Good coverage as glasses, but lens replacement is a drag and frame feels like I'll break them
Just picked these up last week, they have been really nice while wearing them. However, the plastic feels a little flimsy and the lens swapping is a pain in the a**. There's no way to replace the lenses without getting fingerprints all over, and every time I swap them I am scared that I'm going to break the frame.

Review of glasses when on: 4.5/5
Review of glasses when swapping lenses: 1/5

Great glasses
These Bobcat's are the bomb. I am a big guy that runs hot when biking and find that most sunglasses fog up easily. The Bobcats have enough air flow to make sure that does not happen. Really happy with the photochromatic option so I am not changes lenses on the ride.

Great fit, crisp vision, stick to your face!
Very impressed! I previously used the Attack for mountain biking and found just a bit too much wind was getting in my eyes. I was going to go with the Wildcat, but after seeing that this pair is designed for narrower faces I'm glad I went with the Bobcat instead! I do love the maroon color. The blue lense is no where near as an intense blue in regular lighting, if anything it just looks brown. The vision is just as clear and crisp as you'd expect from Smith. These do fit under the visor for storing during climbs and never budged. They are super light and thin, but I wasn't worried changing lenses since the pair seems so well made. Very, very happy with my Bobcats!

Love These!
I've been wavering about getting sport specific sunglasses for a long time because I always think they look so intense or a bit ridiculous, but these seemed like a nice middle ground so ordered them online. I have done a few rides in them now, including an Enduro race, and LOVE them. They are light and comfortable, and it almost seems like I'm not wearing any glasses with such a big uninterrupted lens. The transition lens is great for trail riding. Highly recommend!

Very happy with these. I have been backcountry skiing with these around 6 times. They fit my smaller face perfectly.if they fog they clear quickly

High quality, better quality than Wildcat
I purchased these for my wife. I own the Wildcats, but they sit too big on her face. I ordered these because they seemed like a smaller version of the wildcat... which they are, but I have also found them to be a bit better quality. They are a harder plastic and feel more solid. Not that the wildcats are not solid, but these feel like a step above. If these fit my large face, I would probably prefer them.

Long story short, very high quality and they seem like they will last a long time. Don't order if you have a large face, but should fit women and some men better than wildcats.

Great fit
The new wildcat frame is perfect for women.
The fit is excellent and the lens coverage prevents the sun from getting in your eyes even while in aero position on the bike. Changing lens is a little more difficult than with pivot lock system but still fairly simple.
Highly recommend

Good multi sport
They really are great for both skiing and biking. Wore them on a ski tour on a cold clear day and when I transitioned to ski down I opted to keep them on instead of changing to my googles. They were great. Went biking with them and they are really great with the transition lenses. I got the black because the extra transition lenses were out of stock and the black are the only ones that come with transition lenses as a base model. I would have gone for a different color frame but I still fully enjoy them.

Unsatisfied: nice style but terrible lens quality
I like the fit and the style of the sunglasses. Unfortunately the quality of the lenses is just not there. I bought a pair of Bobcats with black Chromapop lenses in late 2022 and the lenses were delaminating just over a year later. I submitted a warranty claim, they replaced the lenses but not until after I was required to scratch large 'X's into the lenses, rendering them useless, and charged me $25 shipping. As these were my daily riding sunglasses it was pretty frustrating to be without a pair while they shipped me a new lens. To make matters worse, less than a year later the lenses are delaminating again. I am extremely unsatisfied with the quality, I would have expected much more from a pair of $265 sunglasses. This is my third pair of Smith's that have delaminated; needless to say I will not be buying another pair and would recommend others avoid them as well.
