Blenders Eyewear Collections Compared: Canyon, Mesa, North Park, Eclipse, Millenia X2 and More

Blenders Eyewear sells its sunglasses as named frame lines, such as Canyon, North Park or Millenia X2, each released in many colorways. The store lists well over 100 collections, and the same frame can show up under "Everyday," "Lifestyle," "Iconic" and sport pages at once, which makes it hard to see how the lines actually differ. This comparison goes through the frame lines most often listed in the brand's best-seller and icons collections and sets out what each listing says about shape, lenses, fit, hardware and list price.

How Blenders names and groups its frames

A few naming patterns help when reading the catalog:

• Frame line, then colorway. A product such as "Canyon Black Tundra" is the Canyon frame in the Black Tundra colorway. Prices are usually the same across a line.
• X2, DX and Small. These are variations on an existing frame: Millenia X2 and Millenia DX, Meister X2, North Park X2, Canyon X2 and Eclipse Small. They often carry a different price and, in the case of Small, a smaller fit range.
• "Vibe" tags. The store data tags frames as Lifestyle, Iconic, Progressive, Active or Sport. These drive collection pages such as Everyday Sunglasses (160 products listed), Lifestyle Sunglasses (116) and Performance Sport Sunglasses (45).

The $59 lines: Canyon, Mesa, North Park, H Series and M Class X2

• Canyon: described as "classic wrap-style"; tags mark it wraparound and square. Twelve colorways were listed, all polarized, mostly mirrored, Medium-Large, with a microfiber pouch and sticker pack. Eight colorways also carry an "active" feature tag even though their main vibe is Lifestyle. One colorway mentions snap-screw hinges.
• Mesa: a square frame, with four colorways (Victory Lane, Crossing Alaska, Ghoster, Alpine Moon) tagged wraparound and Active and four tagged Lifestyle. Listings mention a polycarbonate body, a rubberized matte coating and rubberized or double-injection nose pads. Medium to Large.
• North Park: a round frame (one colorway also tagged oval), eleven colorways, all polarized. Several list stainless steel or metal temple arms. Most are Medium-Large; Berry Loud and Tropical Current are Small-Medium.
• H Series: round and oval tags, polycarbonate per one listing, spring-loaded hinges, seven colorways, all Medium-Large. Several are labeled women's.
• M Class X2: described as round on one listing but tagged square on others. Polarized lenses, spring-loaded hinges and metal temple stripes on several colorways, Medium-Large, plastic frame per the material tag.

The $69 lines: Eclipse and Millenia X2

• Eclipse: the sport line of the group. Listings describe wraparound, full-coverage or shield-style shades, and most colorways carry Active and Sport tags. Many list adjustable nose pads and arms; the Phantom Boss colorway describes a "flexible, lightweight TR90 design." All eleven colorways read were Medium-Large and polarized. What comes in the box varies, from a cloth and sticker to an EVA case. Eclipse Small is $59 and listed as Small-Medium.
• Millenia X2: a flat, single-lens style; the Lion Heart listing calls its lens "zero-curvature" and names a polycarbonate frame. Thirteen colorways were listed, almost all polarized, Medium-Large, with tags split between Progressive, Lifestyle and Iconic. Millenia DX, a related line, is $79.

SciFi is another $69 frame in the icons collection, listed as Medium-Large and tagged Lifestyle and Progressive, with an Active SciFi version that adds attachable side shields.

$79 and up: Meister X2, Exposé, Pacer and the collaborations

• Meister X2 ($79 polarized): Medium-Large, PureBlend polarized lenses in the colorways read. The Nimble Beast colorway also lists a non-polarized option at $59, so check which variant is selected.
• Exposé ($79): PureBlend lenses, EVA case and microfiber pouch in the box, adjustable nose pads and temple tips. Most are Medium-Large; Fortunate Gina is listed as Large with a non-polarized PureBlend lens.
• Pacer ($79): semi-rimless, PureBlend polarized, adjustable nose pads and temple tips, EVA case included.
• Turbojet and Metal Millenia Prime 21 ($89): Coach Prime collaboration frames with PureBlend gold mirror lenses.

Side-by-side: which line fits which buyer

• Want wraparound coverage at the lowest price: Canyon or the Active-tagged Mesa colorways ($59).
• Want a round, everyday frame: North Park (metal temples on several colorways) or H Series ($59); North Park has Small-Medium options.
• Want a flat, fashion-forward lens: Millenia X2 ($69) or Millenia DX ($79).
• Want a sport shield with adjustable fit: Eclipse ($69), or Eclipse Small ($59) for smaller faces.
• Want a hard case in the box: Exposé or Pacer ($79); on cheaper lines it is usually a pouch.

Whichever line you choose, returns are allowed within 45 days of receipt under the terms of service (final-sale and promotional items excluded), and sunglasses carry a one-year manufacturer-defect warranty.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Millenia X2 and Millenia DX?

Both are flat-lens Millenia variations listed as Medium-Large. Millenia X2 lists at $69 and Millenia DX at $79; DX colorways read used PureBlend smoke or mirrored lenses. The listings do not give measurements to compare their size directly.

Which Blenders frame is best for a smaller face?

Look for lines with a Small-Medium listing, such as Eclipse Small and a few North Park colorways. Most other frames are Medium-Large.

Are all Blenders collections polarized?

Most colorways in these lines list polarized lenses, but some offer a non-polarized variant or lens (for example Meister X2 Nimble Beast and Exposé Fortunate Gina). Read the lens line on the colorway you select.

The bottom line

Choose a Blenders frame line by shape first: Canyon and Mesa for wraparound, North Park and H Series for round, Millenia X2 for flat lenses, Eclipse for a sport shield. Price follows the line, from $59 to $79 for most buyers. Then check each colorway's lens, fit range and box contents, because they vary within a line more than the collection pages suggest.
