Comments about Native Eyewear Hardtop XP Reflex Polarized Sunglasses:

If you are into action or adventure sports, DO NOT BUY this product. The nose piece falls off while cleaning and can easily get lost if you are in the outdoors. This leaves you with a biting nose bridge that will give you a headache. The so called removable temples crack when removed with the "special" remove key. And, oh yes, you can get a replacement parts when you get home, maybe even on warranty if you are willing to wait 4-6 weeks for processing and pay $30 processing fee. Or you can order the parts like the temples for $25 plus $5 shipping, which will get to you a little quicker. Bottom line is, you pay a premium price for an inferior product.

Temples are a problem. They stretch out and get loose. Sending mine in for repair after 1 year. Will probably have to pay $30 for a bad design

Comments about Native Eyewear Hardtop XP Reflex Polarized Sunglasses:

The glasses are great to wear. The eye protection from the sun and the fit are really good. I wear them for pretty much everything I do on a sunny day. The case and accessories are cool and I like the interchangeable lenses. Their true down fall is the engineering of the temple piece where they hinge and fold up. The plastic over time tends to crack, but I suppose the good news is that when it does you can always return them and get a brand new pair of glasses (I'm on my third pair in 4 years).

Comments about Native Eyewear Hardtop XP Reflex Polarized Sunglasses:

Own and operate Landscaping business, spend most of my time out side. I were these glasses all the time when working. If properly cleaned they will not scratch. The glasses have vent at the top of frame which allow air in between the lens and your face. The vents prevent fog and also keep sweat off them.

Comments about Native Eyewear Hardtop XP Reflex Polarized Sunglasses:

I've had mine for two years. They have a couple minor scratches which is to be expected with glasses this old... so long as you take care of them. I've had no problems and they work great in all settings. The only issue I have is the price. It's too steep!

Comments about Native Eyewear Hardtop XP Reflex Polarized Sunglasses:

Nice looking shades, comfortable, and blocks the sun well. However, the strap that comes with them is of very poor design. I lost the glasses once in Italy, but went back and found them where they fell. Used the strap again today and now they seem gone for good.

Comments about Native Eyewear Hardtop XP Reflex Polarized Sunglasses:

Just looking for a cool alternative to oakleys. Use it for running and some XC skiing and just wearing around. fairly comfortable, nothing profound.

The extra set of lenses don't fit right. Tried to put them in, frames ended up bent. Even called and asked if I was putting the lenses in right. Very frustrating. May as well just buy two pairs.

Certainly not worth the price.

Super lightweight, great optics. Use the interchangeable lenses often. Never fog up while running or biking. Saw other reviews on the temples. Newer versions must have a more solid temple construction as they dont interchange. No issues here

Comments about Native Eyewear Hardtop XP Reflex Polarized Sunglasses:

The exchangeable sidepieces were a good idea, but clearly a design flaw as this part breaks regularly. I've sent mine in for Dash XP, since i always need a backup pair and i do love the Native lenses and fit. Hopefully they will honor the request for an exchange, otherwise they'll lose me...

Comments about Native Eyewear Hardtop XP Reflex Polarized Sunglasses:

The biggest complaint I have is that the temple pieces do not hold up well AT ALL. I have to have the glasses replaced about once a year because of the poor design of the plastic parts where the glasses hinge. So, unless you have a store near by where you can exchange them when they break, don't buy these sunglasses. I keep getting the same pair though because they offer great fit and protection for a variety of activities. The changeable lens are kind of neat too for various light situations.
