Maui Jim, hands down. Best customer service I have ever experienced from a company. I paid about $185 ($265 retail) for some Banyans 6 years ago, I still have them. I’ve sent them back once as my wife broke them by crushing them with her hands accidentally in New Orleans, sent them in expecting to pay for a new frame ($90), they sent them back and said they were covered under their 2 year warranty and gave us some extra nose pieces (rubber wears out over time).
I recently picked up a set of the Hookipa model (bronze lenses) and love them. They are a bit lighter than the Banyans, which are smoke lenses.
Maui Jim are the type of sun glasses that if you take care of them, don’t lose them, and treat them like a pair of $200 sunglasses, you’ll get your moneys worth out of them.
If you lose sunglasses, toss them around like $10 gas station sunglasses, and are generally rough on them, buy something else.
When you wear something for 10+ hours a day, you wanna make sure it’s quality and it is doing it’s job. Until I started to wear Maui Jim’s, I would wear cheap polarized sunglasses and had headaches towards the end of a sunny day. I asked around and someone suggested dropping some coin on Maui Jim’s as they had the best polarized lenses on the market. I took the gamble and am glad I did, the headaches stopped and now there isn’t a day I don’t wear my MJ’s.
