About

Smith is a manufacturer of sports and optics equipment, specializing in ski goggles and sunglasses. Founded in 1965 by Dr. Bob Smith, an orthodontist and skiing enthusiast, the company revolutionized the industry with its sealed thermal lens and breathable vent foam design. Smith has since continued to innovate, introducing landmark technologies such as the Turbo Fan anti-fog system, Roll Off lens film, and ChromaPop lens technology. The company operates from its manufacturing headquarters in Clearfield, Utah, and employs 150 passionate workers from 19 nationalities. Smith Optics has some sunglasses made in the USA; however, it looks like some models are made in Asia or Italy these days.
