For those long days where you beat the sun to the trail, get to watch the world wake up from above the treeline, cross a glacier in bright sun, bag the peak, then head back to start, these sunnies will protect your eyes from first light to when you’re starting to think about your headlamp. Outfitted with photochromic lenses, the Embark sunglasses evolve with your day, light under the trees, darker when the sun starts to really shine, and then fully dark, down to 7% visible light transmission – about half that of your average sunnies, for those dazzlingly bright snow fields. The lenses also use Smith’s clever ChromaPop technology, which offers exceptional clarity, high contrast, and colour optimization in challenging light conditions, throughout the entire photochromic range.
