable, and have lenses that are very good optically with a tint that can handle many situations (not too dark, not too light). The only time I don't use them is on a cloudy day for running--I have sunglasses with a lighter tint for that. Or when I put the Wayfarers on to look a little cooler. I wasn't expecting these Smith's to be so versatile, but I am extremely happy they are for me.

Great!
Really like the chroma pop, gives a touch of personality vs mirrored or simply smoke lenses. Frames are lightweight but rigid. A great light option without the chunky Oakley look. Making the switch from Maui Jim- thank you, Smith Optics. My only gripe is they don’t come with a hard case- but not taking any stars off for that. Solid product.

Super light quality
My first Smith sunglasses and was immediately impressed! I get complements on them, they are super light, grip and design really stay put even just sitting on my head. My only complaint it the chroma pop lenses my pair came with are a little too cool in color. The lenses still some of the best I have ever used and comfortable so I will be using them untill they scratch. Overall lenses still amazing just wish they were warmer.-

Worth the price tag
Great glasses, it's like putting newer better eyes on my head. That chromapop is incredible. The polarization is good and the glassed really grip to my head well. I originally bought these for fishing but instead use them for everything now. Spectacular product

Super Brille
Die Brille kommt absolut wertig daher. Sauber verpackt und mit einem ordentlichen Etui. Der Farbverlauf der Gläser ist super und die Brille macht insgesamt eine sehr hochwertigen Eindruck. Angenehmer Sitz, kein Drücken und sportlicher Look.Preis/Leistung ist hier TOP!!
