Transfer XL is a sized-up version of the Transfer with a larger fit for those that require extra coverage. The Transfer and Transfer XL are our first sunglasses to feature our new Smith QuickFit adjustable temples. A wire-core like mechanism molded within performance megol temples allows for comfortable adjustability and optimal fit with varying head sizes. This full coverage 8 base design also has megol nose pads, available ChromaPop lenses, and is leash compatible to help ensure your sunglasses don’t end up at the bottom of the sea.
Make the details pop and cut the glare through our impact-resistant carbonic lenses.
Our ChromaPop Polarized lenses are optically tuned to give you visual comfort and impact protection with enhanced glare reduction – while also offering antireflective, water and oil resistant coatings. 100% UV protection.
A traditional neutral gray base lens that is fine-tuned with a green hue to amplify the colors of life outdoors, and then augmented with the ChromaPop color enhancement technology for maximum clarity allowing you to effortlessly see more detail. This lens is polarized and built on our carbonic platform. Provides 100% protection from harmful UVA/B/C rays.
VLT = 15%
Polarization cuts glare. Glare off of horizontal surfaces like snow, water, and asphalt, decreases depth perception, and reduces visual acuity which causes eye fatigue. We precisely align the polarized visual layer inside our lenses to filter out 99.9% of this “visual static” for a finely tuned view of the action.
With Smith Polarchromic, we combine the glare-free benefits of advanced polarization with UV sensitive, self-tint-adjusting photochromic technology to bring you lenses that adapt to changing light conditions, so you always have the perfect tint for the amount of light.
When light passes through a medium it refracts, i.e. changes course. If left uncorrected, this refraction can cause visual distortion and eye fatigue. Smith’s Tapered Lens Technology straightens out the incoming light rays by progressively tapering the lens from the optical center toward the peripheral view. What this means for you is that you see with 100% accuracy and maximum comfort.
Repels moisture, grease, and grime. A barrier between your lenses and the world. Water will bead up and disperse without streaking. Smudges from fingerprints are wiped clean easily.
Vacuum applied, Anti-Reflective (A/R) coatings on the back side of the lens will eliminate bothersome sidelight reflections.
The amount of light allowed into the lens is called Visible Light Transmission or VLT. The higher the VLT, the lighter the lens tint. Bright conditions require a low VLT and darker conditions need a higher VLT. SMITH offers a VLT range from 9% with their Sun lenses and up to a 50% VLT in the Storm lenses.

ChromaPop, Techlite glass and Carbonic lens constructions are optimized to provide a variety of optical and impact-resistant benefits. We precisely align the finest polarized filters and finish our lenses with multi-layer mirror, Anti-Reflective (A/R), anti-scratch, and Hydroleophobic lens coatings. The end result is an artfully crafted lens that preserves color perception and delivers optimized optical clarity and precision in all environments.
