The Smith Backcast sunglasses deliver serious fishing performance without the aggressive wrap that screams ‘technical eyewear.’ Built for anglers who want polarized ChromaPop optics on the water and a clean look everywhere else, the Backcast features a medium-to-large rectangular frame with a modest 6-base wrap that blocks glare from multiple angles while staying low-profile enough for everyday wear.
Smith’s ChromaPop lenses filter two specific wavelengths of light—around 480nm and 580nm—where color confusion occurs. By eliminating this overlap between blue-green and red-green wavelengths, ChromaPop delivers sharper color separation and enhanced contrast, making it easier to spot fish below the surface, read water structure, and reduce eye fatigue during long days outdoors. Available in three lens platforms: ChromaPop polarized (carbonic), ChromaPop Glass polarized (mineral glass with superior scratch resistance), and ChromaPop Glass Polarchromic (photochromic lenses that adapt to changing light conditions from dawn to midday sun).
All lenses include smudge- and moisture-resistant coatings for clear optics in spray, humidity, and heat, plus 100% UV protection.
The Backcast frame is made from Smith’s Evolve bio-based material—lightweight, durable, and designed with strategic low-profile details that minimize moisture buildup. AutoLock hinges allow easy one-handed on-and-off, while spring hinges self-adjust to your face for a secure, comfortable fit. Megol nose and temple pads provide non-slip grip even in heat and motion. Leash-ready temple tip holes add security for fishing, paddling, and dock days.
The frame fits medium to large faces and is available in prescription through authorized optical retailers. Each pair includes a microfiber cleaning pouch, and glass lens variants ship with a hard case for tackle box protection.
