Smith Vert PivLock Oversized Cycling Sunglasses Review - feat. PivLock Lens System + Frameless

Smith’s Vert PivLock sunglasses combine an oversized frameless shield design with a new quick-release PivLock lens system. These are developed for cycling, running or other high-intensity sport use with a lightweight construction. Retail price ranges from $209 for the standard ChromaPop lenses and up to $219 for the mirrored ChromaPop lenses. Smith has incorporated a clever PivLock lens attachment system that allows you to rotate the temples off the lens with little fuss. The sunglasses even include an additional clear lens that’s perfect for riding in low visibility conditions. For comfort, the sunglasses have two-position non-slip Megol nose pads and flexible temples. The Smith Vert PivLock has an aggressive shield lens with a frameless design that’s specifically developed for high-intensity sports. With its frameless design the sunglasses are mostly lenses and feature two thin horizontal vents on each side. This has an aggressive design with sharp corners and a curved bottom. The sunglasses are oversized with a 6-base cylindrical shield lens curvature that wraps around your face. A high impact resistant TR90 nylon material is used for the frame and nose pads which keeps the frame light and flexible. Smith offers the sunglasses six different frame and lens combinations including: black, bone, amethyst, green, and white. The finish on the frame feels premium with sharp edges and a semi-gloss finish. The Vert PivLock has thin and light temples that curve inward to hold them in place on bumpy roads or steep trails. These utilize non-slip Megol material on the temple arms to help hold them in place without getting snagged on hair. Although they don’t have a wire core to hold the shape, the flexible and thin design easily adjusts to different head shapes without creating pressure points. The nose pads also have a clever two position design that can be clicked into a wide or narrow position. With this built-in adjustment you don’t have to worry about losing interchangeable nose pads like those found on the Oakley Kato. ...
