Description of Native Eyewear Hardtop Sunglasses
Native Eyewear Hardtop Polarized Sunglasses come with interchangeable lenses (the lenses that are in the sunglasses and one other pair) that allow you to adjust your outlook to fit any light condition. Polarized lenses reduce glare for improved visibility on bright days. If you need better contrast in low-light conditions throw in the Sportflex. For a nighttime trail run, snap the clear lenses into the wrap-around frame and protect your peepers.Product Features

Perfect for outdoors enthusiasts of all stripes, Native's Hardtop sunglasses offer a unique interchangeable lens system that lets you switch lenses without having to put your fingers all over the lens. These P.C.C. (Polarized Crystal Carbonate) optical-quality, impact-resistant lenses block 100 percent of harmful UV light and eliminate glare for sharp, clear vision with increased contrast and depth perception. The Hardtop comes with three sets of lenses, and it offers an optimal fit for medium to large profiles. It also comes with interchangeable Gator-lok temples, which allow you to quickly change to a sport band for a more secure fit in extreme conditions.
The self-adjusting Cushinol nosepads and ear stems create a non-slip grip that keeps sunglasses in place, and the cam-action spring hinges allow the temples to quickly lock into position. Other features include:
- Rhyno-Tuff Air Frames: A proprietary high-performance thermoplastic material that is extremely lightweight, yet durable enough to withstand high velocity collisions and temperature extremes.
- Venting system: Incorporates exhaust vents into its design framework to enhance airflow, which virtually eliminates fog and condensation. This unique design feature is the only system available that allows maximum ventilation while blocking extraneous incoming light.
- Mastoid Temple Grip: This proprietary design feature ensures the temple ends hug the mastoid bone (behind your ears), providing a secure and comfortable fit.
- Anti-Ocular Intrusion System: Designed to prevent your lenses from dangerously shooting toward your eyes in the event of a high velocity impact.

Apparel reviews of Native Eyewear Hardtop Sunglasses
Customer Review: Excellent sunglasses
Rating: 5 Stars
I love these sunglasses because
1. They fit people of different face sizes from small to large! Native sunglasses have frames to fit every face size which can be helpful for people not quite comfortable with standard size sunglasses (like oakley which are for small faces).
The Native Hardtops are for medium to large faces.
2. They are light
3. They stay on your face when you exercise and run around
4. Look cool
These also have a lifetime warranty but the only bummer is that it costs 30 dollars to file a claim (still worth it for a pair of 135 dollar sunglasses).
Customer Review: Loved 'em until they broke

I bought these at REI (one of their "retail partners") about a year ago and they had been serving me well. I liked these sunglasses because they were comfortable, light, polarized, *seemed* sturdy, came with a very sturdy case, they look cool, came with an extra pair of lenses in a small microfiber sac that you can use to clean the lenses, and an extra pair of sports band temples (basically temples with a permanent adjustable elsastic band to keep the glasses on your head when you're active). Unfortunately, I recently tried to change the temples using the provided "interchange key" and the temple snapped at the "Gator-Lok" point. There was barely any force applied (I followed the instructions) and it just snapped. It worked the first time I tried it but this time, it broke! For $120, they should be much more sturdy than that.
Well, at least they have a lifetime warranty. I'll just get free replacement temples, or so I thought. So I go on their website and found out that it costs $30 for a "processing fee". Oh well, not so bad really. $30 isn't going to break me but I feel like I shouldn't have to pay at all. Just thought they should be more sturdy. It also says that you need proof of purchase (PoP). However, in the FAQs, they state that they grant a one-time exception if you lost PoP. When they send it back, you will be given a new UPC code for PoP for future claims (hmmmm.....are they expecting future claims?)
I really liked these glasses but I'm not sure that I would buy them again. For that kind of money, they shouldn't break so easily. It's possible I got a bum pair or even that I attempted the exchange incorrectly (but I don't think so). Good luck.
Customer Review: Flimsy and overpriced!

I am on my third replacement set of sunglasses, each pair has lasted less than 6 month. I purchased these sunglasses several years ago, and at first I really loved them. After about 2 months the plastic pin that held the temple in place broke, and I sent them in for replacement and was charged $[...]. The next pair had metal pins (this tells me that Native knew that there was a problem and charged me a replacement fee for defective sunglasses). This pair lasted a little under 6 months before the frame cracked lengthwise across the right brow. I sent these in for replacement and was this time charged $[...] for for replacement, despite the fact that my warranty details stated that it would cost $[...]. At this point I wrote Native stating just how upset I was, and requesting that they at least refund me for the replacement, they never responded. The next pair of sunglasses were non-symmetrical and didn't fit right, the right ear piece popped off when the glasses were flexed in the slightest and, in addition to that, the reflex coating scratches with even the most careful use. So far these cheap crap glasses have cost me nearly $[...], I am tempted to throw in the towel and buy a pair of smith sunglasses, they have a better warranty and seem to be more durable. Do not buy these sunglasses unless you like to give away your money!
