SMITH OPTICS. elite 2011Premium OPtics meets Premium PrOtectiOn

since 1965, smith Optics’ mission has been to design, engineer, and manufacture the

world’s highest performing eyewear for those whose success and survival depends on

clear vision. Our dedication to innovative technologies and unmatched dependability,

designed and tested in the field, has made us the choice of athletes, adventurers, and

explorers worldwide. smith’s heritage rests on a legacy of producing exceptional

products that answer the questions that have been asked. smith elite carries this

history forward, focused on the same goal with a new kind of athlete in mind.

through innovation, engineering, and integration our mission is to deliver the

highest performing ballistic eye protection available to the tactical athlete.

PrOTeCTIOn IS ParaMOunTterms like mil spec and ansi z87.1 describe ballistic protection by defining impact resistance of a projectile at a predetermined velocity. We use aggressive research and testing to deliver materials that don’t just meet standards, they outclass them. Our lenses are engineered to absorb impacts that exceed requirements with optimized optical clarity. You don’t settle for just getting by and neither do we.

LenS MaTerIaLQuality materials help us achieve our goal of premium protection. We use top grade polycarbonate in our tactical core lenses and a proprietary polymer material in our tactical Lifestyle lenses.

impacted by a 0.22 caliber, 17 grain, t37 shaped projectile. impacted by a 0.15 caliber, 5.8 grain, t37 shaped projectile.

enGIneerInG Our engineers love nothing more than violent impact. in our lab we are constantly testing impact resistance, optical quality, fog time, abrasion resistance, and light transmission to ensure consistent dependability at the leading edge of product design. Our engineers make sure we get the results so you can focus on the mission.

sChOOl Of desigNsmith elite takes the concept of integration to a new level by adopting the military’s Human

systems integration (Hsi) process. this approach takes human variables such as fit, optical

performance, ballistic performance, integrated equipment, and weapons interface into account

to refine a product’s functionality across the spectrum of factors. We design specifically to

optimize performance allowing real-world testing to drive the product’s evolution.

LenS COaTInGSFogging is performance inhibiting, annoying, and dangerous. We know more about fog prevention than anyone. We were founded with the invention of the non-fogging goggle over 45 years ago. Our anti-fog technologies keep your line of sight crystal clear, so all you have to think about is your objective.

TaPereD LenS TeCHnOLOGY—TLT OPTICSDistortion occurs whenever light passes through any medium, including curved lenses. We virtually eliminate all optical distortion with tLt (tapered Lens technology) Optics. tLt Optics progressively attunes lens thickness from lens center to the periphery, straightening light rays before they enter the eye so what you see is 100% of what you get.

smith elite is introducing the fastest and easiest lens interchange system available. PivLock technology is the ultimate combination of performance and style and it’s a smith exclusive. We have incorporated the PivLock Lens interchange technology in both the Aegis eyeshield (p.09) and the new Factor and Factor max tactical sunglasses (p.15). You have more important things to do with your time than messing around with a lens. Flip, switch, and get to it.

Over 30 years ago, smith Optics introduced turbo Fan technology. We now incorporate this fog-killing innovation in the elite tactical core product line. A micro electronic fan efficiently and silently evacuates moist air from the goggle chamber to keep you fog free. Our system exhausts 50% more air volume at a 40% lower decibel level than the competition. so sweat it out. the OtW turbo Fan will be there to keep it under control.
