Constantly striving to create innovative products made to the highest standards possible, Smith Optics have been crafting some of the world's best goggles, helmets and sunglasses since 1965.
Smith Optics was started in 1965 by Dr Bob Smith who created the world's first thermal goggle lens with breathable foam. An orthodontist by trade, Dr Bob made most of his original goggles around the kitchen table with help from friends before selling them out the back of his van (when he wasn't trading them for lift tickets!) After securing a manufacturing contract, Smith goggles and sunglasses exploded onto the scene, becoming an instant success.
Today Smith Optics are still based in Sun Valley, Idaho and continue to produce some of the world's most high-tech and innovative products for the winter sports market. From breathable goggle lenses with the world's best anti-fog to incredible helmets with space-age constructions. Known for the impeccably high standards they apply to everything they do, Smith continue to revolutionise the industry and push the boundaries of our sport.
