Smith Syncline Oversized Cycling Sunglasses Review - feat. Goggle Shape + ChromaPop #cycling

The new Smith Syncline sunglasses are one of Smith’s largest sunglasses in their lineup with a google-like design for complete coverage. It's a big pair of sunglasses that focuses on performance with ChromaPop lenses and modern design and technology instead of modernizing a retro design. The standard ChromaPop lenses retail for $197 while the photochromic options are $237. Smith also includes a clear lens with the sunglasses that can be stored in the included semi-rigid case. All the sunglasses feature Smith's ChromaPop technology which provides UV protection with color enhancement to improve clarity. Despite the oversized design, the Syncline are compatible with the ODS5 prescription adapter which is nice to see with large cycling sunglasses. Visually, the Smith Syncline sunglasses look more like ski goggles than cycling sunglasses with their oversized cylindrical style. The sunglasses are a large pair of sunglasses that are 65mm tall and 148mm width for a wide field of view. These have a full-frame design with a Evolve bio-based frame that is lightweight and durable. To give the sunglasses a unique look, Smith has overlapped the sides of the lens with the frame. That results in an almost frameless floating-like appearance with only a small portion of the upper and lower sections of the frame visible from the exterior. At first glance, the sunglasses are reminiscent of the POC Devour or the Smith Ultralite but the Syncline has a more squared off lens shape. Smith currently offers the sunglasses in five lens and frame color options: tan taurus / slate, matte crystal / ChromaPop rose blue mirror, matte black, ChromaPop photochromic clear to gray, matte black / ChromaPop black and matte salt haze / ChromaPop rose gold mirror which we have in this review. The frame looks more like a dark tortoise which contrasts against the gold to rose color gradient of the mirror lens. Smith has incorporated venting into the lens by adding a slight gap between the edges of the lens and frame. The Syncline are available in both Photochromic lenses that adjust to the environment or the standard ChromaPop lenses. It’s a $40 difference between the lens options so we’d recommend buying the version that works best for your riding style. ...
