Fit & sizing tips (petite to oversized)
Start with how you move. If you hike or drive long stretches, medium-to-snug temples help the frames stay put without pinch. Petite faces usually pair well with narrow rectangles; broader faces balance nicely with square or oversized aviators. A quick rule: match frame width to the widest part of your face and keep lens height clear of cheek contact.
UV & lens options for bright days
Polarized lenses tame mirror-like glare on water, roads, and snow; non-polarized can feel a touch brighter if you often check digital screens. For variable light, gray tints keep colors neutral, while brown/amber adds contrast on forest trails. If you’re choosing a driving pair, polarization plus medium-to-dark tint is a reliable one-two.
Sunglasses are sold with branded sun lenses (non-prescription).
Face-shape pointers for quick picks
Round faces sharpen up with angular rectangles; square faces soften with rounded edges and teardrop aviators. Heart-shaped faces usually love balance—medium rectangles or classic aviators. Not sure yet? Try two shapes back-to-back and note which line mirrors your brow: that subtle symmetry is your green light.

FAQ
Are Eddie Bauer sunglasses polarized?
Many styles include polarization to cut road, water, and snow glare, while others use standard sun lenses for a brighter, screen-friendly view. Check the product description for lens type and tint. If you spend time on the water or driving daily, polarized is typically the most comfortable choice.
How do I choose the right size for my face?
Match frame width to the widest part of your face and keep lens height from resting on your cheeks. Petite faces favor narrower rectangles; broader faces handle square or aviator shapes. When in doubt, compare two close sizes and keep the one that feels steady without temple pressure.
Polarized vs. non-polarized - which is better?
Polarized lenses reduce harsh glare and visual fatigue—great for water, snow, and driving. Non-polarized can be preferable if you frequently view screens or need slightly brighter visibility. Choose based on where you spend most of your time outdoors, and consider a gray tint for neutral color.
Do these sunglasses block UV rays?
Yes, UV protection is a core feature across modern sunwear. Look for UV400 or equivalent wording in each product’s details. Pairing UV coverage with the right tint and polarization gives the most comfortable, eye-friendly view on bright days and long commutes.
Are spring hinges or nose pads worth it?
If you wear shades for hours, spring hinges ease temple pressure and improve long-term comfort. Adjustable nose pads help fine-tune fit, especially if frames tend to slip. Choose these features when you want a stable feel for hiking, travel, or all-day driving.
What is your return window if the fit feels off?
We offer 30-day returns. Keep items new and complete with any included accessories to qualify. Start a return from your account, pack the item securely, and ship it back using your preferred carrier. Once processed, refunds go to your original payment method.
