Product Information
Full details
The Smith Bobcat sunglasses are designed for active outdoor enthusiasts, including enduro mountain bikers and gravel cyclists, who require maximum field of vision and reliable eye protection. By blending the extensive coverage of a goggle with the lightweight comfort of performance sunglasses, the Bobcat ensures you stay protected on technical terrain while enhancing trail contrast; however, the larger profile may not suit those looking for a minimalist aesthetic.

FAQs
Are the lenses polarized?
The Smith Bobcat utilizes ChromaPop technology, which provides clarity and color enhancement; refer to the specific lens packaging as some variants are polarized while others are designed for specific high-contrast performance.
Can I wear these under a helmet?
Yes, the temples are designed to be slim and compatible with most cycling and mountain bike helmets.
What comes in the box?
The set includes the main ChromaPop bright light lens installed, an interchangeable clear lens, a hard performance case, and a microfiber storage pouch.
How do I adjust the nose pads?
The nose pads feature two positions; simply apply firm but gentle pressure to click them into the desired width setting.
Are these glasses suitable for hiking?
Absolutely, the wraparound design and lightweight construction make them an excellent choice for hikers who need protection from high-altitude sun and wind.
Troubleshooting
Lenses are fogging up during a ride
Ensure that no debris is blocking the strategic frame vents and adjust the nose pads to move the frames slightly further from your face for increased airflow.
Sunglasses slipping during activity
Clean the Megol rubber temple tips with water and a mild soap to remove oil and sweat buildup, which restores their natural tackiness.
Difficulty swapping lenses
Ensure you are using the AutoLock hinges to keep the frame in a stable position and apply even, gentle pressure to the lens edges rather than pulling the frame excessively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Smith Bobcat sunglasses last, store them in the included performance hard case when not in use. To change the lenses, gently pull the frame edge away from the lens while applying light pressure to the lens edges. Use only the included microfiber pouch to clean the lenses, as abrasive materials can scratch the specialized coatings. Periodically check the two-position nose pads and adjust them to your preferred width to maintain a secure, custom fit on the bridge of your nose.
