“I have approximately a 24"/61cm round head and these fit comfortably and snugly for biking or other physical activities. However even though Smith offer larger XL frame sizes in many of their styles and these fit as expected, I feel these could be offered in an even bigger, wider size. These fit very similarly to the Shift XL Mag even though that model is considered an XL frame. They should show a "temple to temple" dimension as lens width doesn't give you the whole picture. I guess what I'd like to see is an XXL of the Leadout Pivlock that is wider in particular, for better coverage. Other than that, I think Smith could offer an even darker lens option to their darkest 10% VLT, like an 8% or even less - I only wear sunglasses when it's really sunny after all and 10% is sometimes not enough.”
“The Smith Vert PivLock running sunglasses initially proved to be a fantastic companion during my runs. Their lightweight design, clarity of lenses, and adjustable features made them a go-to choice for outdoor activities, particularly running. The PivLock system allowed quick lens changes, adapting easily to varying light conditions without compromising on comfort or stability.
However, despite their impressive performance, my experience was downturned when one of the temple arms unexpectedly came off and got lost. The durability of these sunglasses became a major concern, and unfortunately, the lack of replacement arms from the manufacturer left me in a bind. This incident rendered the sunglasses unusable, and the inability to find replacement parts significantly impacted the overall satisfaction with the product.
While the Smith Vert PivLock sunglasses excelled in functionality and performance, the issue with the temple arm's durability and the unavailability of replacement parts raises significant concerns about their long-term reliability and customer support. For runners or outdoor enthusiasts considering these sunglasses, be aware of this potential drawback when purchasing.”

“I tried the VERT glasses for the first time at L’Etape du Tour and I was instantly blown away, I didn’t think it was possible to have a new favourite pair of glasses (my go to being the bobcats) but these tick all the boxes for me, good looks, lightweight and great quality. You almost forget they’re there because they’re so light and you can just focus on doing your thing I’m looking forward to trying them out running too!”
