Smith Guide's Choice XL

Smith Guide's Choice XL Sunglasses

The fan-favorite Guide's Choice scaled up for larger faces and anglers who want maximum coverage and sun protection on the water. The XL delivers the same aggressive 8-base wraparound fit, ChromaPop polarized optics, Megol grip details, and integrated leash as the standard Guide's Choice in an extra-large frame that fits bigger faces without compromise.

Why We Carry It
It's the sunglass we recommend for larger-faced anglers and guides who want the full Guide's Choice performance package in a frame that actually fits without feeling pinched or undersized.

Highlights

• ChromaPop polarized lenses in standard or glass options — Cuts glare from water and reflective surfaces while enhancing color and contrast for superior fish spotting and water reading. ChromaPop Glass adds high scratch resistance for professionals who put their gear through hard daily use.
• 8-base aggressive wraparound fit in extra-large — Maximum sun protection and peripheral coverage for larger faces in the same deep lens curvature that makes the Guide's Choice a proven on-the-water performer. Unmatched side light protection for full days in the sun.
• Megol non-slip nose and temple pads — Stay put through sweat, water spray, and physical activity without slipping or shifting. A critical grip detail for anglers and guides who can't afford to lose their sunglasses at the wrong moment.
• Spring hinges that self-adjust — Conform to your face for a customized, snug fit without manual adjustment. Durable hardware that holds up to repeated on-and-off use across seasons of hard outdoor work.
• Evolve bio-based frame material — A lightweight, durable frame made from bio-based materials for a more sustainable construction without compromising the flexibility and impact resistance needed for active outdoor use.
• Integrated detachable sunglass leash — Keeps the glasses attached when they're off your face and removes cleanly when you don't want it in the way. No losing them to the water on a drift boat or from a kayak.
• 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.
• Extra-large fit with extra-large coverage — The largest frame in the Guide's Choice lineup for bigger faces and anyone who wants maximum coverage beyond what the standard or medium-large fit delivers.

Best for

Larger-faced anglers, fishing guides, and on-the-water outdoor enthusiasts who want maximum ChromaPop polarized coverage and the proven Guide's Choice performance package in a frame sized for bigger faces. A strong lifetime investment for anyone who has found standard sunglasses too small for their face and wants serious on-the-water eye protection that stays put.
