Believe me, I wouldn’t even mention these things if I wasn’t a fan. I’ve been testing the Smith Interlock O1 model sunglasses for months now and can offer a thumbs-up for their performance and durability. One problem, however, is during spring backcountry skiing I found myself wanting a bit more surface area protecting my eyes. Not to worry, the other day Smith sent over a pair of their latest offering in the Interlock lineup.
