Two negatives for me:
- The visible light transmission is very low which is great for when there is plenty of sun, but not so good for more variable light situations
- The tint is cool/blue which I don't personally like. I prefer neutral to warm tints on my shades.
Despite these negatives I kept them as they are a good value otherwise.
Edit: Mine are black gold ones.
Chromapop is pretty awesome and I'm a fan. The color separating tech is becoming standard in the industry now and most brands have some treatment/filter/something that works similarly.
Edit: I'll add that I use glacier glasses for fishing, mountaineering, glacier travel, ice climbing, for bright environments, and the aesthetic. These are not the best for very high output activities (e.g., nordic, running), unless you are trying to prioritize lateral sun protection. I find the side-shades do cut down on air flow across the lens and lead to more fogging.

I also have a lowdown 2 which I also love for casual use. My wife also has a pair.
All the smith glasses we have we highly recommend. The lenses are the best we ever had (we have rayban, tom ford, etc). We also got all of them for at least 50% off waiting for sales.
These fit me very well and the side shields really reduce the amount of light getting into my eyes. These feel like they will be very hot and not breath well during hot days. Thankfully, the shields are very easy to take off and put back on so that isn't a big deal.
Great deal for the price imo.
