Somebody left a pair of these at a summer party my parents had in the '90s. We could never figure out whose they were, so in the end I got to keep them (both my parents wear prescription sunglasses). At the time I was a kid and thought they were kind of ugly "old people" sunglasses. Now that I'm an adult I've rediscovered them and couldn't be more pleased. Considering how old they are, they are in great shape. Solid construction, study frames, good quality screws, the lenses have no scratches after 15 years or life. Even the rubber nose pads are still in good shape, though I should probably have them replaced. The style is great too - not something I would have appreciated when I was a kid, but a classic aviator style with a more elegant shape than the standard, square aviator. If they're still built like they used to be, these sunglasses should last you a long, long time.

I am on my second pair of these glasses. A little on the heavy side for some (due to glass lenses), but I think it\'s worth the trade off.\r\n\r\nSturdy and comfortable frames.\r\n\r\nExcellent customer service from the company. My first pair was replaced at no charge due to some unusual damage on the lens coating that showed up several years after purchase.\r\n\r\nIn my experience you can\'t go wrong with Maui Jim.

This is my third pair in 3 years. Living in CA, I wear them daily. Great for cutting glare ocean/snow. I check/tighten the screws every week, to maintain proper fit.

My husband loves these glasses so much that we've replaced them now 2 times! (Once from being run over, once from being stolen.) They fit his face well and offer him great eye coverage after his Lasik surgery. Great investment.

Let me start with the positive: The lenses in these glasses are amazing! I own over a dozen pairs of Oakley and Costa Del Mar glasses and these Maui Jim's have the best all around lenses; they are dark like a black iridium Oakley lens yet stil intensify and brighten colors. Now the negative: They are heavy! They might be the same weight as my 580G Costa's, but they feel heavier... I feel more weight on my nose through the nose pads even after getting them adjusted perfecly. I wish they weren't so heavy because the lenses are the absolute best I've ever looked through. Keep in mind that this review is coming from someone who's go to everyday pair of sunglasses are plastic framed and polycarbonate lensed Oakleys.

I love the comfort and style of the Kahuna (mj 162-23 59/18-130) and (mu 229-16 58=18 135). I use the when I go for a run...I am sad to say i stopped to tighten my shoe and my glasses fell off my face on to side walk. One lens on both glasses were shattered. I know it's asking a lot would it be possible to get replacements and in the future, can I purchase warranty. I have been wearing this make for several years. I usually do not use them for running but I have problems with my retina and must have proper protection. Thank you. M. Dothard

I have been buying Maui Jim sunglasses for span of more than a decade. The latest classic model I purchased is more amazing than the previous one.The style is very classic chic. The lenses have such a clarity of view that is unbelievable. It is very comfortable wearing it for long time and it stays in place very securely. I use it during my bicycle ride and it is more than I asked for. Thank you Maui Jim for designing and making such a great product.

This is my third pair of Maui Jims. I have one on each car with bronze and they are optically superb for driving. I wanted another pair for bright sunlight near water, snow, ice so purchased this pair with the grey lens. As with the other two superb

Had the family in Kona this summer. My wife and I both have Maui Jims while the daughters don't. As we hung at the Lava Lava Beach Club over Mai Tais, admiring the amazing view, we shared our sunglasses with our daughter. I wish I had recorded the moment as they practically fell off their chairs seeing with "Maui Plus". Incredible. If I'd have had a box of them, I could sell them to every person there.

My Kahunas just turned 7 years old and look brand new. I wear them almost everyday. I absolutely am loyal to the Maui Jim name for life.

Old Kahunas and the old Keanu's are my favorite frames. These frames just fit my face well. Have several pairs of each. The HCL bronze lenses (although not shown in my photo) are my favorite lenses. I've had all brands worth speaking of, Maui's are hands down the best. Wish they still made the copper/tortoise HCL bronze version of the kahuna, luckily I own both flavors.

This is my second pair, first got eaten by my lawn mower, after 10 years of great use and I had to get a second pair. Thanks to MJ for staying with proven products and keeping them available. Great product and the only shades for me.

The pair that I just purchased were an exact replacement pair that I had for over 13 years. I was boating with a friend when I was thrown from the back of the boat due to over acceleration and my glasses were on my head, fell off and went to the bottom. I was considering looking at a new style, however these fit so good and the look is just timeless. I really cant say enough good things about them. The previous pair I had sent back to Maui Jim twice to have the scratched lenses replaced. Maui Jim replaced the lenses at a very reasonable rate and one of the two times both the lenses and the frames were replaced. Fantastic customer service.

I've worn Kahun's for over 10 yrs, The only reason I'm on my second pair is I forgot them at a restaurant, I'd gone in during daylight and left after sunset and no one turned them in...

I just had my pair stolen after having them since 2001. So disappointed. When I first bought them I was treating myself to a gift for doing well in my new endeavor. Since then, I have bought my wife and both boys Maui Jims. It's now time for a new pair. I fell in love with these because of the glass, the weight (I like sunglasses with some weight; not too light) and the clarity. These were the perfect introduction to Maui Jim. Me and my family will be lifelong clients. Maybe they should have a loyalty program to reward those of us who've chosen to only buy Maui Jims? Well, I think I may try a new pit this time. Maybe the Castaway frames. As much as I want my Kahuna's, I'm feeling a bit daring for a new style. Though I'm sure I'll still buy me a new pair of Kahunas for my birthday in October. You'll love these glasses. That's for sure. RIP my first love.
