The Smith Optics Arvo sunglasses are built for people who need one reliable pair that works everywhere—from morning commutes to afternoon hikes, fishing trips, and backyard cookouts. Smith calls them “the daily driver,” and that reputation is well-earned.
At the heart of the Arvo is Smith’s ChromaPop polarized lens technology, which filters two specific wavelengths of light where color confusion happens (blue/green and red/green crossovers). The result? Colors look more vivid, contrast is sharper, and details pop—whether you’re spotting fish below the surface or navigating a shaded trail. The lenses also feature smudge- and moisture-resistant coatings for easy cleaning and clear optics all day long. Available in both polycarbonate and glass lens options, every variant offers 100% UV protection and cuts glare in bright conditions.
The Bronze Mirror lens (14% VLT) is a standout for fishing and everyday use, offering high contrast in variable light. Blue Mirror lenses work well on the water, while the Gray Green option delivers true-color rendering for all-purpose wear.
The Arvo frame is made from Evolve bio-based material—a renewable, plant-derived polymer that’s 53% bio-based and weighs just 29 grams. It’s light enough to forget you’re wearing them, yet durable enough for daily abuse. The 8-base lens curvature provides a wraparound fit with medium coverage, offering solid protection from sun and wind without the aggressive look of performance sport glasses.
Spring hinges self-adjust to your face for a custom fit, and Megol nose pads and temple grips keep the glasses locked in place when you start sweating. Reviewers consistently mention these don’t slip, even during runs or scrambles.
The Arvo is designed as a medium to large fit, but several owners note it works particularly well for people with narrower heads and nose bridges—better than Smith’s Guide’s Choice in that regard. One customer review on Smith’s site says it perfectly:
“Perfect fishing glasses for someone looking for something other than the guides choice…the Arvo is better for someone with a more narrow head and nose bridge.”
The Arvo is prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx lenses and get the same ChromaPop performance with corrected vision. The full-rim rectangle frame with a single bridge design accommodates a wide range of prescriptions. These are unisex sunglasses that lean casual but perform when you need them to.
Available in 12 color and lens combinations—from classic Matte Black with Blue Mirror to Matte Tortoise with Bronze Mirror—the Arvo adapts to your style while delivering Smith’s signature optical clarity.
