Native Eyewear Attack Sunglasses - Polarized

Native Eyewear Attack Sunglasses - Polarized description

Protect your eyes from the sun's intense glare with the Native Eyewear Attack Polarized Sunglasses. Comfortable wrap-around frames give you plenty of coverage and interchangeable polarized lenses let you match these shades to the lighting condition. Maintain superior visual clarity in dim conditions with the low-light and Sportflex lenses. To keep your Attack Sunglasses fog-free, Native built a ram-air venting system on the brow of the sunglass frame to circulate air between your sunglass and your face. When the going gets bumpy, expect the Attacks to stay in place thanks to the grippy rubber Mastoid temples and self-adjusting nose pads.

These sunglasses are very comfortable. They have soft flexible plastic for the points that come into contact with your face - the nose guard, the upper rim (below your eyebrows), and the ear pieces. This definitely makes them feel great. They are a pretty large pair of sunglasses, so I would recommend them for someone with a bigger head.

Fit is quite wide. I measured the inside width at the hinge joint at 5". Behind that the templates spread out even further to a mx of 5.5" before tapering back down over the ears. The profile isn't as round as the throttle lending itself to wider or flatter faces. The nose bridge is also slightly narrower pulling the lenses away from your face slightly. I have a 58cm head and they are almost too wide, but work fine. Lenses go in easily, and slightly harder to get out. This indicates the lenses are held in pretty securely. Haven't had any problems with them popping out. Quality overall is good. The throttles seem to be slightly better as far as lens fit in the templates and overall quality. The rims are very thin and the templates flex a bit if you try to bend them. This causes the lenses to "squeek" as they move around every so slightly which occurs when you clean them. The throttles are stiffer and don't suffer from this nearly as much. The rubber brow area is glued on and made of high density rubber. They are ok, but I like the molded in ones better...they are less bulky. Theses are made in Italy while the throttles are made in Mauritius. I purchased the asphalt, and the finish is slightly different than the throttles in asphalt. The attacks are a flatter black and slightly gray with a almost a soft finish while the throttles are darker black with a smooth hard finish with slightly more luster. The rubber pads all around are grippy and work well. The cam action hinges were already worn out new out of the box. Maybe due to the softer plastic? I like the finish and lens fit of the throttles better, but need a wide template for high intesnsity activities, so these fit the bill.

Yo, recognize: These shades are completely bomber from a functional point of view. They look a little goofy with that mirror/reflex thing that went out 10 years ago, or at least that's what my wife told me. I didn't buy them for the looks though. They are wicked light and put almost no pressure on the nasal bridge, even after a long day. Great side coverage/wind block while biking. Interchangeable lenses are great. We were driving in a blinding, grey wash of a downpour on I-87 last week and we couldn't see jack. I put the sportflex lenses in (think ambervision) and suddenly you could see at least 60 feet further. Probably saved us!
