description Smith Embark Overview
The Smith Embark is a performance-oriented sunglass model designed for endurance sports, trail running, and alpine activities. The glasses feature a frameless design utilizing spherical lenses, which curve both horizontally and vertically to provide a wide, unobstructed field of view and reduce optical distortion at the edges. The frame components are constructed from Evolve, Smith's proprietary bio-based nylon material that prioritizes environmental sustainability without sacrificing durability. They are intended for athletes requiring lightweight eye protection and maximum visibility in dynamic terrain.
help Smith Embark FAQ
Are Smith Embark sunglasses intended for mountaineering?
Yes. Smith markets the Embark as glacier eyewear for skiing, high-elevation summits, and snowfields, with removable side shields to block peripheral light.
Do the side shields come off the Smith Embark?
Yes. The ventilated TPU side shields attach magnetically and can be removed when full glacier-style coverage is unnecessary.
Are all Smith Embark lenses photochromic?
No. Embark configurations include Glacier Photochromic, standard ChromaPop, polarized, mineral-glass, and polycarbonate options, so buyers must check the exact lens named in the colorway.
Does the Smith Embark include a retaining strap?
Yes. It supports Smith's PivLock leash, a goggle-inspired retainer intended to keep the glasses secure during technical climbs and fast descents.
