I have a pair of Native glasses (the Dash XP) that I thought were going to be great, but when the comfy nose-piece that holds them on your face fell off Native left me hangin'. I tried repeatedly to get customer support from Native, but they failed miserably.
Learn from my mistake -- buy Smith,... I strayed from them for a short time, but trust me when I say that they stand behind their products (not a paid advertisement--I promise).

I've worn and sold Natives for 5 years. I will never wear another pair of glasses except Natives. The Dash XP's happen to fit my face the best so I chose them. These have been through everything, including eating it hard off the mountain bike, backcountry skiing, long leader falls, you name it! Mine have never had so much as a scratch through all that (many falls equals many scratches) and even with all that abuse, Native will still warranty them!

Couple of things you need to know before you purchase these. The polar lenses are very soft and scratch easily. Replacement lenses are pricey (around 40 clams). After a few months of wear, the lenses will "spider web" in the corners. Mine lasted nine months including new lens replacement.

If you are extreme in your activities (i.e. skydiving, tour of duty in Iraq, or extreme sports, look at the Gatorz and pass the Natives on by. The Natives are made for driving in air conditioned automobiles, no more no less.

These glasses are the best that I purchased so far, definitely drop the bills for these glasses, you will not be sorry!!

Bought the Dash SS for the great fit and loved them until after a few years the lens coating gets hairline cracks all over. Maybe from taking on and off for cleaning but at $120.00 I think it's inferior lens coating and unacceptable. After several calls they only responded to a nasty final lashing on their voice mail (which is all you will ever get). Finally the girl that called back was very nice but I can buy the replacement lenses at REI for $40 vs. $30 for warranty which doesn't sound promising from other people's reviews of waiting forever to get nothing. Will wait for back ordered lenses to get into REI in a month or so. At least the Dash XP will fit my SS frame which is still good.

Great eye pro. Their frames are geared towards specific facial profiles. I dont see a size chart so you may want to hit the Native website for sizing suggestions. I have a big honkin nose and these are the best fitting sunglasses I have come across. I have had to use the warrantee once after running into something face first. I had nothing but a good experience. I was kept up to date by email. IIRC, you pay a $30 processing fee and get a NEW set of glasses. I thought it was fair, maybe that's just me. Nice looking and no peripheral blur, ballistic protection.

I absolutely love my dash XR's(discontinued), I've lost 2 pairs already and am on my third pair. My only issue is with Native's customer service....I was attempting to purchase replacement frames as I still had the lens pack from old shades I had lost. When they told me they couldn't do that, but they could give me the pro athlete price 'just this once' since I have onwed so many pairs, I was ecstatic, a pair of natives for $60, perfect! Well, until they kep ttelling me they were in the mail and it was all lies, when I called them out on lying to me they just said, "oh we had the wrong CC number, we'll get them out to you right away"....more lies, I never got them, that was 6 months ago. I am a sucker though, the shades fit my face so perfect I got another pair.

I love these glasses! I have three pairs of the Charcoal XP. They protect your eyes while still keeping your viewing area light. They cut the glare, not the colors. Colors are more vibrant. You can see the bottom of a river and the fish swimming in it. You can still hike with them, because you can see detail (unlike other glass that make everything too dark). Plus, they have air holes in the top so heat escapes and the glasses don't steam up. The XP fits my face well. I have a square face and they wrap around it well. The nose pieces are very comfortable. They have taken a lot of abuse and I still have no scratches.

These glasses are not worth the money. They dont keep the sun out and break extremly easily. DO NOT BUY

These are the best shades I've owned. Hands down. Except for the coating on the outside of the lens...polarization coating? I made the mistake of cleaning it with a tissue. and the coating wiped right off, so now it needs to be replaced for 40 bucks. Otherwise, they are great for mountainbiking because they don't fog up and glare is drastically reduced. Enjoy!! and remember- clean them with the supplied cloth only!!!!

This is my third pair of natives. My first broke after 2 years and I am in the process of getting them warrantied. So far so good. The rubber ear pieces on my first pair of XP's fell off after a while and one of the hinges broke. I never had problems with lens scratching. I have no complaints just now for the Dash XP's. All glasses will fall apart if you are as hard on them as I am. I figure if I can get a year out of them, I got my money's worth. I think they could be a little more tougher for the money.
