Maui JimHookipa Rectangle Sunglasses

*UPDATE* (2023-07-22) : After wearing these for a few weeks, I noticed that I was getting smudges on the lenses so often that I was cleaning them all the time. Comparing to my old (broken) pair, I discovered that the new pair sat much closer to my cheekbones and eyelids (hence the smudges). The Maui Jim sales support kindly let me know that there was another version of Ho'okipa called "Universal/Asian Fit" (SKU 407N-02) which is slightly tweaked for higher cheekbones and a wider nose bridge. I ended up exchanging my pair with this modified version, and I'm so glad I did because they fit so much better and no more smudges! I have no idea if the original fit changed since my last pair, but I am happy that there is still a version that fits my head. No change in my ratings because the fact that these are awesome pair remains the same.*Original Review* : After crushing my last pair in my vest while traveling, I bought my third pair in the last 17 years. I keep coming back to Ho'okipa because I have not come across any other sunglasses that are as comfortable. They are so light that you almost forget that you're wearing them. My head is on the wider side, but the contoured frame fits securely without any pinching feel at all. The Neutral Grey lenses do a nice job reducing glares while maintaining the true colors.A positive change on this purchase was the inclusion of a collapsible case! This is the best spectacle case I have ever seen! It's lightweight, fits the Ho'okipa snugly, and it collapses flat into a 0.5"-thick candy bar when not in use! I can't believe how excited I am about a case!☺️I would highly recommend to at least try Ho'okipa! I love them despite their rather high price point.

I wanted to leave 4 stars because nothing is perfect and I reserve 5 stars for perfection, but... Honestly, these deserve 5 stars. I found one defect in the pair I got, the frame above the left eye is about 3/4 of a millimeter bent lower than the right. It's not noticeable without insane scrutiny. They're scratch resistant, extremely malleable, they have beautiful clarity and they fit comfortably without falling off easily. I can shake my head pretty vigorously without them loosening more than a quarter of an inch. They're what I expected for ~$140 and I am thoroughly satisfied.Besides that, the case is high quality, it has an inner shell to protect from crushing. Though it came in brown and it would have been better black in my opinion.Also came with a drawstring microfiber-esque bag with flowers but it has a hideous green background, not my favorite but not really what I was paying for either, so I don't mind.

Maui Jim makes the greatest sunglasses. They are stylish, good polarization, really cuts out the glare. Very comfortable to wear.

This is my 3rd pair of MJ Hookipa glasses - I love them so much I keep buying them! Ideally, they'd be one of your last pairs. My other two pairs have unfortunately fallen victim of me. The first pair my oldest son (then only 1 YO) grabbed them and snapped the plastic frame. The frame is pretty durable but not 1-year-old durable. Little did I know at the time that I could've sent these to MJ to be re-framed for $40. The second pair had fallen off my car not once but twice and survived but eventually fell off my shirt while out for dinner. Fortunately, I was able to get about 5 years use out of both. While others may argue "why are you spending $150 on sun glasses?!?!" I say "because they are simply the best!" They are lightweight, comfortable, and my gosh, the lenses are amazing, especially while flying or out by the water!

I’ve been wearing Maui Jim’s for the past 20-years and they have never led me astray. They are my go-to sunglasses for all outdoor adventures! They are polarized, lightweight and look sharp! On one occasion, I noticed a small crack near the screw where it is attached to the frame. Maui Jim’s customer service immediately sent me a new pair of sunglasses. Highly recommend all Maui Jim glasses!

I'm on my third pair of these sunglasses over the course of the last several years, and absolutely love them!Here are the things I like:1) They are light-weight and comfortable. I can wear these all day long with no problem at all.2) The polarized lenses are very good quality.3) The flexible frames will hold up to quite a bit of abuse.4) These look great!My single complaint with these sunglasses is that they're hard to clean. For some reason, when they get dirty it's hard to get the film off of them - and my wife's had the same experience with her Maui Jim sunglasses.I purchased my first pair of this model almost 10 years ago. Unfortunately, I hit my head on a door frame when they were pushed up on my head - and the lenses got scratched pretty bad (I'm 6'7", so that's not too uncommon for me....).At that point, I moved that pair of sunglasses into my wife's car and got a second pair for my truck.Recently, I've found myself driving her car more and more - so I finally replaced that original pair. (I know I could have just replaced the lenses; but, it always seemed like more of a pain than it was worth since they were working.)I am pretty easy on sunglasses, so they tend to last a while. I'm also generally not the kind of person who picks the same style over and over - so that says a lot about how great these are.Personally, if you like the look, I would definitely say you should give these a try.

Maui Jim Sunglasses are fantastic in quality and performance. They are the only brand I buy. I am surprised that company would pair their glasses with a case so small that the pair cannot possibly fit inside.This reduces my overall estimation of the product, since no reasonable method of protection is provided.
