Customer Reviews Maui Jim Sandy Beach

I have had my Jim's for about 4 months and I love them. The lenses are the best plastic lens I've owned. The only thing I would change is to make the frames a little stiffer.

I recently purchased these and have tried them now for a few days. Love the lightweight and comfortable nose bridge fit, and the lenses are amazing in the way they filter sunlight and create clarity in strong sunlit conditions. I had my last MJs for about 15 years, hope these last just as long!

I bought this pair of my Maui Jims over a year ago now. Let me start by saying that this is my 4th pair of Maui Jims. With that being said,I love how well these fit my face and how they block out the rays. However, the white frame leaves something to be desired. The white has seemed to fade and now has an off-white tint to them. I will be returning these to see if Maui Jim can fix this.

MJ makes a lot of LIGHT weight sporty shades (Ho'okipa), that are a joy to wear--but these Lighthouses take the cake for LIGHTER than light. You barely feel them with MJ's comfortable sport rubber nose pads. Optics in the Bronze are very nice--the equal of any Bronze polycarb MJs I have tried. However, I bought mine on an impulse at the mall, and I wish I had waited and researched and read these reviews first--this model appears to have some problems with lens cracking in the same place, as reported over and over and over again. Mmmmm, we'll see...! I mean, even though MJ is GREAT about repair service and standing by their warranty, who wants to deal with that. No, no, no. I need my glasses daily, and waiting 2 weeks for repairs on recently puchased sunglasses is a thumbs downer...

I had these glass for several year. Had to send for repair once. One of the lens cracked at the bridge. Within a year or so, same thing happened, but before I could send to have repaired, they snapped in half at the bridge when a small wave on the gulf coast hit me smack in the face. Again, they are wonderful sunglasses, if your not too active and much easier to wear (lighter) than the Costas I had before. I've bought a pair of Ho'okipa Maui Jim. They are not as comfortable as the Lighthouse glasses, but I'm hoping they are more durable.

I see other reviews on here about the lenses cracking near the nose at the top. I have now had two pairs do this, each happening after only about a year. The company doesrepair them for the $10 fee but I'm getting tired of sending them back for this. The quality of the lenses needs to improve.

These are great sunglasses, but when I scratched one lens badly I could not find anyone to replace the damaged lens!

Light weight and very comfortable. They also do a great job cutting the glare. The only problem I have found is if they are dropped the coating is easily chipped. Be care and don't drop and keep in the proactive case.

This is my second pair of sandy beach sunglasses. Frame is super comfy but the lens positioning/size changed on my second pair. the lens tilt toward my face and cause lashes to touch lens.

I bought this a month ago and broke twice. First the nose pad broke while wipping the lens. The second one the frame broke off and the screw still attached to it. Sunglass was made very light weight materials but flimsy. I am sending it back

I love the lightness of the glasses and the flexibility of the frames, but the lenses always crack where they attach to the frame by the nose piece. I'm about to send them in to be repaired. Unfortunately out of warranty.

I really enjoy wearing my MJ Lighthouse sunglasses, however the bridge also has broken a few times on me. these need lots of TLC, I wish they made a carbon bridge.

However just sent them back to repair, lens separated at the bridge, lens cracked slightly. I'm not sure this style will hold together for the long haul... but I called maui jim, they told me to send them in for repair, sent today April 17, I'll let you know if they fix them. This rating moves to five stars if they do.

I bought these in Feb of 2013. I have had to send them back for repairs three times. I'm a casual user and careful with them. As reviewers have stated, the frames are pretty flimsy, not durable as the description says. The first time the earpiece broke near the hinge . The second time, the lens cracked where it connects to the bridge. The third time, the bridge broke in the middle. The repairs have been quick and under the warranty but I'm worried that they'll break again when the warrant is up and I'll be out of luck. I really like the glasses. I just wish they held up.

Great lenses and very light on the nose but , I feel I like they are to fragile I have a pair of Banyans and the lighthouse's the lighthouse break very easily 3 repairs in 2 years compared to none in 4 years with the Banyans

I would give these glasses 6 stars(out of 5) if it wasn't for the cracking. The lenses have now cracked twice by the nose bridge. I am sending them back again to be replaced. Otherwise I absolutely LOVE these glasses.

I agree with the previous review. These glasses were bought for me as a gift two months ago. I am always exstremely careful that they are put back in the hard case when I am not wearing them since they were expensive and a special gift. But to my disappointment I have found cracks in both lenses at the nose bridge. I love these glasses but totally disappointed that they do not perform well.

I bought these glasses 1 1/2 years ago and have already had the lenses repaired twice because the lens cracked at the bridge connection. I am extremely careful with my glasses, use them only for golf, and place them back in their hard case after the game. And, I only use them 6 months of the year. This is my 3rd pair of Maui Jim glasses (different styles), so obviously I love their glasses---just very disappointed in the quality of this style.

So here is the truth: they are nice, feel great, solid visibility, etc. But the lenses needed replacing almost immediately and the bridge also cracked way too easily. They are NOT durable.

The optics are great and they are very comfortable and light weight. The problem is that the lenses have repeatedly cracked at the bridge attachment under light use.

Love the lenses, but lenses always end up cracking at intersection of bridge. Obvious defect in design. I have had them repaired multiple times only to have repeated problem.

light weight is another way of saying cheaply made.... it has been awhile since i had my first maui"s and expected a similar product.. not even close....

I have now owned 3 pairs of these sunglasses. I love them. They are VERY lite and comfortable. Unfortunately, eventually all 3 pair the lenses cracked where attached to the nose bridge. To let you know how well I take care of sunglass, I still have my first pair or Ray-Ban Aviators I bought back in 1984. Regardless of how well I like them, if they don't hold up any better than a 10.00 pair of drugstore sunglasses they are getting a bad rating.

I bought 2 pair and my boyfriend bought 4 pair--all developed cracks where the frame is atrached to the lenses. My current pair developed cracks in first couple of months.

I want to like these glasses, but the lenses crack by the nose piece where they are attached to the frame. I am sending them back for repair. This will be a total of $60 in repairs on top of the $170 for the glasses. Bought the MJ Lighthouse and they are having the same issue. Very DISAPPOINTED.
