DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Smith Outrigger Performance Water sunglasses deliver serious fishing optics in a progressive navigator shape that works just as well off the water. Built for anglers who demand clarity and all-day comfort, these polarized sunglasses feature Smith's ChromaPop lens technology—a proprietary system that filters out wavelengths at 480nm and 580nm to eliminate color confusion and help you see fish, structure, and depth with exceptional definition.

ChromaPop Technology: See What You've Been Missing

ChromaPop isn't just marketing. The technology selectively blocks overlapping light wavelengths where blue meets green and red meets green, allowing your brain to process truer, more vibrant color faster. For sight fishing, that means spotting tailing permit on the flats or reading current seams becomes noticeably easier. Available in both ChromaPop Glass Polarized (highly scratch-resistant mineral glass) and ChromaPop Polarized (lighter polycarbonate) options, the lenses also feature smudge- and moisture-resistant coatings so you spend less time wiping and more time watching the water.

Built for the Water, Ready for Anywhere

The Outrigger's medium-large rectangular frame offers generous coverage with a modest 6-base wrap and integrated slim side shields that cut peripheral glare without looking aggressive. Megol rubber temple tips and nose pads provide a non-slip grip even when wet, while self-adjusting spring hinges ensure a snug fit across different face shapes. The frames are made from Evolve bio-based material—lightweight, durable, and leash-compatible for added security on the boat.

Reviewers consistently note the Outrigger's versatile aesthetic. One tester noted the frames are

"solid feeling right out of the box, but they're still light and not too bulky."
Whether you're scanning for risers at dawn or running errands after a morning session, the progressive shape transitions easily between performance and everyday wear.

Prescription-Ready Performance

The Smith Outrigger is available with prescription lenses, so you don't have to choose between clear vision and polarized protection. Smith custom-makes Rx lenses in their Utah facility, and the frames are compatible with single-vision and progressive prescriptions. FSA and HSA eligible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Smith Outrigger sunglasses available with prescription lenses?

Yes, the Smith Outrigger is available with prescription lenses through Smith's Rx program and authorized optical retailers. Smith custom-makes prescription lenses in their Utah facility, and the frames are compatible with single-vision and progressive prescriptions. The prescription version (Outrigger Rx) features the same ChromaPop polarized lens technology and frame design as the standard model. Prescription eyewear purchases are also eligible for FSA and HSA reimbursement.

What is ChromaPop lens technology and how does it help with fishing?

ChromaPop is Smith's proprietary lens technology that filters out specific wavelengths of light (480nm and 580nm) where color confusion occurs. By blocking these overlapping wavelengths, ChromaPop lenses help your eyes distinguish true colors faster and see greater detail and contrast. For fishing, this means you can more easily spot fish beneath the surface, read water depth and structure, and reduce eye fatigue during long days on the water.

What's the difference between ChromaPop Glass and ChromaPop Polarized lenses?

ChromaPop Glass Polarized lenses are made from mineral glass and offer the highest scratch resistance and optical clarity, though they're slightly heavier. ChromaPop Polarized lenses use polycarbonate material, making them lighter and more impact-resistant while still delivering the same color-filtering technology. Both options cut glare and enhance contrast; glass is ideal if you prioritize durability and clarity, while polycarbonate works better if you want the lightest possible weight.

What size face do Smith Outrigger sunglasses fit?

The Smith Outrigger is designed for a medium to large fit with large coverage. The frames feature a 6-base lens curvature and a modest wraparound fit that provides good sun protection without feeling overly aggressive. Spring hinges allow the temples to self-adjust to your face for a customized, comfortable fit. If you have a smaller face, consider the Smith Guide's Choice S, which offers similar features in a scaled-down frame.

Do Smith Outrigger sunglasses have side shields?

Yes, the Smith Outrigger features integrated slim side shields that reduce reflective glare and provide peripheral light protection. The side shields are subtle and built into the frame design, so they block stray light from the sides without looking bulky or overly sporty. This makes them effective for cutting glare on the water while maintaining a clean, versatile look for everyday wear.

Are Smith Outrigger frames eco-friendly?

Yes, the Smith Outrigger frames are made from Evolve bio-based material, which is a sustainable, plant-based frame material that reduces reliance on petroleum-based plastics. Despite being eco-friendly, Evolve material is lightweight and durable enough for demanding water sports and fishing applications. The frames also feature Megol rubber nose pads and temple grips for secure, non-slip performance.

Smith Outrigger vs Guide's Choice vs Guide's Choice XL: Which Fishing Sunglass Is Right for You?

If you're shopping Smith's performance water sunglasses, you're likely deciding between the Outrigger, the Guide's Choice, and the Guide's Choice XL. All three feature ChromaPop polarized lenses and are built for serious fishing, but they differ in coverage, fit, and versatility.

Smith Outrigger: The Versatile All-Rounder

The Outrigger strikes the best balance between fishing performance and everyday wearability. Its medium-large rectangular frame with a modest 6-base wrap and slim side shields cuts glare effectively without the aggressive look of a dedicated fishing frame. The progressive navigator shape transitions easily from the boat to casual settings, making it ideal if you want one pair that works for fishing trips and daily wear. At $217–$277, it's competitively priced and lighter than the Guide's Choice models.

Smith Guide's Choice: Maximum Coverage for Serious Anglers

The Guide's Choice is Smith's flagship fishing sunglass, favored by professional guides for its wide temples and aggressive 8-base wrap that blocks more peripheral light. It includes a detachable integrated leash and is available with PolarChromic lenses that auto-adjust tint. If you spend full days on the water and prioritize maximum sun protection over casual versatility, the Guide's Choice delivers. However, it's bulkier, heavier, and pricier ($192.75–$327) than the Outrigger.

Smith Guide's Choice XL: For Larger Faces and Maximum Protection

The Guide's Choice XL offers the same premium features as the standard Guide's Choice but in an extra-large frame for bigger faces. It provides the most coverage in Smith's water line, making it ideal for all-day fishing in intense sun. The tradeoff is less versatility for everyday wear and added weight, especially with glass lenses.

Our Recommendation

Choose the Outrigger if you want a versatile fishing sunglass that looks good off the water and offers excellent ChromaPop optics in a lighter, more modern frame. Choose the Guide's Choice if you're a dedicated angler who prioritizes maximum coverage and proven performance over casual wearability. Choose the Guide's Choice XL if you have a larger face or want the absolute most sun protection Smith offers.

The Smith Riptide is another solid option in a similar price range if you prefer a different frame aesthetic, though it offers less coverage than the Outrigger.
