Still stuck in the cycling aisle. SMSH Padel was built to solve a clear problem — vision. Featuring cutting-edge VARYO™ lens technology with HD clarity, our proprietary lenses boost the yellow of the ball, sharpen contrast against glass walls and court surfaces, and kill glare in changing light. Our frameless, single-lens design delivers a true 360° field of vision, giving players unmatched awareness at every angle. With non-slip rubber contact points and adjustable nosepiece and temple, UV protection, and indoor-outdoor adaptability, every detail is built for the game. Launching at Padel World Summit 2025.
