Your Smiths are photochromatic? or are you saying the ones you have are too dark? I see Spotter have a photochromatic lens option but I have never used that sort of lens before.

Yes photochromic with Techlite Polarchromic lenses. Not a fan of the polycarbonate Chromapop.
I'd probably buy Spotters again over the Smiths. I had a pair that were stolen. I bought my last pair of Spotters direct from Australia and the service was fantastic. Even threw in a free cap. The Smith's are maybe a little lighter. I've also some Ray Bans that are fantastic for every day wearing.

A question for those that may know, How do the photochromatic ones stack up? They've gotta be a good idea eh?

Very, very surprised you didn't go for Bunji's recommendation.

Anyway, here's another recommendation for you: https://www.sungod.co/en-nz/shop/sunglasses/renegades

A few different styles, but you can choose frame and lense colour to suit. The best thing is you can just order each part individually, e.g. scratched a lens, you can just buy the individual lens instead of a whole new pair. Great quality glasses and mine have taken a hammering.

Made in France. Glass lenses. The best sunnies I’ve ever worn. The clarity is amazing. The price tag isn’t haha. Can be a little front heavy with the lenses they use.

A cheaper option which I went to after mine got stolen are Otis. Glass lenses also. Thrashed a pair for the last 5 years and am my now up for a lense replacement because the little one pulled them off my head onto a tile floor and smashed one side.

I have gone away from Maui Jims, the support after purchase is a fn joke. Just ordered some Smiths

Nice. Shame I don't have a discount contact
