Default Re: Maui Jim Sunglasses

My uncle was an optician for probably 30 years (possibly more) and he always told me Maui Jims have the best lenses money can buy. Also, I went into a store one time to shop for Maui Jims and the guy told me he didn't carry them and admitted the MJ lenses were better than anything he sold.

I've probably owned MJ sunglasses exclusively for 15 years now and I won't buy anything else. I had the flexible frame model Moe is referring to and HATED them. They don't fold up so you can't tuck them in your shirt which always drove me batty.

When it comes down to it the most important thing with sunglasses is being able to see. MJ's do that better than any other company IMO.

PS - I prefer the brown lenses.

I didnt like this either, but I would either tuck the ends under one another and slide them in my pocket, or just wear them on my head. Thats actually how I broke the nose pads, I had them on my head and was kicking the soccer ball around. They are so light I forgot I had them on my head, went for a header and thats how they broke.
