I expected more
Bought a pair of prescription MJ. Within 2 months the lens started to separate from the frame. On warranty claim it was suggested I’d left them in the sun. Never left sunglasses in the sun in 30 yrs. They said on viewing for warranty the glasses were in perfect ‘as new’ condition So a few months later the other lens did the same - same questions. Glasses were essentially as new with 1 hr wear a day. So I paid over $1k aud for this ? Then the case breaks ..again I’m questioned ...again they view & say it’s in perfect condition (I use the case every time ) . Not what I expect for that money guys. Good lenses but fitting worse than any $300 of sunnies I’ve owned over my lifetime

I contacted Maui Jim in Feb/March this year and they couldn't track find any of the older style.

Maui Jim Waterman PC8G Sunglasses
Benefits; Large vents all around the frame allow Water out and mist to evaporate. The shape fits nicely over the contours of my face. Great for Fishing, watersports and driving. Brown tint is excellent in low light conditions. Unlike conventional glasses, these have a neoprene strap across the back of the head which is captive so the glasses will not fall off, instead of the conventional "wings" that hook over your ears, very comfortable. Would have to rate as one of the best Sunglasses I have owned.
Negative; After 23 months of everyday use, ...
