SMITH, a world-class eyewear brand with a leading market share and a strong reputation, began in the 1960s when Dr. Bob Smith, an American dentist and avid skier, created the world's first double lens structure and breathable foam to prevent fogging in ski goggles
Since then, the company has developed numerous technologies that have become industry standards, including the regulator system, turbofan system, and lens replacement system.
