Smith Sunnies - Optics that make great days, better
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at 1:47PM 
Memorial Day Weekend in 2 days! WOO HOO!
The unofficial start of summer, as well as the second weekend of King Fishing in the Anchor!
For some of us that means some max and relax time or busy time, and for others, overtime on boatwork to get out to the commercial fishing grounds.
Either way it means that in Homer we are at nearly 18 hours of Sunlight and still growing! Which also means... Sunglasses are indeed neccessary!!!
Whatever the case for you, we've got a ton of GREAT sunglasses from Smith Optics!
There are a lot of options, super styly, polarchromic, techlite glass & more!
Since we are hoping to be fishy ourselves soon (our freezers are empty, how about yours), we thought we'd highlight why we love Smith Optics. They have the best lenses under $200 on the market!

Polarized: most Alaskans know why polarized lenses rock. Simply put, they cut the glare. Why are Smith Optics' superior?
tapered-lens-technology
Visual distortion occurs when light waves hit an aggressively-curved lens causing it to bend or distort an objects true size or position. Imagine looking through a fish eye lens. What your eye normally sees, is stretched beyond reality. Get the picture? Tapered Lens Technology corrects the distortion by progressively tapering the lens from the optical center towards the outer edges. Light waves are thereby delivered straight to your eye resulting in zero distortion and true optical clarity. What you see is what you get.
technology-polarchromic
POLARIZED LENSES WITH PHOTOCHROMIC TECHNOLOGY TO ADAPT TO EVER-CHANGING LIGHT CONDITIONS
With Smith Polarchromic we combine the glare-free benefits of advanced polarization with UV sensitive, self-tint-adjusting photochromic technology to bring you the most advanced sunglass lenses we have ever created. How do we do it? Precise amounts of silver halide crystals are infused into the glass lens material during their creation. These microscopic crystals automatically change orientation in response to UV light which results in a shift in tint either increasing or decreasing Visible Light Transmission (VLT), fine tuning the tint of your lens in response to ambient light conditions as they change throughout the day. Smith Polarchromic never wears out or gets tired lasting the life of the your sunglasses. The result? You get a lens which offers crisp optics and soothing light levels at all hours allowing you to focus on what matters most from dawn to dusk.

TECHLITE POLARIZED GLASSOPTICAL SUPERIORITY THAT WILL OPEN YOUR EYES
Techlite Polarized Glass lenses produce clarity, optical precision, and comfort that surpass all expectations. By absolutely minimizing lens thickness to provide a 20% weight reduction over standard lenses, total frame weight rivals any sunglass on the market.
Created through a finishing process with controls maintaining 1/2000th of a millimeter tolerance, each lens is optically-corrected using Tapered Lens Technology. Utilizing a nine layer construction set up, all available light is managed to maximize clarity and eye comfort.
All Techlite Polarized Glass lenses utilize a multi-layer Anti-Reflective (AR) mirror coating to absorb back light effects. A permanent hydroleophobic coating protects the lens and mirror coatings by repelling water, dirt, fingerprints, and grease.
CARBONIC
UNSURPASSED IMPACT AND SCRATCH RESISTANCE
Impact resistant polarized optics providing great value and glare reduction.
CARBONIC TLT
Engineered to be the most impact resistant lens material in the world, Carbonic TLT lenses are optically corrected to maximize visual clarity and object definition. Carbonic TLT polarized and non-polarized lenses are ideal for sport and casual use.
CR39
BRILLIANT OPTICS MEETS MODERN FASHION
CR39 is a lightweight advanced polymer that has a high abrasion and scratch resistance. Fashion forward colorations and gradient fades complement excellent optical clarity.


This summer, SEE THE FISH!!!!
Happy Memorial DAY!!!!
