Editorial Reviews:
Product Description The Smith Hudson Polarized sunglasses are lightweight and styled to fit the hip life. Carbonic lenses block 100% of UV rays, and won't shatter on you should you take a spill in whatever extreme sport you happen to be involved with when you wear them. The polarization reduces 99% of reflected glare, which enhances visual acuity and reduces eye fatigue. A smooth silver "S" logo adorns the sides of these shades, subtle, but noticeable enough to clue people into what style you're sporting. This model has a Grilamid nylon frame which is rugged, resilient, strong, flexible, lightweight and retains its shape.

Amazon.com Product Description The Hudson's stylish design blends with superior functionality to create a smooth sunglass that excels in virtually any application. The Hudson is outfitted with a Grilamid TR-90 frame that serves as the gold standard for active users, with hydrophilic Megol on the nose and temple pads to help ensure a comfortable nonslip fit. The frame's shape, meanwhile, stretches wide over the temples while protecting from peripheral wind, snow, and glare. Add in Smith's carbonic Tapered Lens Technology (TLT) lenses--which are contoured so that light travels without distortion--and you have the perfect marriage of style and performance. Available with smooth, mirrored lenses and polarized lens options, the Hudson is backed by Smith's legendary lifetime warranty. About Smith Optics Based 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. Today, Smith Optics has become synonymous with innovative, durable, top-quality products in the eyewear and goggle market. The company is also recognized for its unparalleled team roster, which boasts some of the top names in biking, motocross, skiing, snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding, and wakeboarding. Like many other companies, Smith utilizes team input as a key element of new product introductions. In addition, Smith athletes are actively involved in the development process for performance testing and coloration selection. Smith products are sold worldwide in more than 50 countries through specialty and sporting goods stores. From Smith's distortion-free Tapered Lens Technology to the versatility of the Slider Series, with its patented, interchangeable lens system, its devotion to excellence, innovation and style has made Smith goggles and sunglasses the choice of action-sport athletes worldwide.
