Eddie Bauer EB39417P vs. Similar Models
If you're considering the Eddie Bauer EB39417P, you might also be looking at other Eddie Bauer polarized sunglasses in the same price range. Here's how the EB39417P stacks up against two close alternatives in our collection.
EB39417P vs. EB39412P
Both models share the same $44.15 price point, polarized lenses, and prescription-ready acetate construction. The key difference is frame shape: the EB39417P offers a classic round silhouette that softens angular features and delivers a retro vibe, while the EB39412P may feature a different shape better suited to other face types. If you're drawn to the round aesthetic and want a frame that flatters square or rectangular faces, the EB39417P is the stronger choice. If round frames feel too bold for your style, the EB39412P provides the same Eddie Bauer quality in a different look.
EB39417P vs. EB39436P
The EB39436P is another Eddie Bauer polarized option at the same price, making it a direct budget comparison. Both deliver 100% UV protection, durable acetate frames, and the outdoor-ready build Eddie Bauer is known for. The EB39417P's round shape is more versatile across face shapes and offers a vintage-inspired look that pairs well with casual and outdoor styles. The EB39436P will have its own frame geometry and color options, so your choice comes down to which shape and style better match your face and wardrobe.
Why Choose the EB39417P?
The EB39417P stands out if you want a classic round frame that's been popular for decades, a medium fit that works for most adults, and rich acetate colors (tortoise, black, clear) that add depth and character. It's a solid everyday sunglass that transitions easily from city streets to hiking trails, with polarized lenses that genuinely reduce glare and eye strain. At under $50, it's hard to beat for prescription-ready, polarized sun protection in a shape that never goes out of style.
