Main features

Timeless, classic aviators – these are the words that best describe Columbia Norwester sunglasses. With 100% UV protective coating and polarized lenses, these sunglasses best resemble our No 1 pick, except for two features for which it didn’t make it higher on our list. The first is a plastic lens, which isn’t ideal knowing the price of these sunglasses, and the second is the price itself. But features and style make these aviators worthy of their spot.

Design and Comfort

With a metal frame but plastic lens, Norwester sunglasses are rather lightweight. Another great bonus is a relatively wide bridge (suiting everyone without squeezing the nose) and snap-in nose pads. One feature that definitely outweighs everything else is the five design options (though each costs a different amount). Those are rose gold frame with rose gold lens, gold frame with green lens, black frame with a dark lens, black frame with blue lens, and brown frame with brown lens.

👓 Value

While the plastic lens and the price may not be ideal, especially when you would be paying a different amount for nearly each design option, there are features that make up for it. First of all, you are guaranteed to find your perfect style. Then, there is UV protective coating and polarization, which adds to the quality of these Columbia sunglasses. Finally, a lightweight, classic design will look great on anyone and feel comfortable. So, in general, it’s up to you to decide if Norwester is worth it.
