Maui Jim Sunglasses Lighthouse Gloss Black

The magnification is a little too high on the glasses. Would prefer to return and get the Hema model. The frame is too curved for my face. I have a wide face. The Hema is flatter and would work better. I have decided the magnification gets in my way for daily use while driving the way it is designed. It need to be smaller. The glasses would be better on a person with narrow face.

Another Maui Jim Winner

I lamented the passing of my old, out of production Nike Hardbox Square polarized sunglasses because its unique lens shape suited my roundish face features. So I was pleasantly relieved that this Lighthouse model nearly matched the same lens shape. It took a little getting use to the soft frame material, but I found that it easily conforms to my oddly shaped head with one ear a quarter of an inch higher on one side without having to bend the frame. Very comfortable and light with the usual Maui Jim high quality polarized gray lens which greatly reduces glare. Highly recommended.

Exact Best Sunglasses Ever

Not a sunglass guy at all, yet I have tried many pairs over the years and had limited satisfaction. My preference is extremely light (vs heavy), face hugging glasses with a high quality lens. After many, many years I found them Maui Jim Lighthouse sun glasses!!! They are the lightest glasses I have ever found, the quality is amazing, such that my wife has sat on them a couple of times in the car, but no issues and the lens is perfectly clear, perfect polarized lens that allows beautiful colors yet protects my eyes. I am not a sunglasses guy, but only for Maui Jim (Lighthouse) glasses!! Thanks Maui Jim!!!!

Fantastic

Bought my second pair after losing the first that I had for 8 years. These are by far the most comfortable and useful sunglasses I have owned. They are so light weight that it is easy to forget you are wearing them. They provide excellent vision and definition under most sunlit conditions. The only down side is the coating did start to peel a bit on the edges after about 5 years. The new case is also not as good as the previous version that was a zippered clamshell design with a carabiner style clip.

Finally found perfection

I have been searching for the perfect GOLF sunglasses for the past couple of years. After several failed attempts with other brands, came across the LIGHTHOUSE/Rootbeer Frame/HCL Bronze lens at my local course pro shop and BINGO! Love 'em! Lens color is great in all light, no distortion (no problem reading greens). Frames are super lightweight (hardly know you have them on).

Fits different then the ones being replaced

This is my third pair of Maui Jims and the second being the Lighthouse series. For some reason this pair does not fit as well as the pair purchased a few years ago (which was lost or taken during Christmas vacation)The nose pads not only hurt my nose but leaves marks on one side where they are ill-fitting.They also sit crooked on my face so will try to find someone at an optical store to attempt a correction, which I didn't think I would need . Just hoping I don't have to pay out of pocket that much since I didn't buy from them. Maybe I just got a bad pair :(

Love \& Hate Relationship!

This was a love at first sight. At the store they told me this model would take just about anything, and they do, but after 6 months of taking sun and use, the bridge gets weak: the bridge may brake and the lenses may crack where the bridge connects.I had 4 pairs of this model for the last 5 year, the first broke because I was showing off to my friends how flexible, light and stylish they are, and the leg broke, Mau Jim replaced them at not charge, the second pair don't remember what happen but also broke but it was my fault and pay full price for the replacement, third I lost the in a speed boat but the 4th pair broke in the bridge from regular use and one lens cracked. MJ customer service has always been excellent and worked with me to find the best solutions.I ... MoreThis was a love at first sight.

MJ customer service has always been excellent and worked with me to find the best solutions.I come to the conclusion after reading others reviews and my own experience that this 5th time it will be the last I will have these sunglasses and is a shame, because if only MJ fixes the flaws, this model could be a legend.Pros: Super lightweight, you won't feel that you wear them, excellent lens vision, stylish, they fit and look great in every person.Cons: Be careful that the legs are not too tight because overtime constant opening it may create too much stress in the bridge and lenses, this may cause them to crack.I hope this review helps you to choose or not and how to take care of these sunglasses.

Sadly Disappointed

The fit, style, color of these glasses are great, but the durability and something about the lens really changed shortly after purchase. I followed the care instructions and even brought them back to REI within 3-4 months showing them of what looked like discoloration and the person who helped me said it was just oils from my hair. I know this review is much later, but please be ware, I would never purchase these sun glasses again and have never been so disappointed. After spending $180.00 dollars, I should have purchased their cheaper sunglasses for $50.00 or some other brand. I have rarely worn them and ended up purchasing outside of REI from Roka, which I know will stand behind their brand and consumer expectations. I love REI aside from this one experience and ... MoreThe fit, style, color of these glasses are great, but the durability and something about the lens really changed shortly after purchase.

The Ultimate sports unglasses

I own these and have for as long as I can remember, they are simply the best athletic sunglasses you can get. The are incredibly durable and are made to simply come apart rather than break. I can't say how many times I have accidentally sat on them and the arm simply comes off vs. breaking. If the arm comes off, it pops right back on with no damage. Even though the arms and nose piece will come off, they do not come off that easily, I have never had a pair come apart unless put under stress you'd think would have broken them. I wear them running, biking, water sports, they are so light that I have hard time wearing other sunglasses unless driving. The lighthouse are without qualification the best sports sunglasses ever made, realistically why others attempt to field ... MoreI own these and have for as long as I can remember, they are simply the best athletic sunglasses you can get.

They don't make me dizzy!

Sunglasses rarely even approach fitting my face and always made me feel dizzy and uncoordinated without depth perception. I tried on Maui Jim Lighthouse in neutral grey several years ago and never looked back. Great for long drives and living in SW Florida at the time. Back in Southern California now and I still have the same pair. No scratches or cracks. I take care of my things so they last and I'm happy with the result.These are super light and the rimless design allows for better peripheral vision. I have long eyelashes and they don't touch! They sit well on my skinny nose, which is usually a problem and they don't overtake my face! They really do an excellent job of cutting glare and I can drive in bright, direct sunlight without squinting. All around great ... MoreSunglasses rarely even approach fitting my face and always made me feel dizzy and uncoordinated without depth perception.

All around great choice.I added a pair of the HTs to my driving options recently in the same style. They really do allow you to see indoors and have excellent contrast. The green tint is mild and you stop noticing after a few minutes so it doesn't bother me like I thought it would. I wish Maui Rose was offered in this style as I like it way better than the HCL bronze as far as clarity. I recommend this brand to everyone and even bought some Breakwalls for my husband and Sugar Beach for my parents.
