I’ve owned about 5 pair of Maui Jim Peahi’s over the last 15 years. I prefer the hcl bronze and the blue Hawaii. What says the OT? I’ve had some Costas but it seems the quality went down when Luxottica got involved.

I personally think MJ’s are the best lenses on the market for outdoors, specifically fishing.

I’m interested in Smith, Waterland, & Redfin. I’m hesitant with the Redfin because they do not offer glass lenses. Any suggestions?

I have a mix of good ones and less expensive ones depending on the occasion. Maui Jim, Raen, Revo, and a local brand. I wear the Raen Remy’s the most.

I Ike em cheap (when I was younger I wasted money on expensive ones a couple times). I like the Ugly Stick brand. Get em at Bass Pro/Cabelas.

Take a look at the Gatorz brand. I have a pair of Gatorz as well as Maui Jim's. My opinion, both have excellent lenses as well as customer service.

Maui Jim all the way. This is why Maui Jims are hidden all the way in the back of sunglass hut these days- luxottica owns Sunglass hut, Rayban, Oakley, and lots of others. I no longer go to sunglass hut bc of this.

I wear Maui, Bajio and Spy all the time. Retired my Oakley’s years ago but they are still floating around.

I’ve got a pair of the oil rigs that I use as safety glass to cut grass and weed eat.

Goodr is pretty elite. Lots of ridiculous colors but each style has something that looks normal. $25 for actual UV protection too.

Like your hookers huh?

I'm the same. Cheap, don't worry about them if they're scratched, cracked, broken, kicked, dirty, filthy, left in the alley.

There's a pair of Oliver Peoples sunglasses I've been looking for but it's out of stock everywhere.

I like sunglasses.

I have Botegga Veneta, Maui Jim, Vaurnet, Persol, Salt Optics, Costa Del Mar and Tom Ford. I tend to wear the Salt Optics the most but lately I’ve been wearing one of my pairs of Maui Jim.

I would like to get a pair of Oliver Peoples.
