Smith’s Riverside Impress

Another field-tested recommendation: Smith Optics recently introduced the Riverside, a sunglass model that melds a classic look with updated feel, and features the company’s Techlite and Tapered Lens Tech (TLT) glass lens technology. Techlite is highly durable and scratch resistant, as well as exceptionally light. Riverside comes in various ploarized lens tints suited for different fishing situations, including polarchromic copper and amber, as well as blue and green mirrors. They also sport spring hinges and temple and nost pads for secure fit, and are recommended for medium to large faces. MSRP ranges from $159 to $179, and like all Smith products, they’re backed by a lifetime warranty. See smithoptics.com for more details.
