Are the Amber ones, the G-30's? I don't think they are polarized. Are they?

Lens Tints Hope this helps.

thanks Major Dave...the site is helpful...along with the opinions on here, I'm leaning toward some version of the G-30's...either the standard or w/ the Iridium...these are all simulated images, which is helpful, but not as good as the personal accounts...

I had a buddy who was interested in amber lenses. He bought a pair that had replaceable lenses in case he wanted the black look. (not sure the brand) It's a tough choice. I always have the fear of buying a pair I don't like and have to live with! |

I've worn these for 5 years. LOVE them. I'm in the polarized camp, and haven't had any distortion issues. These Native glasses (from what I was told when I bought them at Eastern Mountain Sports) were designed for bicycle racers. They have little vents on the top of the frame. Never had a problem with them fogging up, even on 100+ degree days when I'm sweating buckets.
Native Eyewear You can't buy them off of the Native site, but they will link you to the various retailers that do sell them. I think mine are the Sprint, but I like a couple of the other options, too. There are better descriptions of the glasses on the REI site than found on the Native site, and there are good descriptions of the lenses on the Native site. Hooray for going back and forth between windows. Mine came with regular, clear and yellow lenses, but it looks like they only come with 2 now. Oh well.

I have the half jackets with three replaceable color lenses. I want to say that it was a "golf package" or something like that. My wife bought the set at sunglass hut and I don't know what it's officially called. It came with the frames, three lens selections (regular grey, fire iridium, and ruby) a couple of cleaning cloths and a nice semi-hard padded case. The set is really nice. I've tried to stay away from the fire ones because they just don't look very good in the middle of the field. The ruby and grey work real well.

If that's what you like, then that's great, but I'm just saying that the Oakleys should last you a long time and, as you've demonstrated, have a relatively decent cost. |

I've been using Easton Diamond Flares for the past 5-6 years but only when on the bases. I have both a black lens and a light blue lens pair.
They are only $19.95 so I don't worry about breaking them. I spent top dollar on my West Vest Platinum, my hexpad shorts, my plate shoes, my base shoes, my Honig pants and Honig shirts but I see no need to drop $100-150 on Oakley sunglasses. Just my two cents.

I wear these with a prescription insert. I bought them two years ago and love them. The even work under my helmet behind the plate.
