Both frames include a two-position adjustable nosepiece, providing a perfect fit. The nosepiece and temples are comprised of megol, which reacts to perspiration by gently adhering to the skin for a comfortable, no slip fit. The ChromaPop lens technology, proprietary to Smith, reveals natural colour, enhanced visual clarity and greater definition of objects. The MAG interchangeable technology is a magnet-based innovation that enables fast lens swapping for varying light conditions with a simple click. The MAG system is built directly into the temple to allow for a vast field of view in a rimless frame design for invisible fit. Athletes look for “ample coverage, superior optics, ease of interchangeable lenses for a variety of conditions, integration with helmets, which especially important in cycling,” says Gaeir.
