The story behind the frame
Smith Optics was founded in 1965 by Dr. Bob Smith, who developed some of the first ski goggles with vented, double-layer lenses to reduce fogging. The brand later expanded into sunglasses for skiing, biking, and outdoor sports.
The Lowdown 2 is Smith's everyday square, made with a bio-based frame material and ChromaPop polarized lenses designed to boost contrast and color. Read about contrast lenses in lens colors explained.
