Got some new driving glasses...Maui Jim

So I went to Sunglass Hut and picked up a pair of Maui Jim Wailea.

They are so comfortable on my face, it's like they're not even there. They have a titanium, hingeless frame with super light lens. The big thing is that they are polarized. I needed a good pair of driving glasses, and my Oakley Fives were not cutting it.

It came down to the Maui Jims or the Revo 3009s. And I picked the Maui's cause they just looked phatty...

Anybody hear good or bad things about these?

I own Revos, my G/F is a diehard Maui Jim fan. I must say I love those glasses I almost bought a pair last year.

i spent about the same on my oakley juliets, and they are the best pair of sunglasses ive ever owed. And this is my 3rd pair of oakleys and ive owned kiler loops.

They are so good and high quality im getting ready to replace the lenses soon cause have gotten a few scratches in the last 3 years, but the frames are as good and tight as the day i bought them!

Because they don't discount, that Mall rent is expensive.

I have the same ones, but with the brown color lens.

I love them!!! The best part is, I only paid $110 (dealer cost) because my best friend owns a sunglass store in Vegas

i have the same ones... they're alright. had to get them exchanged several times cause the damn shit gets bent out of shape real easily. you'll know what i mean. and watch out for the nose piece, that p.o.s. wire broke off twice. if anyone wants to buy 'em off me, i'll be willing to sell mine...

I've had those same ones for over a year. With the polorized lenses it's a little hard to see our clock, and I've never noticed how many "dots" are in our windows have in them even with other polorized glasses. They don't really fit in our holder and the case they come in is HUGE, but they are the only glasses I've ever worn that I can push up on my head in a hurry without them slipping down

Those are sweet...I had a pair of those for about a week and returned them because I need prescription glasses and I can't get myself to put contacts in my eye....but they are nice. My brother has those Maui's and he loves them....did return them once though to have some screws fixed since they got loose and fell off.

Very nice...between the Maui's and Revo's, you can't go wrong. Their lenses are exceptional!
