I ended up getting the Lowdown XL 2 with the voucher. I can 100% say I'd buy Smith glasses again. Great glasses and super durable
I have the lowdown 2. It's a 4 base, very flat. If you face isn't very flat it will sit awkwardly at a bad angle.
Smith I had, the coating on the lenses flaked off after a few months. I had a pair of lowdown xl crack right on the hinge.
I love this style, however I can't use the the clear lens version in the field.
