I recently purchased a pair of high performance active wear sunglasses from a link on Native Eyewear’s website.  The model is called the Silencer.  It retails for $139.00 and best fits a medium to large profile face and weighs .70 ounces.  I bought this pair of sunglasses to wear during my cycling and running events but I have since found that they make for great casual wear as well.

A few of the features according to the manufacturer include Native’s Snap-Back Interchange lens system and exhaust vents.  Exhaust vents are nothing new but when they properly enhance airflow and  virtually eliminate fog and condensation, I become very interested.  I can tell you after racing in a recent triathlon event, the Silencer certainly delivers in this category.

Native also has what it calls, Cam-Action Hinges.  This is a patented feature which allows the temples to quickly lock into position.  Another fancy term used to describe the way it fits is Native’s Mastoid Temple Grip.  This is a proprietary design feature, that ensures that the temple ends hug the mastoid bone (behind your ears) allowing for a secure and  comfortable fit.  I agree, these sunglasses fit pretty darn good.  I hardly notice that I’m wearing them.

For the adventurer and daredevil in you, rest assured that your eyes are very important to Native.  They have a featured called their Anti-Ocular Intrusion System.  It’s designed to prevent your lenses from dangerously shooting toward your eyes in the event of an impact.  If you find that you’re coming close to having items dangerously shooting toward your eyes, then maybe this sunglass is for you?!

All lenses offer 100% UV protection and this includes the SportFlex lens, Yellow, Orange, and Clear lenses.  Another nice feature and long term value is Native’s Polarized Crystal Carbonate lenses.  According to Native, these have the strongest hard coating available to protect against scratching.  Nothing is more frustrating than dropping your sunglasses and getting a scratch.  This is very helpful.

Included with your purchase is a second pair of Sportflex™ lenses and a semi-hard zippered case and a soft pouch that doubles as a cleaning cloth as well as a Native sticker.

Native, features a complete line of high performance sunglasses and goggles loaded with tons of technology and backed with a lifetime warranty.
