Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I stumbled across the Smith Serpico sunglasses about 5 years ago. I'm on my third pair now -- because I lose them -- and always, always return to these. I love them for a few reasons:
1) There is absolutely NO distortion in these lenses. As cliche as it may sound, I sometimes forget that I'm wearing them. They cover your complete field-of -vision and offer extreme optical clarity.
2) The polarized lenses are top-notch. I've never once noticed the polarizing pattern in the lenses, even in bright reflections. You know it's great when you don't notice it.
3) Smith offers a lifetime warranty on these. You DO need to provide a receipt (made easy through Amazon), but they have a quick turnaround with no hassle. I managed to bend up the first pair I had badly, but Smith replaced them -- no questions asked -- quickly and painlessly.
4) They're extremely comfortable and the bayonet-style temples never poke your ears or head. I wear mine from sun-up to sundown without any discomfort. They fit snugly enough that they won't go flying off your face and stay in position well, even when turning your head abruptly or leaning over. But they're not overly-tight; offering absolutely no discomfort even after 10 hours of wear.
These are some of the best sunglasses available in my opinion. Coupled with a price that's below many of the competitive equivalents and a lifetime warranty, they (continue to) come across as a bargain. If/when I lose this third pair, rest assured the fourth will be on their way.

Smith Optics Serpico SunglassesThe sunglass industry's first Toric aviator model, the Smith Serpico will bring out the honest cop in all of us. The Serpico is outfitted with a lightweight wire frame made of optical-grade metal allow, and includes acetate temple tips to give the sunglass a classic appeal. The 9x3 Toric carbonic TLT lenses, meanwhile, are contoured so that light travels through without distortion--a major improvement over many other sunglass models. Carbonic lenses are also the most impact-resistant lenses on the market, with an anti-scratch coating that keeps them looking fresh through the years. Best of all, the Serpico fuses a mid-'70s aviator aesthetic with modern optical clarity, making this the ultimate in high-fashion eyewear. Available with both polarized and non-polarized lenses, the Serpico offers a medium fit with large coverage and carries Smith's legendary lifetime warranty.
About Smith OpticsBased 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.
