Amazon.com Product Description

Equipped with a patented interchangeable lens system that's ideal for the running trail, golf course, or bike trail, the Threshold Slider sunglass is lightweight and versatile. The lenses are easy to swap thanks to the slider system, which lets you remove each lens with a quick upward motion. The polarized 9-base carbonic Tapered Lens Technology (TLT) design, meanwhile, blocks 99.9 percent of reflective glare while minimizing peripheral exposure to sun, wind, and glare. And wearers will love the Grilamid TR-90 frame, which includes Megol nose and temple pads to ensure a comfortable nonslip performance. Available in a medium/large fit with 16 replacement tints to choose from, the Threshold Slider is backed by Smith's legendary lifetime warranty.

About Smith Optics
Based in Sun Valley, Idaho, Smith Optics, Inc. was founded in 1965 with the creation of the first-ever goggle featuring a sealed thermal lens and breathable vent foam. In the early years, founder Dr. Bob Smith, an orthodontist by trade, made goggles by hand using dental tools, foam, and glue. Before he struck a deal for manufacturing of Smith goggles in the late 60s, Smith would often trade his creations for lift tickets. These early prototypes were usually manufactured by Smith and friends around the kitchen table.

Building on that goggle heritage and extending its expertise, Smith Sport Optics has gone on to set the standard for high-performance eyewear and goggles. Innovations over the years include the Fog-X anti-fog coating, PMT Perforated Membrane Technology lens ventilation system, patented Turbo C.A.M. Constant Air Management system, patented Regulator adjustable lens ventilation system, patented Roll Off's film advance system for motocross, patented ODS (Ocular Docking System) prescription insert, and patented Slider series sunglasses, the most innovative interchangeable lens sunglass available.

Today, Smith Optics has become synonymous with innovative, durable, top-quality products in the eyewear and goggle market. The company is also recognized for its unparalleled team roster, which boasts some of the top names in biking, motocross, skiing, snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding, and wakeboarding. Like many other companies, Smith utilizes team input as a key element of new product introductions. In addition, Smith athletes are actively involved in the development process for performance testing and coloration selection.

Smith products are sold worldwide in more than 50 countries through specialty and sporting goods stores. From Smith's distortion-free Tapered Lens Technology to the versatility of the Slider Series, with its patented, interchangeable lens system, its devotion to excellence, innovation and style has made Smith goggles and sunglasses the choice of action-sport athletes worldwide. Smith products represent authentic sports gear, researched and tested by a dedicated group of employees and athletes that live and breathe the lifestyle.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great glasses except for one flaw, May 20, 2011

This review is from: Smith Optics Threshold Slider Sunglasses (Eyewear)

I've owned these glasses for 5 years and have gone through two pair. They're great. They fit well and never fall off. The problem is the rubber coating over the earpieces. After several months, they get loose. A few more months down the road and the metal posts inside the rubber start to poke through the rubber. At this time, I sent them back to Smith, which they covered under their limited lifetime warranty. However, a couple years later and the posts are poking through again. I'll have to send them back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fits a Medium guy perfectly, August 30, 2010

By 

Margin of Safety (USA) - See all my reviews

Smith says large fit/large coverage...no way
Medium fit large coverage but the wrap around makes them fit Med/Med as you wont have large amounts of frame sticking out from your temples.
Frame Measurements, not lens in MM
Temp-Temp 142.5
Widest point 147 (midway down the arm)
Bridge 17
Height 41
Arm 112 from hinge to end. (you wont have arm ends sticking out way past your ear)
Came with 4 lens's easy to pop in and out.
Net Net: If you are a guy's medium these will fit perfectly.

This review is from: Smith Optics Threshold Slider Sunglasses (Eyewear)

Really nice sunglasses. Comes with yellow, clear, bronze and gray lenses which are easy to swap. Yeah, they are pricey, but are good quality. The case is nice too, but I wish there was a bit more room for the extra lenses.
