Two questions:
What's the difference between the ho'okipa and the makaha glasses?
Is there a way to find a pair locally to look through? I've owned good and bad sunglasses and have basically shied away from buying both sunglasses and shoes online. That said, my optometrist swears by them!

The Maui Jim Ho'okipa is larger than the Makaha. They are both part of Maui Jim's Sport collection and are awesome! The Hookipa is Maui Jim's #1 seller and the Makaha is #2, so you can't go wrong. And yes, almost all optometrists/opthamologists love Maui Jims because of their outstanding optical clarity.
