Comments about Native Eyewear Silencer Polarized Sunglasses:

I am a tour guide for a small company. We take trips from Vegas to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. This requires me to make a long drive and then a short hike at the canyon. I use these glasses nearly everyday. I find them comfortable to wear everyday for more than 12 hours at a time. As a bonus the clarity of the polarized lenses is fantastic. I pass them around to my group at certain points and even those with other polarized lenses are amazed at the difference! The one set back I have found is as mentioned by others, the lenses do seem to scratch if not meticulously handled with care.

Comments about Native Eyewear Silencer Polarized Sunglasses:

My first experiance with Native glasses and they are great, exceeded my expectations. They fit well, light weight, dont fog, and changable lenses fit secure. The protective case is good to keep around and the soft case makes for a good lens cleaner. The silver reflex lenses are great for most uses. I use the sport flex lenses in lower light situations or clear lenses when I dont have actual protective glasses around. I have not had any issues with the lenses scratching and these are my primary eye protection while mountain biking.

Quality product, but sized very small. Better suited for a woman or young adult. I wear a 7-1/4 fitted ball cap and these glasses very way too small. Very nice product, hated to send them back.

Comments about Native Eyewear Silencer Polarized Sunglasses:

All in all pretty happy with this purchase. Doesnt provide ballistic protection but its fairly rugged while looking stylish. Polarized lenses are a godsend in the Texas sun. Only drawback is that it doesnt fully cover your vision, but if thats what you want you should go full Terminator or wear big bulky ballistic glasses that look pretty ridiculous. Excellent balance of ruggedness and style

Comments about Native Eyewear Silencer Polarized Sunglasses:

This is about my third pair of Native Silencers in 6 years or so. The only downside to them is I seem to break them every couple years, but that's what the no questions guarantee is for right!? the most recent pair I've broken is the only pair that surprised me to break, left them in the truck overnight on a chilly night and when I opened them up one of the legs snapped right at the hinge.
Fit on these glasses is remarkable for me, they're the only pair of shades that I've found that fits me properly...
I would say they have a subdued sporty style to them, because they don't stand out too much and they are fairly compact.
Bottom line, I choose these over my more expensive Oakleys with the exception of going out on the town when I want a little more flash.

Comments about Native Eyewear Silencer Polarized Sunglasses:

This is the third pair of Natives Ive owned and never written a review till now. The first pair were great but I lost them after a month or so. I bought another pair about a year later. They always seemed a little funny to look through, I thought it was the polarization cause ive never had polarized glasses before. They broke after about 4 months or so. I returned them to the warranty dept for a fee of 30 bucks [...] They came with all new lenses and case etc. Right out of the box they still seem blurry. If I look at a stationary object and move my head back and forth the image distorts and moves around. Ive always owned Oakley's at least 5 pairs, and never had this problem. I will be going back to Oakley and using these as safety glasses on my jobsite. even my cheap 10 dollar glasses are more clear.

Comments about Native Eyewear Silencer Polarized Sunglasses:

I bought these sunglasses for everyday wear I could take on the trail with me. I have worn them for about six months... on the trail, on a snowmobile, on the water.

Unlike other reviews, I have not had a problem with the lenses scratching and the sunglasses have held together well. They are a bit small on my head, but fit very comfortably.

Love these because they don't fog playing tennis and are very comfortable, but all the lens coating is gone, so I wonder what kind of protection I have left. lens clearness is better now that all the coating is gone though.

Comments about Native Eyewear Silencer Polarized Sunglasses:

Bought these on my trip to Portland after my Nike shades bit the dust. I've used them on some good hikes, in hot, sunny conditions, and they've done a great job thus far. I'm going to be testing them on long runs and road bicycling in the coming week, so that will be the true test. I think they'll hold up well on my medic job in the ambulance. I bought a strap for them so I don't drop and scratch them (I'm very prone to doing that).
