Customer Reviews Maui Jim Ho'okipa Readers 2.5

I wanted another pair of Maue Jim s that I could wear outdoors and still read without changing to my standard reading glasses. These are great as sun glasses and perfect for reading. They took a little getting used to looking through lower part of the lense to read. Zappos is the only way to buy online. Thanks!

Good but not great - These Maui Jim's are the usual great Maui Jim's from the front, but the bifocal line is very prominent. It is somewhat distracting to read with. I am used to a larger reading area and this one is on the small side. You might want to order a stronger prescription they seem on the weak side.

As always the Maui Jim lenses are clear, do not distort the view, and lightweight. Many sunglasses feel too tight and give me headaches, but never my Mauis. The readers work very well. I wish they came in more styles, but I am happy with them. They come with a lightweight protective case and a lovely cloth bag to store and to clean them. Also, this is a great company. Several years ago a pair of my sunglasses broke. I mailed them to the company and for $10 they were replaced, since they could not be fixed. Great experience all the way around.

I am very pleased with the darkness of the lenses for bright sun days. I was worried by comments about the placement of the reader lens being too far down, but I like these a lot. Expensive, but the best I've found so far.

Have had these readers for over 6 months and I just love them. They're incredibly lightweight and yet feel very sturdy (you can really tell that they are well made), and the optics are wonderful. I use them for driving (both car and boat) and for reading at poolside, and they are so much easier than switching from sunglasses to my regular readers. Plus, the Maui Jim styling is great and I get lots of compliments. By far the best readers I've ever owned, and well worth the price.

Most of my time is spent outdoors under California skies, and these sunglasses block glare and relax vision better than any other I've tried. Just bought my second pair of Ho'okipas, first time with readers and glad I added them. The magnifiers are placed low enough that they don't interfere with downward far vision until about 160 deg (90 equals straight ahead).

I thought I died and went to heaven when I found my favorite Maui Jims (style and all) with reader lens. The reader lens part is a bit too narrow though, and I had to read at an angle I normally don't. Still can't beat the look and performance of these babies though!

Given as a gift. I was pleased to have these readers gratefully enjoyed by the birthday boy---a difficult one to please. They are sturdy, yet lightweight, very good optics. Pleased with the purchase.

I bought these sun readers to be able to read on our boat, use my camera and phone without switching to reading glasses. The line dividing the regular and reading portion of the lens takes some getting used to when first wearing, but is fine after a couple of uses. The sun protection is great, no more squinting. Very happy!

Perfect Viewing - I was skeptical---but these glasses are great. Light weight, stay in place, and extremely clear viewing. I even drive with these, and it didn't take much getting use to. There is no line to see from just looking at them; you get the magnification when YOU look down. Can't wait to try them reading at the beach or lake---ahh warm weather! Came in Maui Jim box, nylon drawstring bag and case.

These are very good sunglasses, and are effective readers as well. It does take a little getting used to since the actual reader part is fairly small - in a beach chair I really had to tilt my head up to see the top of a page. But when looking straight ahead there is no strange magnification effect and they work as well as any pair of sunglasses I have owned.

I have regular Maui Jim (non-reader) Ho'okipa sunglasses, which I love, but on these the little space for the reader part was way too small and way too low on the glasses for me. I felt like I could only see things if I held them directly against my chest. I returned them.

I love these glasses! I have been wearing Maui Jim sunglasses for 30 years, they are my favorite brand, no one else compares to the quality and comfort they provide. Thanks for such a great product and excellent customer service.

I was thrilled to find a pair of my favorite Maui`s available as readers. I wish the `reader`part was a bit larger, but I really only use them to supplement reading when I am out, so you do need to adjust a bit to them. Overall though they do a great job. I can`t wait to be on the deck of a cruise ship reading away with them.

I love the light weight glasses and the contrast when out in the sun. The glare on my eyes is no more. Very happy

Best glasses I've owned! Ocean and the underlying coral look amazing through the polarized lens

Excellent glasses, great gift for golf, excellent lenses

Fantastic sunglasses! I needed a light weight quality pair of sunglasses that reduce glare, and Maui Jim Delivered! Running a crane I need to be able to see the signal man clearly in all sunny conditions. These Glasses are great!

I love these glasses! I prefer a lighter weight pair that can hold up to exercise but one that is still good for everyday use. These glasses are that perfect pair! I also love the bronze lenses. Dark enough to counter the bright Colorado sun but not so dark that they distort the color. I don't think I'll ever buy another pair besides these ones, they're that good! And it certainly doesn't hurt that Maui Jim has amazing customer service!

Great glasses that are light and easy to wear. The lenses are exceptional to wear in any environment.

I love the sunglasses. They are the most comfortable glasses I have every owned, and perform superbly in almost all conditions.

I love them so much I want to move back to the islands where I first discovered them.

Love my new Maui Jim's this is the third pair I have purchased in the last 6 years

I am enjoying them. I have two pair of your sunglasses. One has a reader the other doesn't. I love them both for different reasons!

I have owned 3 pairs since 2012. Still the best on the market. The customer service is also amazing
