Best Sports Eyewear Ever

The Smith Wildcat sunglasses are simply the best outdoor eyewear I could ever ask for from a brand... amazing protection from rocks, dirt, branches, bugs, etc. on mountain bike rides with terrific airflow (no fogging - ever) and unreal coverage for ski tours and resort skiing / teaching. The interchangeable lenses are SO EASY to swap that I always bring a clear option with me in case things get dark (or just use the photochromic lense option, which is an outstanding alternative that suits most lighting conditions). They feel light on my face, comfortable, and are snug enough to stay put while not too tight that they give me a headache. This is my second (third?!) pair and I can't recommend them enough. If you are active outdoors, you owe it to yourseld to pick up a pair of these glasses. They are the absolute best option I've found for being active outdoors in a variety of conditions. Period.

Wildcat Riding Glasses

Very happy with these glasses and lenses. Comfortable and stylish

Love the lens coverage and how light the sunglasses are. Unbelievable lens. Photochromics and chromapoo at its best.

Sunglasses

love the look and color on this pair of sunglasses. The lens are very clear. I like the clear lense too. I've worn these all day on long bike rides and sweat doesnt mess up the vision that bad. The cloth bag they came with cleans up the lenses pretty nicely.

Poor Quality

While changing to the clear lenses, the top of the frame broke. Poor design or material quality. Tried to warranty the glasses and was denied. Will not purchase Smith products again, over the years they have reduced the quality and increased the price.

The Best Thing I Own

I’ve had these forever. Unfortunately broke the frame kayaking but they came in clutch and helped replace them.

Variable light conditions make the Photocromic lemses a perfect choice for hikes and random short ski tours in PNW, i usually use the Persuits but wanted something with more airflow which these excelled in.

Wildcat Photo Chromic

Great fit and really love the photo chromic lenses. On my second pair as one of the arms broke when folding up and putting in my helmet.

Fabulous sunglasses. I have a smaller frame face and often have sunglasses fall off my face. These have a great fit, full protection. I can wear them for every task. The clear lenses are great for ski touring at night and biking!

Great glasses and they work really well with my prescription inserts. The lenses are top quality and the fit is awesome.

Best Of The Best

Fit perfectly, lightweight and comfortable, work seamless with most helmets. Including my Forefront 3.

Bad Quality Arms Snap Off

Extremely BAD quality for what it is worth. I had 2 pairs that lasted 3 months each because the arm snapped off. Will DEFINITELY NOT be buying another one.

I have owned several Smith products over the years and I have always loved them. The Wildcat sunglasses look stylish, have great coverage and they are really light weight. Unfortunately, after about 4 months of use, I have two issues with these glasses. 1. I cannot keep them from sliding down my nose while mountain biking. I have tried both nose positions with no change and I have also tried aftermarket nose grips which do not seem to help either. 2. The photochromic lens seemed to get stuck in it's darkest shade (full sun mode). Yesterday on my after work ride, the trail was in and out of sunny areas and shaded woods, but the lens never changed from dark to light. That seemed weird to me because on previous rides the lens did seem to change as described in other reviews??? As mentioned before, I like the style and coverage so I will keep trying to make these work and fit. Thank you Smith!

Not Durable X Awful Warranty Program

Second pair of Wildcats has failed the exact same way as the first - with the cheap plastic hinges shearing off (feel free to search on google/reddit to see tons of similar examples). Rather than acknowledge the design flaw, the warranty dept attributed the break to "misuse, abuse, or negligence" and offered a worthless discount off MSRP. The worst part is the broken arm could easily be replaced as only a single screw attaches it to the frame. I loved these glasses for mountain biking and backcountry skiing - however I would not recommend them to anyone who partakes in the former. Vision is so important before dropping in to a committing line and pulling these out of the case to find the arm detached can really mess with your day out.

Great Sunglasses!

Can't wait to try them on the mountain bike trail!
