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

Mine broke in less than a year. Sitting on my desk to be sent off for repair

Gamma ray cheaters, $6, polarized lenses

I've had them for years. They do break occasionally, but, Maui Jim has the best customer service/return department which rivals Amazon IMO. I literally send back my glasses every few months just to get new ones for $15-$20.00 if the lens deteriorate or if the frame breaks.

I bought a pair (in Maui ironically) in June 2011. The lens began to get a discoloration or blemish, so I sent it to them and they sent me a new pair in 2015. Still have that pair. I love them. Sturdy as hell with thicker frame for wearing while exercising, fishing, etc.

I had mine for 7 years before I stepped on them. I needed a new pair anyway. A branch knocked them off and I loss my footing and crushed them.

The other time they broke I sent them in and they fixed them for free.

So only broke twice in 7 years. Plus they do have a light frame. Glasses used to give me head aches, Mau jims I forget they are even on.

My current pair is on year 3. But looking at some of the responses, people just don't take care of their shite.

Frames can be flimsy depending on what you get. Do you take care of your glasses?

Mine have held up over 2 years so far. Best lens in the price range imo

F no. Dont buy them. Ive spent enough on repairs to buy two pairs of Costas, and wish I had.

I'm looking forward to the day i actually lose them.

What about the Chinese knockoffs?

My Maui's do not hold up. I have three pairs and the nose piece has broken on all multiple times. However, Maui has an extremely good replacement and warranty. I've never paid for repairs. Usually get a week/two turnaround.

Costa holds up a little better and has a comparable warranty to Maui.

Ray bans hold up the best but it's $60 for repairs and takes about a month.

Edit: All three essentially offer a lifetime warranty. I've sent them in for manufacture defects (nose piece), sitting on them, dog chewed up (7 fricking pairs, but he's a good dog). If the glasses are no longer manufactured Maui will send the new model in replace.

The frames on my aviators did just fine, but I threw them in the car console all the time and the lenses are pretty scratch up after 3 years.
