Questions & Answers
Throughout my life, I've never experienced a fogging issue.
In the sunlight they appear to be black with slight blue hints. Just like the photo, they are very dark. There is no longer an old turquoise Med Blue. The first pair I ordered was faulty, so I ordered a third pair!
The answer is definitely yes. As far as comfort, lightness, and fit go, these glasses fit me perfectly.
Selected User Reviews For Smith Parallel Max 2 Carbonic Polarized Sunglasses, Crystal Mediterranean/Carbonic Polarized Blue Mirror/Ignitor
Every day I wear these commuting from work to home and they're snug and comfortable. It looks like the frames are high quality and rugged enough to handle a little mishandling. There is only one minor flaw the lens pops out quite often. However, they are designed to be interchangeable, yet sometimes all it takes is to place them on your head with a single hand (the other has to be used for driving) and out pops If driving down the road at 65 mph, I can be bothered by it, but it wouldn't stop me from buying them again.
It's a wonderful pair of Frames that fit securely and are light in weight The lenses should avoid glare and be clear at the same time It actually works when you switch lenses! It is easy to insert and remove the lenses without scratching them. So happy with how things turned out. Twenty years ago, lenses swapping was very difficult because they scratched so Despite my attempts, I couldn't get them swapped without.
As I have bought three pairs of these sunglasses from a variety of vendors and the frames have consistently been extremely dark, I called Smith directly and they told me that their Mediterranean frames have been painted but the photo has not yet been changed. In the case that you think you're ordering the turquoise frame pictured, they no longer exist. They will now come with a very dark, almost black, frame that is translucent.
This has happened twice. I ordered these in Crystal Mediterranean (blue frames) twice and was sent shiny black frames both times. I'm giving it one more shot. Black is what I would have ordered if I wanted I am very pleased with the glasses themselves I found that the helmet was comfortable on my face and well suited for my MTB helmet from Smith. The style is appealing to me I like that they are sized just right for me.
In the past ten years, my wife and I have owned ten or more pairs of Smith glasses between us. I bought these for $30 at a mall kiosk, which was the first time I felt like I was paying $30 for Then about 20 rides after a period of 6 weeks. It had always been cleaned ONLY with the micro fiber included and returned to the case. My right lens has a scratch right in the middle of it. A new pair of lenses can cost $60 more, according to Smith. What motivates you? If you want to buy me two whole pairs of mall kiosk crap, I could do it for less. I bid you farewell, Pricey products were sold by you in the past Frames and lenses that are affordable yet of high quality. As a result, you can only sell pricey items. Despite having good lenses and frames, they have crappy lenses.
I love how the fit is just right The medium/large size. A brown polarized lense is useful for searching the waters on Oahu, Hawaii, as well as for driving in direct sunlight every day. I have bought many pairs over the past year for these reasons, and I have replaced lenses because they tend to scratch. Weighing only a few pounds, the frames are extremely sturdy and lightweight. The pair is my favorite and I have owned numerous pairs. Ship sailing under the name of Merchant Mariner.
I love the lenses in this pair of glasses because they're lightweight and they're a lovely color. My Ray Bans actually do not stand out in this environment, and they actually look better on me. This is a highly recommended product. Although I have not tried out the lighter lens sets that automatically arrive with the glasses, I am looking forward to doing so. I will update this review as soon as I do so.
This pair of glasses is pretty decent all around. The only problem I've had with my lenses is that one of them fell out when I was cleaning them. Thanks to their ease of replacement, they are easily replaceable.
