Comments about Native Eyewear Ripp Polarized Sunglasses - Special Buy:
Very comfortable. These are by far the most scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses I've ever owned. I bought one pair a couple of years ago and they are still in service after almost daily use. I got the first pair on a great sale at REI and just ordered a second pair. The only drawback is that the soft nose pads have come loose, one after a year and the other after about two. Superglue got them back in well enough, but it was a pain to get right.

Comments about Native Eyewear Ripp Polarized Sunglasses - Special Buy:
Great shades, best I have ever owned. I have the amber lens, which is fantastic for everything from skiing to fishing to driving. Several friends have looked at them and told me they find them very comfortable and have excellent optics. These are really great shades. My only dink is that the nose rest rubber pieces are a bit fragile and have a life of about 1-2 years only and that is if you are careful witht them. Best for medium size faces, not good for wideheads (you know who you are).

These glasses has nice polarized lenses but the fit and design is a bit flawed with too much light coming over the top and producing a glare.

Comments about Native Eyewear Ripp Polarized Sunglasses - Special Buy:
I love these sunglasses and just ordered a second pair for my husband. My eyelashes always seem to rub on the lenses on other shades which drives me nuts and my eyes always sweat too but not with these. I can wear them all day while boating, backpacking or driving and I don't get that sore spot behind my ears. They are the most comfortable sunglasses I've ever owned. I'm on my third pair and that's only because one was stolen, my mastiff ate the second and the third is still in use. The only con I could come up with is that the ends of the ear pieces are a bit small and keepers tend to slip off fairly easily.

Comments about Native Eyewear Ripp Polarized Sunglasses - Special Buy:
I loved the design and color of these sunglasses when I first saw them. They fit my medium-sized face well, didn't slip, had pretty comfy nosepieces, and the fact that they were polarized was a huge plus.
The big negative? On sunny days (which is when you'll want to wear them, right?), the glare I get from over the top of them plus and the reflection I see of my eyes looking back at me caused a headache.
Don't think I'll be keeping them.

Comments about Native Eyewear Ripp Polarized Sunglasses - Special Buy:
I like these glasses, they are my first polarized set. They fit pretty well on my head and are true to the size described on the site. The bridge is a bit too narrow for my face as I was used to really large glasses (fashion/trendy) for a few years. A downside is that they have a glare on the inside of the lenses from my face. When it's really sunny, I can see my eyes reflected in the lens. Kind of annoying. I'm taking them to Hawaii so I will see how much the benefit of polarized lenses will outweigh the annoying back-lit problem.
