Shady Rays Classic Timber Polarized vs Smith Guide's Choice ChromaPop

Buy the Smith Guide's Choice if you fish, boat or spend long days in glare: glass ChromaPop lenses, an 8-base wrap, Megol nose and temple pads and a detachable leash are built for that. Buy the Shady Rays Classic Timber if you want a lighter, more flexible plastic frame in a small-to-medium fit and a wood-grain look. The Shady Rays has the far larger review base and a reputation for warranty service; the Smith has the better optics and grip, but a smaller, more mixed review pool.

• Choose the Classic Timber if you want a flexible small-to-medium frame with a textured wood-grain finish and a low-VLT grey lens for bright days.
• Choose the Guide's Choice if you need glass lenses, a secure wrap fit and a leash for fishing, boating or all-day sun.
