Every year you have to be properly equipped for your mountain biking adventures. Wondering what the best Smith MTB Sunglasses are? Look no further and follow along to learn which ones we think are the finest for mountain biking and why we chose these sunglasses specifically.

Features to look for in MTB Sunglasses

Fit - Fit is always important when you wear any kind of glasses but with MTB sunglasses, they have to fit like a glove to allow you to have worry-free rides. The fit is also key because the sunglasses should be helmet compatible. That is why we recommend straight-back temples that will not interfere with the helmet.

Grip - Rides get bumpy and we do not want to focus on fixing our sunglasses every couple of minutes so having great grip is adamant in MTB sunglasses. We recommend sunglasses with rubber on both the nose pads and temples that will ensure the grip of the sunglasses even on sweaty occasions.

Coverage and protection - Here we look for a great wrap around the whole eye cavity to guarantee the best peripheral and protection for the whole eye. The greater the wrap, the greater the peripheral and therefore you will see with more clarity on all angles.

Lightweight - This is a key factor when it comes to comfort and performance. Lightweight builds are huge when it comes to comfort because the sunglasses will barely feel that they are on. Also, the less weight, the faster you will go!

Contrast - Dark vs Light: In general, you want a lens that is lighter than darker, with as much contrast as possible is the best way to go. When in doubt, go for the lighter lens to amplify contrast.

Material - For safety reasons, always, and I mean it when I say always, go for plastic frames and lenses, never glass lenses or metal frames. If you ever happen to crash or fall, glass and metal can be fatal to your health and at SportRx, we care about your safe experiences and adventures.

Fit, Grip, Coverage, Protection, Lightweight frames, high contrast and plastic frames and lenses are what you should be looking for in Mountain Biking Sunglasses. This is why we think the following are the best Smith MTB Sunglasses:
