Product Information

Full details

The Smith Bobcat sunglasses are designed for active outdoor enthusiasts, including enduro mountain bikers, gravel riders, and backcountry skiers who need the expansive coverage of a goggle combined with the lightweight ventilation of a sunglass. These shades excel at providing high-definition vision and a secure fit during intense physical activity, though users should be aware that the larger lens profile may feel substantial on smaller facial structures compared to traditional minimalist glasses.

FAQs

Are the lenses polarized?

The Smith Bobcat series utilizes ChromaPop technology, which provides enhanced contrast and clarity; check the specific packaging for polarization status as it varies by individual lens tint.

Can I use these for other sports besides cycling?

Yes, the coverage and secure fit make them excellent for trail running, backcountry skiing, and any outdoor activity where protection and clarity are essential.

What should I do if the lenses get scratched?

While the lenses are durable, they are not scratch-proof. If deep scratches occur, replacement lenses are often available through Smith authorized retailers to restore vision quality.

Is the clear lens included in the box?

Yes, every pair of Smith Bobcat sunglasses includes a bonus clear lens specifically for use in low-light or dark conditions.

How do I clean the frame?

Use warm water and a mild, non-abrasive soap to wipe down the frame. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, clean cloth.

Troubleshooting

Lens is fogging up during use

Ensure that your helmet fit is not blocking the top vents of the sunglasses and check that no sweat is accumulating directly on the brow-contact area.

Sunglasses sliding down the nose

Adjust the two-position nose pads to a tighter setting or clean the Megol nose pad surfaces with mild soap to remove any skin oils that might reduce grip.

Difficulty changing the lens

Ensure you are applying firm, even pressure to the frame and lens. If the lens feels stuck, check that it is fully seated in the frame channel before attempting to release the locking points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent peripheral coverage similar to goggles
  • ChromaPop lens provides sharp, vibrant clarity
  • Stays secure on the face during rough descents
  • Includes a bonus clear lens for versatility
  • Ventilation effectively reduces fogging

Cons

  • Larger lens profile may not fit every face shape
  • Requires careful handling when swapping lenses
  • More substantial than minimalist lightweight eyewear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, adjust the two-position nose pads by gently clicking them into the setting that keeps the lens at the optimal distance from your cheeks. When cleaning the lenses, always use the provided microfiber pouch to avoid scratching the high-definition coating; avoid using abrasive cloths or household glass cleaners. To change the lens, carefully grip the frame at the bridge and pull slightly to release the tension while sliding the lens out of the grooves. Store the glasses in the included performance hard case when not in use to maintain the integrity of the frame and lenses during travel.
