Maui Jim Akoni Sunglasses

Item #MAU0079 | 7 in Stock

Great glass, as are all Maui glass lenses, and polycarb for that matter. The downside I found when trying these on was their weight. anyone else find them extremely heavy? They seemed to want to slip right off whenever i looked down. I had to take them back and get a light Ti wire frame instead cause I didn't want them to fall off and break.

Maui Jim's glass lenses are 20% thinner than conventional glass lenses, therefore they are 20% lighter. But glass is still a little heavier than polycarbonate or their Evolution lens material. If they are falling off when you look down , then they probably just need to be adjusted to fit correctly behind your ears. All Maui Jims can be custom fit to their owner.
