Gear Review: Smith Pavilion
Lightweight, rugged shades that work for city or trail
Here’s an urban/wilderness interface we can get behind. The Smith Pavilion—with low weight, and shatter-resistant lenses—has everything you need without the gear-wonk look. Tapered Lens Technology eliminates distortion, which is common in curved optics.
From paddling Florida’s panhandle to hiking France’s Aubrac region, testers loved the top-notch clarity and unencumbered peripheral vision of the brown lenses. $123; 1 oz.; smithoptics.com
