I have never owned a pair of polarized sunglasses previous to the Eyepatch, and I can safely say that are one of my best purchases. These are the best pair of sunglasses I have ever owned, and the price is unbeatable.
I shopped around for quite a few days in the local area, trying on Smith, Native, and many other brands. While Native seemed to have good sport fit sunglasses, I found the distortion level to be a little high in the styles I tried on. I was disappointed with Smith as well, and after trying on many of their sunglasses, I didn't feel like any of them were completey secure on my large head.
Finally after trying on a pair of these, I immediately knew they were the fit and size for me. I highly recommend them for any active person. The polarized lenses have minimal distortion, and are great for reducing the brightness without sacrificing visibility. To me the glare reduction makes a world of difference especially in the city where the sun bounces directly off cars and windows right into your eyes, thus making the polarized feature excellent for driving. Also their excellent fit makes them barely noticeable on my head, while not hurting my ears or nose bridge in the process. Fogging of the lenses is minimal, as long as you make sure to have some air flow.
Five stars for great sunglasses at an affordable price!
