ChromaPop Clarity Built for Water and Life
The Smith Embark Polarized Sunglasses pair a sleek, full-rim frame with Smith's ChromaPop polarized lens technology so every session on the water, trail, or pavement comes through sharper and more vivid. ChromaPop enhances natural color contrast and filters the two wavelengths of light that cause the most visual confusion, giving you detail and depth that standard polarized lenses cannot match.
Polarized Lenses That Go Beyond Glare Reduction
Polarization in the Embark goes further than simply cutting surface glare. The ChromaPop filter selectively removes the light scatter responsible for muddying contrast, so the horizon line reads clean, boat wakes pop, and wet road surfaces stop washing out your depth perception. On the water this translates directly into sharper reads of conditions and better reaction time.
Frame Design and Fit
The Embark is built on a lightweight, full-rim frame geometry that balances coverage with an everyday wearable profile. The temples and nose bridge are shaped to stay put during activity without creating pressure points during long wear. The fit is relaxed enough for all-day use on the dock or behind the wheel, and secure enough to hold through moderate water activity.
Lens Care and Maintenance
Rinse the lenses with fresh water after saltwater exposure and dry them with the included microfiber bag or a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid leaving the sunglasses on a dashboard in direct sun for extended periods, as prolonged high heat can affect lens coatings. Store them in the included case when not in use to prevent scratching.
