Comments about Native Eyewear Silencer Sunglasses - Polarized:
Used while deployed in Djibouti, Africa. With temps ranging in the 130's you could imagine the glare. So sunglasses are a must. These are some of the worst conditions, and the sunglasses held up great best piece of gear I had!! Showed it to the other guys and they ordered them as well. I should make a commision!
-Polarized lens (a must)
-Great peripheral vision (a must)
-rubber ends on the arms came off after long hours of wear and... lots of sweat... just used some superglue and fixed it in a snap.
-Didnt think I would use other lenses that came with it but yellow were good for the range as well.
Well me and the rest of the guys all highly recommend these sunglasses!!

These were the best sports glasses I've ever owned...right up until the point when I lost them today coming down from Mt. Defiance in the Columbia River Gorge (they're somewhere on the Starvation Ridge Trail - if you find them, well, you're welcome: I'm buying a new pair tomorrow).
I withheld that fifth star because the Blue Reflex lenses I special ordered for a trip to the Everest region, seemed to scratch pretty easily. But, in all fairness, that could have been user error. I was a little hypoxic at the time. It's all a bit fuzzy...

I love these sunglasses. I usually scratch lenses quickly, but a year later and not a mark! The lenses are easy to change and come in handy for different lighting conditions.

Hmm. I was hoping for a more flexible frame, at least behind the ears. These glasses are very lightweight and overall, comfortable. My head is on the large side (not huge but med-large) and these glasses are unbearably small on me. I'll be sending them back but really liked them, so I'll keep looking. Worth a try though.

I regret buying these expensive, flimsey glasses.
I have broken 3 pairs wearing under helmet (no falls). The Native lifetime warranty is a fallacy- they charge a fee that is far in excess of the manufacturing cost and the replacements they sent were seconds (paint smeared and frame twisted) Native would not respond to complaints.
Regrettably, I did not buy from REI, otherwise, I would have returned them to REI.

The most comfortable fitting glasses I've ever owned. After a short time of use, the lenses were severely scratched in the factory soft case. I bought replacement lenses and it quickly happened again. I've owned a handful of quality sunglasses in my life, and I've always treated them with respect. I've never been so dissapointed. I literally threw the frames in the trash to ensure that I wouldn't be enticed to replace the lenses again...the lenses are absolute trash.

I've never paid so much for such an inferior product. Comfortable and protective...yes. It's too bad the lenses can't stay clear for more than a few weeks. I'd never heard of this company when I found these glasses at REI. I assumed that they were of quality being that I found them at REI. Boy was I wrong. I thought that I may had introduced some harmful chemicals, maybe hardwater?, to the (reflex) lenses after they went bad after a few weeks. I then let them sit in the closet for 6 months...wearing them occasionaly under low light/fog conditions with the other lenses. Eventually, I then decided to purchase the charcoal (reflex) lenses. They also lasted me about about 3 weeks of clear vision. I take care of my glasses, (always cased when not used, always kept clean) and I honestly feel duped for every taking a chance on this company. I didn't take advantage of the warranty, but if you feel the need to spend high dollar on sunglasses worth about five bucks...DO IT! You'll need that warranty, but plan to spend 6 times that worth every time they need to be replaced.

I chose the model with black frames with the blue polarized lenses. I'm using them mainly for driving and also for softball, cycling, and hiking. I bought these because they are more fashionable than your typical sunglasses with interchangeable lenses. I also liked the warranty. Unfortunately they have not met my expectations.
The first problem is they fog up all the time. Especially if I am sweaty. I have lots of problems while driving when the weather is cool. Usually warming them up helps, but sometimes it doesn't.
I'm very surprised to see others describe these as durable. That has not been my experience. Not even close. Mine have lost one nose piece and one of the rubber bridge pieces. A bit of super glue will reattach them, but it is still a hassle. Also I'm on my third pair of lenses. They scratch way too easily. In one case I had them in my bag for not even 10 minutes and they were so badly scratched that you could not see through them. Definitely store them in the case at all times when not in use.

I wear these glasses every day. It can be challenging to find a pair of glasses that fit well with a motorcycle helmet. These fit well and the venting does a great job at minimizing fogging. I've owned three pair. The first pair had a tendency to eject one of the lens'. [...]swapped them out [...], and I was so happy with them, I bought an extra pair.For absolute perfection, I'd really like to see a light sensitive lens that goes from clear to dark. In the mean time, I swap the lens as needed.
