A Pioneer for Sports Glasses and Goggles
In the early days, SMITH founder Dr. Bob Smith, orthodontist, created the first goggles by hand using various dental instruments, foam and adhesive. Before he could do a deal for industrial production, he had built those early prototypes together with friends and family at the kitchen table. On his many trips into the mountains to test his products, he used to swap the new drafts for lift tickets.
