Making the jump from protecting the mouth to protecting
the head was easy for Dr. Bob Smith, the father of Smith goggles and sunglasses.
Aside from having an inherent desire to keep vital parts safe from the
world outside the mouth, Smith wanted to get better eye protection while
he was skiing. Rather than sit around and wait for someone else to do it
though, he created his own, in his kitchen with dental tools.
Thus was born the first Thermal Lens goggle, with a sealed double lens
and breathable vent foam. And in 1965, after spending time skiing and trading
his new product for lift tickets, Smith Optics Inc. was born.
In its relatively young lifetime, Smith has captured a huge share of the market for eyewear, starting with only four polarized styles in the 1980s. Fast-forward to 1995 when the Slider 01 was born, the first shade with interchangeable lenses. The design took off faster than fireworks, and the growth hasn't stopped.
For 2007, Smith lets loose the new Interlock Interchangeable system, an innovation to the interchangeable idea. With a twist of a temple, the frame 'opens' up and - presto! - you easily switch your lens.
