Premium Optics meets Premium Protection

Since 1965, Smith Optics’ mission has been to design, engineer, and manufacture the world’s highest performing eyewear for those whose success and survival depends on clear vision. Our dedication to innovative technologies and unmatched dependability, designed and tested in the field, has made us the choice of athletes, adventurers, and explorers worldwide. Smith’s heritage rests on a legacy of producing exceptional products that answer the questions that have been asked. Smith Elite carries this history forward, focused on the same goal with a new kind of athlete in mind.

Through innovation, engineering, and integration our mission is to deliver the highest performing ballistic eye protection available to the tactical athlete.

PREMIUM PROTECTION Protection is paramount

ENGINEERING

Terms like mil spec and ansi z87.1 describe ballistic protection by defining impact resistance of a projectile at a predetermined velocity. We use aggressive research and testing to deliver materials that don’t just meet standards, they outclass them. Our lenses are engineered to absorb impacts that exceed requirements with optimized optical clarity. You don’t settle for just getting by and neither do we.

Our engineers love nothing more than violent impact. In our lab we are constantly testing impact resistance, optical quality, fog time, abrasion resistance, and light transmission to ensure consistent dependability at the leading edge of product design. Our engineers make sure we get the results so you can focus on the mission.

LENS MATERIAL Quality materials help us achieve our goal of premium protection. We use top grade polycarbonate in our Tactical Core lenses and a proprietary polymer material in our Tactical Lifestyle lenses.

school of design Smith Elite takes the concept of integration to a new level by adopting the military’s Human Systems Integration (HSI) process. This approach takes human variables such as fit, optical performance, ballistic performance, integrated equipment, and weapons interface into account to refine a product’s functionality across the spectrum of factors. We design specifically to optimize performance allowing real-world testing to drive the product’s evolution.

PREMIUM TECHNOLOGY LENS COATINGS

TAPERED LENS TECHNOLOGY—TLT Optics

Fogging is performance inhibiting, annoying, and dangerous. We know more about fog prevention than anyone. We were founded with the invention of the non-fogging goggle over 45 years ago. Our anti-fog technologies keep your line of sight crystal clear, so all you have to think about is your objective.

Distortion occurs whenever light passes through any medium, including curved lenses. We virtually eliminate all optical distortion with TLT (Tapered Lens Technology) Optics. TLT Optics progressively attunes lens thickness from lens center to the periphery, straightening light rays before they enter the eye so what you see is 100% of what you get.

PivLock™ LENS INTERCHANGE TECHNOLOGY

Optical precision relies on the purest materials, most sophisticated lens shaping, and years of experience.

Smith Elite is introducing the fastest and easiest lens interchange system available. PivLock technology is the ultimate combination of performance and style and it’s a Smith exclusive. We have incorporated the PivLock Lens Interchange Technology in both the Aegis eyeshield (p.09) and the new Factor and Factor Max Tactical sunglasses (p.15). You have more important things to do with your time than messing around with a lens. Flip, switch, and get to it.
