Maui JimMen's and Women's Peahi Polarized Wrap Sunglasses, Tortoise/HCL® Bronze, Large

Bought these for my wife after she had seen them at Sunglasses Hut and commented that she wanted them. Price was best I could find at the time with quick shipping. She loves the comfort and the wrap around style.

These were actually a loss replacement for a pair I bought almost eight years ago that were still in fantastic condition (save for a couple of minor nicks in the lenses thanks to intermittent butterfingers and toddler maulings), so I can speak to the longevity of the product, assuming my good friends at Maui Jim have made no major changes to production methods in that time. If anything, I think this latest pair is actually slightly improved over the old pair, as the frames seem to be more contoured to my oversized noggin (seriously, I wear a size 7 7/8-8 hat). Where the older pair kind of pinched right above my ears, allowing the slightly bowed-out front to 'bounce' a little on my face, these fit my skull more snugly without squeezing or leaving large gutters down the side of my head.In a perfect world, the lenses would be just slightly darker to both keep my light blue eyes happier and allow me more furtive glances when warranted, but I can't complain about them. Everything looks vibrant and they only leave me squinting when the sun's really directly in my eyes (though considering how sensitive I am to light, anything short of a welding mask leaves me vulnerable in that regard). The contours of the lenses and broad arms help keep bright spots from creeping in through gaps.Protection for sensitive eyes? Check. Good fit and look for someone with a head like a Peanuts character? Check. Proven durability over more than seven years of daily use in all kinds of climates and geographies? Check. These things are the best sunglasses I've ever owned and, if I ever lose this pair (knock on wood), I'll be back to buy the same ones again.

I have had the Stingray in the tortoise since 2016 and I love them. The Peahi in the tortoise is like a big brother to the Stingray. The fit is perfect for me just like the Stingray, not too large and these have the most amazing wrap out there. I can also snug these right up against my face without having my eye lashes raking the inside of the lenses, which eventually mucks up the clarity and requires frequent cleaning. Let me say that the tortoise frame is the one to get, MUCH BETTER than the rubber. It is not even close. When you hold these in your hands you instantly feel the quality of craftmanship, just as I do with my Stingray frame. Last week I received the Local Kine from MJ directly and the frames no longer say 'Made in Italy'. So not sure where they are made now. The tortoise frames are VERY comfortable, more so than the rubber, which left me feeling like I was slipping on a straight jacket, with the rubber frames there is not enough room for ventilation of your face. I can see why some complain of the fogging with the rubber frames. You will not have that issue with the tortoise, and not to worry, the tortoise frame blocks just as much ambient light from sneaking in. I was also happy to see that the outer box came label-sealed, ensuring that these have never been tried on by someone else, I included a picture of that. And the design of the other end of the box is such that it is impossible to open without tearing the box. So happy to have these!

I did not pre-fit these at a store and then purchase them at Amazon. I did call MJ and asked their opinion if with this set and only a 130 temple but with a full curve-8, whether she thought that someone who would wear a 145, possibly a 140 if this particular curve 8 would still fit me. She thought they would and I took a chance. Well, they fit like a glove. Everywhere is perfect--the bridge, temple lens and there is absolutely to sunlight leakage by my eyes. They weigh about 0.5 ounce and are very lightweight, using their very thin glass. The bronze keeps much of the UV rays out as well as the glare from the sun. Only their Gray is a higher rated and their polarization-2 which was created by MJ about 10 years ago, or so, is so good that other makes that claim their glasses and Polarized maybe, but not to this high a quality. My Opthomologist and Optometrist won't allow to wear any other make if they can do so. And, they sell other frames and glasses. But, hands down, these Maui's are at the top of the heap.

No hardshell case. Just a cheap "lens crafters style " case and a cloth. no pouch. Be aware

The new Maui Jim have a slight mirror effect on the lens.I really like the lightness of the frame.Unfortunately not the mirror effect style hence 4 stars.

Comfortable and look nice, I like that they don’t move around when I’m riding my motorcycle, I have them in black also and have the Maui sport also.

I have owned several pairs of these sunglasses over a period of many years! The new glasses are all plastic and cost the outrageous price of $250.00 US The lenses scratch easily and it's hard to even see the tortious design, The frames look more black that tortious shell! I'm very disappointed to say the least. Oh, and I mention that they no longer come with a hardshell case. Just some BS plastic folding case! Outrageous!!!
