Will they track dependably or should I wait until NF brings out a set?

Leupold sunglasses will track, like they have eyes.

If they have too, I suppose they are in a better place to do it than MagPul or under Armor - sunglasses from a magazine or underwear company, sheesh.
Think I'll stick with my Ray Bans.

At last, Leupold finds it's market niche.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Why not? The profit factor of sunglasses has to be very high, no issues with returns for repair and there are lots of folks out there who will buy them because the have Leupold emblazed on them.

drover Action Optics warrant their sun glasses against defects for lifetime and breakage during normal wear is covered. They replaced a pair for me I had been using hard for 12 years when the frame broke. They sell at the same price level to a little higher than leupold is showing as their retail pricing. Now if Leupold matches that type of warranty then they will have to hire a lot of people to cover warranty claims unless their build a better product than I think they will.

At least they have "Relentless Performance". I wouldn't own a pair of friggin' sunglasses that didn't.

Magpul already did it so I guess it was a matter of time....the Harley Davidson business model. Use your reputation to market an obscene number of logo gear items. Beer koozy's, sun glasses, key chain bottle openers, tumblers, rotomolded coolers....

Repleat with overly large Leupold logo... embarrassing.

Seems like a natural area to grow into for what's primarily a sports optics company. I'd think they'd have the expertise to put out a pretty good product.
eiss makes eyewear too.

"Relentless Performance" is that a joke?
