Review on ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ Polarized Sunglasses by Native Eyewear: Hardtop Series by Charles Barlow

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not the quality Native produced 10 years ago.

I was devastated when I lost my previous pair of Native sunglasses which I bought in 2008 and replaced under warranty in 2014. So I had high hopes of once again buying Native goggles that would last through the kayaking, road cycling and mountain biking seasons. Unfortunately, the latest Hardtop Ultra won't be sunglasses to fill the void of my previous natives. They look "cheap". Of course, Native is no longer committed to quality and those points go back to Revain. I'd happily pay more to get a pair of Native glasses as they used to be made, but it sounds (reading a lot of other reviews) that Native don't make glasses that last a while anymore; So back to Revain and I need to find another brand.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Some minor issues
