Maui Jim Sugar Beach Lifestyle Sunglasses

I love these sunglasses! I've been wearing Maui Jim Sugar Beach sunglasses ever since I was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration (about 7 years ago, it's early stages and I'm not interested in it progressing!) and my eye doc said it was imperative that I wear good sunglasses whenever the sun is up. He recommended Maui Jims because no matter which frame you get or how much you pay, you'll always get the best lens and eye protection. This is the second pair I purchased from this seller, I recently broke the first pair I bought and Maui Jim has super customer service that stands behind their two-year warranty. They'll even repair things you break (like the temple).Update: May 3, 2019. I'm still wearing these sunglasses, I have two pair, one with brown lenses and one with black/grey lenses. I love the eye protection as well as the style and the fact they are so light. The give to get on the weight is that I seem to break them once a year. (They give you a great case, I really need to use it!) I'm getting ready to send the black ones back for new lenses, the cost is $75 but way cheaper than new glasses and they usually replace anything else that needs replacing or tweaking. I can't say enough about their customer service. Great glasses and great support, AND my Macular Degeneration is holding steady, not just because of these glasses but they certainly are part of the overall eye care and protection that is helping me.

I have owned every brand of high end sunglasses from Oakley to Costa to Rayban and even tried some more moderate brands like Tifosi and Hobie. My problem is that I want multi use shades for running/biking as well as casual wear. Another problem is that most of these glasses put pressure on the bridge of my nose even though they are promoted as lightweight. The MJ Sugar Beach are really light weight above all the others and do not put pressure on my nose. That may be a personal thing but they are the most comfortable pair of sunglasses I have ever worn. I have seen a few reviews about durability for these and while I have just had them for 3 months and take care with cleaning them, I have played in the pool, biked and ran with them and have not had any problem with fragility. They are very crisp as far as optics but I will say that Oakley and Costa maybe slightly better but not materially so and do not offer the comfort. The style is cool too, Aviators are a great look for all types of faces and compared to the originals (Rayban) they are much lighter-no comparison. May not be for everyone but these are definitely for me

UPDATE: 1-8-18. Smashed my face into the cockpit of the jet I fly. Glasses snapped right down the middle of the nose part of the frame. I sent them out to Maui Jim to fix. Online quote to fix was $50. They charged me $10, and sent them back with 2 day shipping completely fixed and lenses cleaned. A+These are the most lightweight sunglasses I have ever owned. They are fantastic.My mom owns a pair too and their warranty is second to none. She lost hers outside, and they sat in our yard through a whole winter...found them in spring scratched beyond belief. She sent them in and I think they charged her $20 maybe to get them fixed. This is about the fourth time she has destroyed them in one way or another too...They are very comforatble too. No awkward placement on your face or having to bend the frame to adjust to ear heights...since they are a lightweight plastic they adjust incredibly easy to sit right.

Love the look, but a bit small vs. the one size fits all. I am Asian, so I need a wider frame and also don't have a very good bridge on my nose. A bit jealous of the thinner faced people. Good glasses, will keep them because they look good and are much lighter than Ray Bans.

I have had these glasses for a week. Firstly, I saved $65 buying them on Amazon. .. they are incredibly comfortable and light. The little arms are flexible abut seem strong. The lenses are very clear and block out glare and sunlight really well. They are the most comfortable sunglasses I have ever worn, as well as the most expensive. But I must say that I won't wear cheap glasses again! I did purchase a string so that the glasses wouldn't fall off and scratch, as I have a tendency to drop my glasses often. I have purchased cheap sunglasses in the past which always broke quickly or scratched to the point where I couldn't see out of them well.

I've had a few pair of Maui Jims and I think these are one of the best brand of sunglasses. The clarity of the lenses and for people with active lifestyles, these are the best. I got these for driving and some volleyball. These are so light weight and I don't get any sinus pressure or headaches from these. The nose grips are fantastic. I have an oily nose and its so annoying when they slide down and I have to push them up constantly. These are great for just casual wear too. As some other reviews have pointed out with the hinges on the side, I could see that these might need some tightening after some use but time will tell. I'll update this review if it becomes a problem.
