The Smith Lowdown 2 is one of our favorite pairs of sunglasses, thanks to thoughtful features like nose and temple grips that get tackier when wet. But these wayfarer-style shades really shine—or rather cut the glare—thanks to the anti-scratch, polarized ChromaPop lenses. They clarify muddled colors that result when blue, green, and red light waves intersect, like when you’re looking at snow fields. Normally these 1-ounce sunglasses are $149, but REI has them at 40 percent off right now, making them just $88.73 in both the men’s and women’s versions.Â
