Maui Jim Cyclone Sunglasses - Polarized

September 22, 2009

Both the Cyclone and the Shoreline are Rx able, but it depends on your prescription because there are limits. Also, there are many lens choices from MJ, so price is dependent on what you choose. As far as quality goes, MJ makes all of their own Rx lenses so you will receive the same quality as the non Rx version. Your local eye Dr should be able to help you out. You won't regret getting MJ prescription, they have the most state of the art lab in the world!

I have a pair of these and they are great! The Glass lenses are clear as day and are very tough. As far as the Temples having too much bow; they have a metal core in the temple so they can be custom fit to your noggin (no matter how big!) just take them to your Eye Dr or a sunglass specialty store and they will custom fit them for free!!!

Maui Jim Kaimana Sunglasses

April 18, 2009

Anything Maui Jim makes is awesome for salt water fishing since all of their lenses are polarized and have a water proof coating on them (H2O just beads up and rolls off!). Maui Jim is the Title sponsor of many Marlin fishing tournaments in Hawaii. One of which I was lucky enough to attend (amazing fun!). I obviously wouldn't choose anything other than Maui Jim.

Maui Jim Ka'anapali Sunglasses - Titanium Polarized

If the temple broke then Maui Jim will replace it for FREE. Just go to a local dealer and they can order new temples from Maui Jim and change them out for you when they come in...all for free! This is one of Maui jims best sellers and it is made of Titanium so I dont think you should be having breaking issues. But, if you are then the great news is Maui Jim always takes great care of their customers!

YES, You can buy either the Hookipa Reader or Makaha Reader and they both come in powers of +2.50 (or 1.50 or 2.00). Most other styles can have your Rx put in them by Maui Jim, but that needs to be done through an eye Dr.

Contrary to the previous review, this is a great pair of shades! This style has been unchanged since the mid 90's. There are other larger styles, if you so chhose, but this frame fits me perfectly! The glass lens is unmatched in clarity and the flexon frame is virtually indestructable. Amazing as always!

Maui Jim Pele Sunglasses

Maui Jim Pele Sunglasses

Rating for this product: 5 January 16, 2009

This glass is one of the most comfortable glasses ever! It is very light weight and hugs your head. Some people have had issues with the arms breaking, so I spoke with Maui Jim and they said if I do have a problem, arms are FREE forever! So, not only are you getting a great sunglass, but you are getting a better warranty. I think if there is a problem, what matters is how the company backs up their product. I have owned several Mauis and will own several more!
