Whether you’re a local or a transplant, Native’s Sightcaster sunglasses deliver style and performance bred for any mountain pursuit. State of the art lens and frame technology make this shade adept at cutting glare on the trail and the water, providing a color enhanced, high definition experience on land and sea.
Favorite Features
Native's Sightcaster was born to perform. The N3 lens, which blocks up to four times more infrared light than regular polarized lenses, provides excellent clarity and color enhancement. A slew of eye-catching features, including an interchangeable lens system, soft Mastoid Temple Grips, Co-Injected Rhyno-Tuff Air Frames and Cushinol nose pads ensure the Sightcaster is more than just eye candy. We loved the Matte Smoke Crystal finish, which provides a semi-translucent look and a sharp complement to the Blue Reflex Lens tested.
On-Trail Performance
Like a crock-pot, the Sightcaster heeds the “set it (on your face) and forget it” mantra. During a 10-mile mountain bike ride along numerous trails surrounding Breckenridge, Colorado, the Sightcaster did a phenomenal job of staying put over rough terrain. The full XL wrap frame offered the expansive field of vision you’d expect from a performance shade and the high definition N3 lens cut out any mid-day glare. Fogging was a nonissue even during slow, sweaty ascents.
Fit
The Sightcaster’s fit nails the difficult balance between comfort and performance: not too tight and not too loose. These sunglasses can be worn on the trail or on the water all day without any sore spots around the nose or ears.
Room for Improvement
The Cam-Action hinges feel super durable but are a bit unpredictable. Instead of a smooth action, these hinges tend to open and shut rather abruptly.
