Customer Reviews Maui Jim Ho'okipa Readers 1.5

Shortly after moving to Southern Cali, I sun burned my eyes by using cheap sun glasses on my light blue eyes. MJ's were recommended for the polarization, so I purchased my first Ho'okipa's. After several years of faithful service, the dog ate them. Of course I sprinted to the store for another pair, same style. It's been 18 years and 2 pair now. They have been dropped, thrown, sat on, stepped on, and slept in and only recently lost a nose pad. Thanks to the outstanding customer service of MJ, they will be repaired. Now my only dilemma is what do without them during repair...I see a second pair in my future! I think it's safe to say, MJ's rock!!!

These are my second pair of Maui Jim sunglasses. I tried them for the first time at a little shack selling swim supplies while visiting Maui. I had never experienced such a crisp, NO GLARE whatsoever view, YET the lens did NOT take ANYTHING away from the natural beauty I was experiencing on the beach. In fact, I was able to enjoy the beauty even more than before wearing the sunglasses.

The clarity of Maui Jim glasses is Star Wars These are 5 stars

I had a pair for almost four years. I broke the frame once and MJ replaced it within days. I broke an arm and they totally rehabbed the glasses for less than half the cost. So light that I often forget I have them on! Great on the water and snow. My wife got a pair and loves them. A replacement for the pair I finally lost is on my Xmas list.

I purchased them a week ago, my first pair of MJ's. I currently have more than five pairs of Oakley's that I have used for many years and these outperforms every other pair I ever had. The clarity is second to none, lightweight and the quality is awesome.

My head is kind of large and my face is round and full. I have a hard time finding sunglasses that look even half decent on me. But, these Maui Jim Ho'okipa glasses (I have the gloss black with neutral gray lens) work perfectly for me - like no other brand I've tried. Kanaha also works well for fat, round head shapes. (I owned Kanaha for four years before a guy stepped on them. I replaced with Ho'okipa. Both are excellent.)

Those are just a few words I can think of to describe these sunglasses. You get what you pay for is true when it comes to these sunglasses. I forget I am wearing them sometimes, that's how light and comfortable they are..

I bought these glasses about a month ago. They are so light weight. The fit is perfect and if you bend your head down they do not slip or fall off! We live on the water and they are so comfortable. Your eyes feel rested. No glare from bright sun shining on sparkling water!! I love them!

I have been wearing Maui Jim sunglasses for over twenty five years. Light weight, durable and good looking. Recently returned a pair that I had broken and a new pair with case returned within ten days. They stand by their warranties and truly understand customer service. They are the best!

I've had these Hookipa's around 5 years now. Use them mostly for outdoor sports like hiking, trail running and now road biking. Very light, great clarity and sun protection. Perfect wrap around to cover the peripheral. I own 4 pair of Maui Jim's so you can tell I really like their sunglasses. Compared to my old Oakleys, these MJ's seem more scratch resistant. MJ is also good at repairing sunglasses and/or replacing them if they can't be repaired. I've had to send a pair in when I broke a lens.

Excellent all around sunglasses highest quality. Extremely happy with Maui Jim's...I like them more than my Oakleys, and their more confortable

I bought these glasses with readers so I would be able to tie on flies without swapping glasses and they work great. They are very comfortable.

I've been wearing the Hookipa reader glasses for about 8 years. They have excellent front/side coverage and work well with nature, including fishing, hiking, traveling. Few weeks ago I tripped on a rock and hit the left side of my eye area in a "face plant." The glasses did not break, only scratched and literally saved my bacon. They work on many levels. Thank you Maui Jim!

This is my second pair of Maui jims... well with the investment. .love them..I won't wear anything but

By far the most neutral color of any sunglasses I have ever owned (Ray Ban, Bolle, Tifosi, you name it). These are actually DARK enough to get the job done. The lenses contain what I believe is Europium to provide a boost to red wavelengths that can be lost with some truly dark lenses...as a physicist and an engineer, I found this very impressive (look at the edge of the lenses in sunlight, they actually glow red). The sunglasses are so light and comfortable that I can literally forget I have them on. I also find that the anti-reflective coating on the back of the lenses is subtle enough to not cause distracting blue reflections, like some other AR lenses. As someone who wears sunglasses nearly every day (hereditary enlarged pupils), these are my go-to pair. I recently had new lenses put in as a repair...this was fast and VERY reasonable ($75 all-in and included new nose pads and a new case). You get what you pay for. These are certainly worth the spend and having them renewed for only $75 vs buying a new pair only adds to the value. Kudos, Maui Jim!

I was hesitant at first about buying a pair of $200 sunglasses. But after having them for awhile, I'm so HAPPY I did. I got a scratch on one of the lenses somehow. So I sent them into Maui Jim to get them repaired. To make a long story short, I sent them in and they sent them back a week later with a receipt that said I owed them nothing!! I was so surprised how they stood behind their product. I am now a MJ customer for life! Cory Colorado Springs

I have had these sunglasses for over 20 years possibly over 25 years can't recall the exact year I bought them. These are the best sunglasses I have ever put on. The lenses soothed my eyes as soon as I put them on, it was love at first contact. I recently had the nose pads come off and that was just within the last year. I got on here to see about replacing the pads. I can say without a bit of hesitation that you will not be sorry when you purchase these glasses, they are worth every cent!

I bought my sunglasses more than 5 years ago, and recently lost one of the nose pieces, found MJ's repair centre on line, rang them up (0800 number), and they sent out a new pair (nose pieces) FREE OF CHARGE. Great service.

Had my MJ's for two years. Had a slight crack but replaced straight away no issues. Went to Lahaina on holiday had scratched lens replaced. Excellent service , tightened frames etc. Lost a nose piece, one call free nose piece sent to me in 4 days. Fabulous service incredible product. If you are a runner these are light, polarized and easy to wear.

Have had these for 9 years, wearing in the tropics every day and got the first scratch recently. I just love them, they don't slip down, they are light, great for long days in the sun and so comfy. I lost them for 2 days recently and my eyes watered and stung the entire time I was without their protection. Do yourself a favour and get a pair.

I have owned a pair of these Ho'okipa sunglasses for 11 years. This is my second pair as the first were lost overboard. The polarized lenses are excellent and the natural grey tint is just enough darkening on a sunny day for my comfort. The service is excellent when a repair is needed. The first pair needed new lenses after I sat on them and Maui Jim repaired them to brand new condition. In the 11 years since, my eyes have started to falter and now need reading glasses. I was happy to find that there is a reader version available in this design, just what is needed for a good book on the beach or boat.

Maui Jim's provide great vision under any circumstances, and the Sport models are fabulous for bicycling. High contrast lenses help the rider determine whether the dark spot in the road is a patch (safe) or a pot-hole full of water (certain crash). Polycarbonate lenses are essential for cycling because of the risk of a crash. These are my third pair (they get lost every few years). Admittedly, polycarbonate is a trade-off. They chip or scratch more easily than glass, but they are lightweight, and much safer in the event of impact.

I've had a prescription pair for a bit over a year now and they are stylish, lightweight, and durable with Great optics. Recently had an issue with the connect point of lens to the nose bridge. Customer service was excellent and prompt. Looks like Maui Jim replaced the old nose bridge with a newer style that is much better. The few days they were in for repair just served to remind me how much I love these sunglasses. Definite high recommendation.

I picked my Ho'okipa rx's yesterday and I'm hooked. These specs are light weight and the lenses are fantastic. Maui Jim now has a life long customer! Oh yeah!

I have 4 pair of Maui Jims. I am happy with all of them. Hookipa are light , very comfortable and rap around to help when i outdoors working
