“Side panels block peripheral vision. They are attached to the glasses in a complicated way that provides no benefit over just having wide flares on the arms. They aren't easily removable.... Smith has better, cleaner glasses and more of a wraparound would protect from the wind while still allowing peripheral vision.”
“Tried them on and was really hoping they would fit my face (Asian face with high cheek bones), but unfortunately they don’t really fit well and are uncomfortable. There is a lot of pressure on the cheeks.
Additionally the shields seem really difficult to remove.”
“The field of vision is insane. I wear these for all types of winter and summer activities. The lenses change perfectly to adapt to changing light and the fit is great.”
“I guess I have a skinny head or nose because when I hike and look down to see where I am going, the glasses fall down my nose. I wish there were another nosepad in the case or an a way to adjust the fit.. if you have a skinny nose or head I wouldn’t buy these.
I’m not sure how the chroma works but it seems like in a vehicle they don’t work as well with lens changes as compared to being outside exposed to the rays.
Unfortunately I cannot return as I’ve passed the timeframe and have used the glasses on a hike.”

“Loving these shades for spring skiing. The side shields block out a lot of the wind compared to Wildcat. This made a big difference in the comfort of my contact lenses. Photochromic lenses worked great is varying light conditions. Can't wait to try them on the ebike this summer.”
“As an avid skier and backcountry enthusiast, I knew I needed reliable and high-performance sunglasses for my latest expedition in the Pacific Northwest. That's when I came across Pursuit sunglasses, and I'm so glad I did!
I was blown away by the clarity, detail, and lens category range (1 to 4) of the Glacier Photochromic lens. In flat light conditions, the copper lens tint, combined with ChromaPop technology, provided a warmer and more vivid view, bringing out more detail in the terrain. But what really impressed me was how well these glasses performed in super bright and sunny conditions. The lens base turned to a dark gray in the dark state, and the enhanced mirror coating reduced glare while simultaneously enhancing visibility to a whole new level. It was a game-changer!
The side shields and nose guard complete the package perfectly, providing extra protection from light, wind, and snow, while the goggle like retainer, together with the adjustable temples, helps keep the frame in place. These features make the Pursuit the ultimate choice for any backcountry skier.
Overall, I highly recommend the Pursuit to any backcountry enthusiast looking for unbeatable performance in every light condition!”
“I am pretty bummed about these. I think they have a lot of good features and hopefully in future iterations they can get these working well. For me though I have some major issues. First, it takes a LOT of effort to get the magnetic side shields off the glasses. They seemed to have been manufactured in a way that is incorrect for removal which leads me to my second issue... They fog like CRAZY. Due to the size of the lens and more enclosed design if you run hot you are gonna run into some issues especially without being able to remove the side shields. I really wish I had purchased a wildcat or embark as I think the photochromatic lens is cool but otherwise this product hasn't done the trick.”
