Smith Sunglasses - High-Quality Trusted Eyewear

Smith was founded in 1965 by Dr. Bob Smith, an orthodontist and avid skier. Dr. Smith was frustrated with the goggles and sunglasses available at the time, which didn't provide adequate protection or performance for outdoor sports enthusiasts. So he set out to create a better solution. His first product was hand built in his dental office - the first sealed thermal lens and breathable vent foam goggles. He began working out of his garage and selling them out of his van on weekend ski trips in Utah and Colorado. Bob Smith was refining the goggle design. Taking his innovation, he started producing his 'Smith Original Ski Goggles' in 1969 in Colorado before moving to Idaho in 1971.

By 1979, Smith had introduced the 'Turbo Fan' constant air management system, which operated a micro-fan just on the brow of the goggle. This was the first goggle with an active ventilation system. This intention was followed by the 'Roll Off Film' in 1984, which was designed for moto goggles that would provide riders with mud and dust-free vision on demand.
