Native Eyewear Dash XP Review
We tested these performance shades from Native Eyewear in a variety of outdoor activity situations, and they performed outstandingly no matter what we threw at them. One of the best features of the Dash XP is the amount of coverage on the top and bottom of the lenses. For road cycling, we like a sunglass with good coverage on top for long periods in an aero position, but for running and hiking, we like a lens that covers well on the lower half. These were a rare great performer in both situations. The polarized lens provides outstanding clarity and we didn’t notice any distortion at the edges of the lenses. The Dash XP’s frame is so light you might forget you have them on, and the nose piece is made of a rubber material that kept these from slipping despite heavy perspiration. The frame also features ventilation holes that do a great job of keeping the lenses from fogging. Overall, the light weight and great optics of the Dash XP make them a great pick for the outdoor enthusiast looking for a versatile active sunglass. For more information, visit www.nativeeyewear.com.
I found that the Native Eyewear customer service and warranty are outstanding. Recently, I phoned them about the fact that the temple on my $140 Native sunglasses had broken and that I did not have a receipt. They informed me that they give customers a chance to send their Native glasses in for repair or replacement without a receipt on a one-time only basis. They also told me that they had redesigned the sunglasses so that the temples are more rugged and that they would not charge me the $30 repair/replacement fee. In short, they sent me a brand-new pair for free.
