About us
Based in Portland, OR, Smith Optics, Inc. was founded in 1965 with the creation of the first-ever goggle featuring a sealed thermal lens and breathable vent foam. In the early years, founder Dr. Bob Smith, an orthodontist by trade, made goggles by hand using dental tools, foam and glue. Before he struck a deal for manufacturing of Smith goggles in the late 60's, Smith would often trade his creations for lift tickets. These early prototypes were usually manufactured by Smith and friends around the kitchen table. Today, Smith Optics has become synonymous with innovative, durable, top-quality products in the eyewear and goggle market. The company is also recognized for its unparalleled team roster, which boasts some of the top names in biking, motocross, skiing, snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding and wakeboarding. Like many other companies, Smith utilizes team input as a key element of new product introductions. In addition, however, Smith athletes are actively involved in the development process for performance testing and coloration selection. We Make the Great Days Better.

Introducing: Human Powered Health Cycling x SMITH We’re excited to announce that we are partnering with Human Powered Health Cycling, a UCI Women’s World Tour team, as their official helmet and eyewear partner for the 2024-2025 season. HPH is an American professional Women’s cycling team that has rich roots in World Tour level competition. They’ve already started their season off strong—at the Tour Down Under Katia Ragusa brought home the QOM jersey. On the bike, the team will be wearing combinations of our Trace, Ignite, and Jetstream helmets paired with our Bobcat, Wildcat, Vert, and Shift XL MAG eyewear. We couldn’t be more excited to keep the team protected and looking fresh as they seek out glory on the world tour.
