The Smith Layback Polarized Sunglasses, a Classic Pilot Shape
Anyone typing smith layback sunglasses or smith layback review into search is landing on a lightweight metal frame pilot shape with large coverage and unisex appeal, available in a choice of standard Carbonic lenses or ChromaPop polarized lenses that reduce glare and enhance color.
What It Is Made Of
- ChromaPop polarized lenses cut glare and enhance color and contrast; Carbonic lenses offer impact resistance and clear optics
- Metal frame with acetate temple tips
- Silicone nose pads for a comfortable fit
- Spring hinges that self adjust to your face for a snug fit
Fit is medium with large coverage, and a 6-base lens curvature is built just right for everyday wear.
Who These Are For
The Layback's large coverage and lightweight metal frame make it a fit for anyone who wants a classic pilot silhouette that still holds up to active use on South Florida water or a boat deck, where the spring hinges self adjust to face shape rather than relying on a single fixed fit. Choosing the ChromaPop polarized lens option adds glare reduction for time spent on bright water.
How to Wear and Care for Them
The spring hinges are designed to self adjust as you put them on, so let them settle into place rather than forcing a fit, and use the silicone nose pads' natural grip rather than pushing the frame down. Store and clean the lenses with a proper microfiber cloth to protect the Carbonic or ChromaPop lens coating.
