Redding 2

My third pair

I’m outrageously hard on sunglasses - fly fishing guide in summer, ski instructor in winter. Glasses take a beating and I still demand top grade optics and polarization. The Redding 2 lives up to all of it and delivers. Hope this pair doesn’t wind up on the bottom of the Colorado River.

Redding 2

The Redding 2’s were part of a warranty puchase as my previous Smith glasses broke (Evolve Chamber TLT Polarchromic Glass Moss Green). The Polarchromic/polarized glass on the Smith Optics are once again superior to the products of the competition! However, I am pretty disappointed in the flimsy frames on the Redding 2’s. They don’t feel as if they are going to withstand the years of wear, that my previous Smith’s provided.

Great sunnies and fantastic customer support

I broke my older pair of Redding and got great support from customer service replacing them. And the lenses are perfect for skiing in low light, e. g. when it is snowing heavily. They make the terrain pop.
