Variable light conditions make the Photocromic lemses a perfect choice for hikes and random short ski tours in PNW, i usually use the Persuits but wanted something with more airflow which these excelled in.

Wildcat Photo Chromic

Great fit and really love the photo chromic lenses. On my second pair as one of the arms broke when folding up and putting in my helmet.

Fabulous sunglasses. I have a smaller frame face and often have sunglasses fall off my face. These have a great fit, full protection. I can wear them for every task. The clear lenses are great for ski touring at night and biking!

Great glasses and they work really well with my prescription inserts. The lenses are top quality and the fit is awesome.

Best Of The Best

Fit perfectly, lightweight and comfortable, work seamless with most helmets. Including my Forefront 3.

Bad Quality Arms Snap Off

Extremely BAD quality for what it is worth. I had 2 pairs that lasted 3 months each because the arm snapped off. Will DEFINITELY NOT be buying another one.

Not Durable X Awful Warranty Program

Second pair of Wildcats has failed the exact same way as the first - with the cheap plastic hinges shearing off (feel free to search on google/reddit to see tons of similar examples). Rather than acknowledge the design flaw, the warranty dept attributed the break to "misuse, abuse, or negligence" and offered a worthless discount off MSRP. The worst part is the broken arm could easily be replaced as only a single screw attaches it to the frame. I loved these glasses for mountain biking and backcountry skiing - however I would not recommend them to anyone who partakes in the former. Vision is so important before dropping in to a committing line and pulling these out of the case to find the arm detached can really mess with your day out.

Great Sunglasses!

Can't wait to try them on the mountain bike trail!

Perfection

I love these glasses! I mainly use them on my road bike and they never fog up or have sweat run down the inside of the lens. Last summer during a bike race my friend with a different brand was always having to fuss with his glasses, I never had to touch mine.

These Are Exactly What I

These are exactly what I was looking for. I wish the lenses could be switched out quicker and hopefully that will be an option in the future. They look great and provide excellent coverage.

Great Frames For A Bit And Then Disintegrated

These frames started awesome (I have the pink/blue ones), so much that I also purchased the photocromic lenses. Use for MTB and backcountry skiing. Noticed that the frame color started to fade and got "sticky" so the material was deteriorating. Smith said wasn't covered under warranty. Lame. Beware of longevity.

Smith Will Not Honor Warranty Claims

Loved these glasses but the hinge gave out on me. I completely expected that the issue would be covered by the Smith lifetime warranty but they denied my claim saying the issue was not covered under their warranty. I feel their warranty policy is grossly misleading and I'm sad they do not stand by their products like other outdoor brands.

Far Better Options For The Price

Poor fit and mediocre lens compared to similarly priced brands. I tried to get used to these for about two months before ditching them for Oakley Sutros. The Wildcat frames are definitely in my peripheral view for biking and the upper lens will touch my eyebrows leaving a nice smudge every time I wear them. The frames also did not fit under my Smith brand helmet. They helped block the wind a little bit but did not prevent my eyes from watering. My first ride with the Sutros I forgot I had them on they were so comfortable, my eyes did not water, and their Prizm lens tech is far superior, no comparison.

Perfect For Triathlons

I’ve been training in these both bike and running. And wore them through my bike and run in my last Triathlon. Didn’t move an inch, light weight, comfortable and have a wide visibility range. Highly recommend.

Smith Wildcat Will Fail You.

The arm of my wildcats snapped when using them as designed with a Smith bike helmet. I contacted Smith to ask for a warranty/repair/replacement. They refused and accused me of misuse. Smith; your products are breaking when used as designed and your lifetime warranty is a joke. i’m a long term Smith customer and professional outdoor professional and advise anyone reading this to look elsewhere.
