Smith Barra

Smith Barra Sunglasses

A versatile on-the-water sunglass that transitions naturally from a long morning fishing to an afternoon in town without looking out of place in either setting. The Barra pairs built-in slim side shields and ChromaPop lenses with a 6-base wraparound fit for large coverage and backside glare reduction in a clean frame that earns its place as a daily driver for anglers and active outdoor enthusiasts.

Why We Carry It
It's the sunglass we recommend for anglers and water-focused outdoor enthusiasts who want serious on-the-water eye protection in a frame refined enough to wear off the water without changing.

Highlights

• ChromaPop lens technology — Enhances contrast and natural color for a sharper, more detailed view in variable light conditions on the water and on the trail. A meaningful optical upgrade over standard sunglass lenses for reading water, spotting fish, and navigating changing light throughout a long day outside.
• Built-in slim side shields — Integrated peripheral coverage and backside glare reduction that comes standard with the frame without a separate accessory. A practical detail for anglers and paddlers where light enters from every angle throughout the day.
• 6-base lens curvature with large coverage — A modest wraparound fit that provides enough peripheral coverage for active water use while maintaining the clean, versatile aesthetic that works off the water without looking like dedicated sport eyewear.
• Megol non-slip nose and temple pads — Stay put through sweat, water spray, and active movement without sliding or shifting. A critical grip detail for anglers and paddlers who need their eyewear to stay where they put it through a full day on the water.
• AutoLock hinges — Hold the frame open for easy one-hand on and off without the frame snapping shut. A practical detail for active use with gloves or wet hands on the water.
• Evolve bio-based frame material — A lightweight, durable frame made from bio-based materials for a more sustainable construction without compromising flexibility or impact resistance.
• Anti-reflective coating with smudge and moisture resistance — Reduces eye strain on long days in direct sun and stays cleaner longer on sweaty, wet days without constant wiping.
• 100% UV protection — Full UV coverage for extended on-the-water sun exposure where reflected UV from the water surface adds to direct overhead exposure.
