I love Maui Jim's look, but 580 glass lenses on Costa's are so much better than any lense Maui Jim puts out...

I went to Maui Jim's feeling the same way as the OP and just switched back because the quality lenses just weren't there.

I have a pair of each. The Maui Jim's are nicer glasses but the Costas are better on the water

I never wear my Costas because I'm 30, but when I do I'm always surprised at how good those lenses are. My eyes feel like they're open wider. That said, my blue Persol lenses are really great too.

4 years ago wife bought me pair of Maui Jims, always took care of them, etc. After about 3 years the lens just cracked where it was screwed on. Called Maui and they said sorry it was out of warranty. I still wear them sometimes.
For Father's day wife got me a pair of Costa's with the 580 glass, I haven't been able to try them yet because I've been having an eye issue and haven't been able to wear contacts, but hope to try them out this weekend. I do like the fact that they have a lifetime warranty.

These are what she bought me...Costa Corbina, I might just exchange them.
