Eddie Bauer EB32038 vs. EB32038C Clip-On vs. Similar Models
If you're considering the Eddie Bauer EB32038 eyeglasses, you'll want to know about the matching EB32038C magnetic clip-on sunglasses and how this frame compares to other Eddie Bauer rectangular models.
EB32038 + EB32038C Clip-On: The Complete System
The EB32038C clip-on is purpose-built for the EB32038 frame. At $45.89, it's a fraction of the cost of prescription sunglasses and gives you instant UV protection with a one-handed magnetic attachment. Customers love the convenience—no more juggling two pairs of glasses or investing in a second prescription. The clip-on is lightweight, secure, and available in polarized options for glare reduction. The only downside? It's sold separately, so budget an extra $46 if you want the full indoor/outdoor solution.
EB32038 vs. EB32016: Size and Price
The Eddie Bauer EB32016 ($80.75) is a solid alternative if you're looking to save $13 or need a slightly smaller fit. The EB32016 measures 53-16-140mm compared to the EB32038's 56-16-141mm—that 3mm difference in lens width makes it better for narrower faces. Both are acetate, prescription-ready, and clip-on compatible. Choose the EB32038 if you want a bolder look and more coverage; go with the EB32016 if you prefer a subtler frame or have a smaller face.
EB32038 vs. EB32037: Same Price, Different Style
The Eddie Bauer EB32037 is priced identically at $93.68 and shares the same acetate construction and clip-on compatibility. The decision here comes down to style preference and fit. Compare the frame shapes and color options side-by-side to see which better suits your face and personal aesthetic. Both deliver the same Eddie Bauer quality and outdoor-ready durability.
Our recommendation: The EB32038 is the best choice if you want a medium-to-large rectangular frame with bold, clean lines and the option to add magnetic clip-on sunglasses. Pair it with the EB32038C clip-on for maximum versatility, or save a few dollars with the EB32016 if you need a smaller fit.
