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.

No, maybe I got the color wrong. If I had to describe it I'ld say it was
somewhere between bronze and amber. It gives unbelievable contrast in low
light circumstances over some of my other polarized glasses.
