"The technology that was patented by Smith back in the 90s was something new to the world of sunglasses. The Sliders brought a flexible frame with interchangeable lenses. They worked perfectly; you could easily slide lenses in and out, and the lenses were held securely to the frame during heavy use. Additionally, they came with three different lenses, essentially providing three pairs of quality sunglasses for the price of one."
"The new Sliders are now upgraded with Smith's ChromaPop. ChromaPop is a lens technology that enhances color, clarity, and definition by filtering out color wavelength crossovers. The included interchangeable lenses come with a custom archive storage pouch that utilizes built-in lens pockets. The new Sliders now also include upgraded Megol nose and temple pads, to keep the glasses on your noggin' even during the hardest efforts."
Originally released in 1995, the Smith Sliders introduced a flexible frame with interchangeable lenses that securely held lenses during heavy use. The design included three lenses, providing versatile sun, low-light, and clear options favored by outdoor guides, climbers, hikers, and cyclists. The Sliders' interchangeable-lens technology became a blueprint for later designs such as Pivlock and MAG. The modern Sliders add ChromaPop lenses for enhanced color, clarity, and definition, upgraded Megol nose and temple pads, and a custom archive storage pouch with built-in lens pockets. Specs list 44mm lens height, 65mm lens width, 15mm bridge, 130mm temple, and a $197 retail price.
