Outfitted with a patented interchangeable lens system, the Interlock Trace sunglass is an ideal choice for both outdoor excursions and casual wear. The lenses are easy to swap thanks to the swiveling arms, which rotate open to release the lenses and rotate back to the starting position to keep them in place. The polarized 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 fit with 14 replacement lens tints to choose from, the Interlock Trace 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.

These glasses are extremely versatile and fit comfortably on my moderately thin/ medium size face. I like the retro '80s style but also appreciate the fact that they're not TOO boxy like some newer styles. The interock system works well and makes it very easy to switch out lenses on the go. The frame also seems incredibly durable (though I cannot comment on its long-term durability just yet). Overall, they are a great pair of shades for the price.
Just as advertised - good quality,

I'm very pleased with these glasses. They are very comfortable and have a quality feel to them. Great price on Amazon! These also come with two alternate lenses, a clear and a red. They also included a nice hard case.
