Native Eyewear Sprint Sun Glasses (Copper, Maple Tort)

Very Good Sunglasses
I bought these specifically for running. I needed something with interchangable lenses and at the time of my purchase (3/2011) they came with both the Blue Reflex lenses and the Sportflex lenses. I've got very light sensitive eyes and the reflex lenses (90% light reduction) are plenty dark for the brightest of days. The sportflex lenses are great when I run at dawn or dusk.

The price I bought them here for, around $84.00, an exceptional value. I usually wear Native's Throttle and have found the fit consistent in different pairs I've tried on, so though I was a bit hesitant to order the Sprint glasses online I'm glad I did. They offer great wrap-around coverage without blocking my side vision-just what I was looking for this summer-without giving me...
Natives Rule!!
I love these glasses. Best sunglasses i gave ever bought. I would definitely go to a store and get them sized for your head. Then come on here and order them. Not all of the glasses are the same.
