Smith Langley 2 review

Smith's Langley 2 is a teardrop aviator for buyers who spend time outdoors and want polarization without paying for glass. Smith describes it as pairing timeless teardrop frames with ChromaPop polarized lenses, which it says cut glare and enhance color and contrast. The lenses are Carbonic polycarbonate for impact resistance, with a smudge and moisture resistant coating, and they sit in a stainless steel frame with acetate temple tips and adjustable silicone nose pads. Every version is polarized at $227, and mirror finishes include Rose Gold, Blue and Opal. Smith backs it with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, free shipping over $50 and 30-day returns. The size is fixed at a 61mm lens with a 13mm bridge, which Smith calls a medium fit, so buyers with narrow faces may prefer Randolph's 52mm or American Optical's 52mm sizes. At our check, most color options were marked sold out or unavailable, so stock is the main risk. We compared documented features and published prices; the Langley 2 is the best polarized metal aviator under $250 here.
