The screws were all loose on the glasses when I wore them. I had to tighten them all up. The glasses fit great on my face and love how light they are. Not a fan of the new case. My last Mia JIms came with a hard zip case and nice bag. Used my case when my glasses went into my backpack and used the bag to store them away in my truck. This new case will not fit in my sun glass storage and collapses in my back pack. Horrible I hate it! Bring the bag and old hard case and nice bag.

My wife and I have owned Maui Jim's for around 14 years. We love the looks and fit and lenses. We treat them as fragile as we can. For good reason. In that amount of time we have had to send them back at least a dozen times or so. We decided today we are done supporting a over priced item. I think when you spend $170-$295 on glasses you expect more from them. Unfortunately with Maui's, the quality isn't there. They are just to fragile for the price.

Overall a disappointing purchase, not anywhere near as dark as I expected them to be or as protective from glare; there's little to tell the difference between these and a $25 pair of foster grant's I bought in Mexico. More problematic though is that they're very vulnerable to scratches; by no mean do I treat my sunglasses badly, especially at this price point, however, I now have 2 small scratches right in the sight line of these after just a few months of wear. My Rayban's have lasted for years without suffering scratches that affect vision like the Maui Jim's. They are very comfortable though, and very light weight, they don't get caught in my hair when I push them up on my head and they stick well on my head without a leash (I typically have to put a leash on my Rayban's if I'm doing anything active to make sure they stay put). So some good points and some bad but at $189 there really shouldn't be any bad. Won't be purchasing this brand again.

The frames on any gas station variety of glasses are of better quality. There are pressure points on these frames that are not reinforced ad thus are likely to crack. This is not a "if" but a "when" statement. If you ask customer service before you purchase them, they may tell you that. If you buy first and then wait a few years, they will ask that you spend $134.90 to replace them. If sure they have other quality options but this pair aint it and they will not stand behind this $200 purchase. Don't believe me...ask them yourself.

2 years old.Lens scratched super easy, impossible to clean with anything other than soap and water. Right lens cracked and will break at the nose piece. Very good clarity, bright sun does not bother me at all with these on. Either the ears pieces or the top of the frame hits my head gear, sometimes both at the same time. My last pair of MJ's lasted 6 years when I lost in the ocean, replaced the lenses 2x due to broken nose pieces, $30 + fee to repair at that time.

I have owed a pair for several years. They are very flimsy and are easily broken. I had them repaired with new lenses once but that is very expensive. I expect higher quality for this price.

In most stores, a non-prescription "reader" is a something you put on to read. A bifocal has an insert of a different strength from the rest of the glasses. These are bifocals NOT readers. The picture doesn't show it as a bifocal. The description does not lead you to think this is a bifocal. I am very disappointed.

I bought these glasses because I had purchased the Black coral, those were great. The reading surface is to thin in the Ho'okipa, which makes it hard to read. The lens are to soft and scratched very easy
