+1000 I have been wearing Native shades for years, I have utilized the warranty 4 times in the last 8 years and only had to pay the $20 service charge once. 3 of the warranty claims were due to damage that I caused and the other was a part that failed after a year. I think the fact that I own a $110 pair of sunglasses forces me to take care of them and not damage or lose them.

To the OP, I'm a big fan of the Native line of eyewear.

2 main reasons:
1. Lifetime Warranty - I've had 2 issues with my first pair and they were taken care of seamlessly by the company
2. Interchangeable Lenses - this is really nice - you get varying degrees of transparency with a typical set of lenses - I wear the clear or yellow lenses for my dark commutes, switch to the orange ones on overcast days, and put the dark ones in for bright days.
3. Bonus - the dark lenses are polarized, which is a big plus for me as a flyfisherman
