Maui Jim wearers, do the glasses hold up over time?

mine did not hold up, but they were a light frame.

The ones I got for the wife didn't make it a year.

Obviously it depends on the frame. I have a wayfarer-ish style that have held up fine. I'm sending them in for repairs now, but what I did would have required repairs for Costas or anything else.

I think they have elite, top tier lenses in terms of quality, but mediocre frames when it comes to durability.

Or are they flimsy? I know lots of you like them, but I need a pair of sunglasses that can take a bit of a beating. What has been your experience?

I've only owned Maui's since i graduated college. I love them. Now i don't konw about "taking a beating" as i typically get the wirefame type.

As someone who owns Maui Jim and Costas, I'd just get Knockaround's with the polarized lenses. For 30 bucks they're ridiculously good sunglasses.

This doesn't apply to the metal ones but my ray bans actually deformed in my car's sunglasses compartment due to heat. I avoid keeping them in my car when I'm not physically in it.

Mine were fine until I left them on my back bumper and let the tailgate down on them.

Here's a tip. If you send them off, they'll charge you 70$ to "repair" them, they sent me a brand new pair in the mail.

Some of you may ask, "kwalt1989 how do you know this?" Well I had a broken lens, dog had chewed up the frame a bit. Sent them off to get lense fixed, got a new pair. In the plastic, not chewed up.

Would love a pair of Mauis

Cheap sunglasses here. Finally bought costas and two months later this happened.
