Maui JimMen's Local Kine Polarized Wrap Sunglasses

After many attempts with cheaper sunglasses, I decided to go back to my long-ago favorite Maui Jim's.It's a world of difference. Super clear, polarization works beautifully. I can read with them on, even in the brightest sunlight. The UV blocking works as advertised (as proven by my sunburn "mask" recently). I love the mirroring effect and distinctive blue color.I've included cropped photos of how these sunglasses fit on my large noggin (L/XL hat-size).There's also a clever new case that's barely larger than the sunglasses, very lightweight (but sturdy) and folds completely flat. A vast improvement over the bulky old cases.Honestly I cringed at spending this much on sunglasses (and why brand-name sunglasses cost so much is an interesting story unrelated to this review) but the quality is notably, palpably better than even 50-100 dollar models. Glass lenses instead of plastic make a huge difference in refraction. The build is solid.But one word of advice? Get some sunglass "keepers" (cord that fits the ends of the earpieces) so your expensive new purchases with glass lenses doesn't end up on the ground (or in the ocean).Recommended.

I recently purchased the Maui Jim Local Kine sunglasses in shiny black frames with grey lenses, and I couldn't be happier with my choice!The design is incredibly versatile, seamlessly complementing both casual and polished outfits. I absolutely love the color combination of shiny black, grey, and maroon— it gives them an upscale and sophisticated look. Comfort is key, and these sunglasses deliver; they fit perfectly without any pressure points, so I often forget I'm wearing them.The polarized lenses provide outstanding clarity and effectively reduce glare, enhancing colors and depth perception. They excel in bright lighting conditions and offer excellent sun protection. Additionally, so far, the durability is impressive.While they’re not the cheapest option, the fact that these sunglasses are priced under $300 is remarkable given their exceptional quality. Highly recommended!

These glasses are so light that the case feels empty. They fit so no light comes around the frame.The green/blue filtering they do causes a slight pink tint that is weird for a day or so then not noticeable.Optics are perfect.Polarization is effective but different from regular polarized. If you hold them up to the sky and rotate them, there isn't a change, but they do cut glare well.They also look pretty cool. The green color is striking.

Comfortable fit and good eye protection, light weight

Would have rated them 5-star if it werent that the side arms are not wide enough

La calidad de polarización de Maui Jim no tiene comparación. Cómo esperaba mi esposo quedó feliz. Los espejos verdes se ven espectaculares. 100/100

Got them for my husband for Christmas - he loves them!

Love the lens clarity and color, comfort is average. After an hour or so of wearing, I need to take them off or will get a headache. They are also extremely fragile. I had only owned them for a few weeks when they got bumped off my head and fell to the ground. They didn’t fall very hard, but the right lens scratched easily, right in the middle. I then found out lens replacements are $75. My inexpensive sunglasses are much sturdier, and for the price of the MJ’s, plus the price of (annual?) lens replacements, I think I’m better off going the inexpensive route and buying new glasses from a different brand every year. I wanted to love these, had heard amazing things, but the value proposition wasn’t there for me.
