Default Maui Jim Sunglasses

Vermillion, is that red? What do you use red sunglasses for Bob?

The Maui's I have are a lightly mirrored upper and lower with just smoked

in
the middle. They give good contrast, and they are excellent during the
brightest part of the day. The Costas I have are vermilion, and they are
slightly better during lower light periods.

It's nice to hear good customer service stories like this. They sound

like
a first class company, but how about the glasses themselves. You said

you
had the Maui's and Costa's. How do you like either? What colors do you
have? Seems I always am looking for a good pair of glasses, but never

had
the courage to spend the bigger money. Of course, I have never fished

with
a "good" pair of glasses either. Maybe they are the latest thing I

can't
live without...

A lot of us here are always fighting to find the best sunglasses for

clarity
when fishing. We want to cut the glare and see into the water very

well.
I
have some Costa Del Mars, as well as Maui Jim's. A couple of months

ago
a
pair of my Maui Jim's got left on the front deck of the boat while we

were
fishing. When I put them back on a temple fell off. It may have been

a
defect or it may have gotten damaged laying on the deck of the boat.

I
set
them out of the way on the deck. When I picked them up later one of

the
lenses had gotten smashed.

I was not surprised that they had gotten broken under the

circumstances.
I
was disappointed though since that pair of glasses had been a present

from
my wife for our anniversary. I contacted Maui Jim hoping they would

help
me
out, AND THEY DID. I explained that the damage was not anything I
considered to be warranted, but that they were a gift from my wife.

For $8.95 for return shipping I sent them my glasses, and they sent me

a
new
pair. Cool. They did say it was a "ONE TIME ONLY: exchange to

promote
good
will with their company, but I was very impressed. I doubt I would

have
replaced them if I were in their shoes.
