Smith Attack Smith Optics, meanwhile, has launched a blend of two proprietary technologies this summer to address the needs of elite athletes and endurance enthusiasts. Aeromax Smith's performance Attack sunglasses are a series of interchangeable eyewear, with the Attack and the Attack Max featuring Smith’s new MAG interchange- able technology and ChromaPop lenses. “Using 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,” the company says. “Additionally, the hidden interchange- ability system reduces the stress and tension on the temples and lens struc- ture to provide exceptional optics while offering a quick and secure connection.” The Attack builds on the success of the brand’s best-selling PivLock fran- chise of performance eyewear, with a faster and more intuitive approach to lens interchangeability. Each model is offered in one of three ChromaPop performance lens options - that reveal natural colour, enhanced visual clarity and greater definition of objects - and all include a secondary ChromaPop Contrast Rose flash lens for addressing low light conditions. 30 Optical Prism | October 2017 The lenses have been crafted with a lowered-brow design for increased ven- tilation while the two-position adjustable nosepiece provides 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 at any velocity. When it comes to Bolle, both the Aeromax and Flash styles offer wide horizontal and vertical fields of view. Aeromax features B-Max technology, which offers a unique field of view designed for the same usage as cycling sunglasses but with an aerodynamic air flow design. “AEROMAX sunglasses maximize comfort and airflow providing unique vision,” Bolle says. “The thermogrip temples and adjustable nosepads offer a perfect fit and stability on the face.” The new model is also equipped with Bollé B-Clear lenses based on a Trivex NXT structure for unparalleled optical quality, featherweight lightness and maximum resistance to impact and the lens also offers hydrophobic and oleo- phobic coatings so that drops of water are dispersed and dirt and smudging are virtually eliminated. It's also avail- able with prescription lenses directly inserted into the shield. The Flash model sunglasses are avail- able with a large choice of flashy colours and are dedicated to cycling and/or running, which embody all of Bollé’s technology in a lightweight frame. “Their wraparound frames offer optimal protection and air-flow for a great comfort and vision,” the company says.
