Used to wear Maui Jim's exclusively but they did not hold up. I switched to SPY's a couple of years ago and love them- they are very durable.

Best in the world. I have several pairs but one pair I wear daily and I've gone through one pair every eight years. The last pair isn't broken, but was ready to be retired.

So, yes... MJs are the best. Don't even listen to the costa tryhards, they are the epitome of buying for name brand

I am on my 2nd pair.
First where the plastic / metal frames that I had for 6 years before someone stole them. I replaced them with a pair of titanium frames 11 years ago with Rx lenses.

They still are in great shape.

I wear Maui Jim Breakwall's just about every day. When I'm not wearing, they're laying in the tray on my dash, so they just lay there in the sun. I've never had a single problem with them in 3+ years.

The guy I farm with has a similar style of Costa Del Mars that are complete shite. He has to send them in every year before our busy season to replace the lenses because they crack and get warped. By the end of the year, it basically feels like you're looking through beer goggles. So, at least they have good customer service.

I've had two pair over the last 15 years. Would probably still be wearing the first pair if they didn't stop making the repair parts.

My whole family loves them but I've just always thought most styles looked like matrix glasses. I got a 1st pair of Costas (Jose) about a month ago. Between owning Oakley, Ray Bans, Under Armour, Spy and handed down Mauis I'd have to say these Costas are by far my favorite.
