Native Eyewear Ignition sunglasses feature Native's "Snap-Back" Interchangeable lenses, which will allow you to change out your lenses according to light conditions, or even just to better match the rest of your gear on any given day. Native Eyewear works hard to ensure that your mountain biking gear in functional and stylish - there's no reason not to look good while you rip up the trails. Additional lenses are sold separately, but they're not prohibitively expensive, so keeping a few pairs of lenses around won't break the bank.
Like all of Native Eyewear's line of sunglasses, the Ignition glasses are polarized, and coated with "crystal carbonate" coating to resist scratching. The polarization is indeed striking, and will allow you to pick out the subtlest details on the trail ahead of you even in the brightest of sunlight and glare conditions. Native Eyewear makes their frames to last, and engineers them to withstand extreme heat and cold without warping. They'll be as comfortable among your mountain biking gear as hitting the slopes with your snowboard, making the Ignition a great investment for year-round recreation. The Ignition model not only helps you to look your best and see comfortably in all conditions, but is make to withstand high-impact collisions, so if you take a digger, your glasses are more likely to end up in one piece. The lenses are made to pop out away from your eyes under stress, making it less likely that you'll face a safety issue due to lenses impacting your eyes during a spill - an important safety feature when looking at mountain biking gear.
Keep in mind that while Native Eyewear does make sunglasses to suit all head shapes, these glasses are really best for those with small heads - specifically for women. If you have a large head, like me, you'll likely find that these glasses fit too tightly and don't provide complete coverage for you. If they do fit you properly, though, these feature-rich glasses are a fantastic purchase at around a hundred bucks.They're likely to become an indispensable part of your mountain biking gear.
