Thanks! This is such a cool topic, love seeing what people are wearing.
Yes, agreed! I used to live by the water and so I never went outside without Maui Jims - 365 days a year. Tried and lost many sunglasses, nothing beats those lenses, even lost a pair overboard once, grabbed some goggles and pulled them off the bottom because there wasn't a dealer on the island and I didn't want to be without them. Now in the shaded streets of the city, lens precision / performance isn't as important as it used to be but eventually I'll need to get another pair before they stop making glass lenses all together. The one thing I'm enjoying outside of MJ is the frame options, I always felt like MJ frames were good but not great, just chassis for the lenses which are the stars. I'm finding that I'm keeping frames a lot longer these days, just getting new lenses, and the MJ frames haven't lasted....
What are your favourite sunglasses this summer?
I’m switching between two pairs of Maui Jims. Brown ones and light ones. Being by the water most of the time I like the polarized glass they have. Enjoy! ...
I’m also switching between Maui Jim’s.
I used to be a fan of Persol but I now prefer the lenses of the Maui Jim’s (especially their bronze lenses). I’ve been using a black plastic pair for hiking and daily wear, and titanium framed, small aviators when something more formal is required. I’ve b...
Like you Jon, I used to be a Persol guy. But the quality isn’t what it used to be.
Maui Jims are good. Serengeti should also be good, and I’ve seen Ray Ban making Polarized glasses (again). Enjoy!
Here are mine
An Oliver Peoples Cary Grant, and a Peter and May, can’t remember the model ...
Sure does. Unfortunately they don’t fit me very well.
As with watches, so in sunglasses we have to try them on to see if they “sing to us”. Therefore I never bought shades online without trying them on first.
These 2 (I swear by Maui Jims, the glasses and the company)
First, I bought a pair of Serengeti when I traveled and forgot my Maui Jims at home. (How can one forget Maui Jims??) Serengeti are really good, found out. Fit well. Lenses adjust to brightness/darkness and that is cool. And the folding type is compact. T...
Great to hear Ron.
I heard about Mauis from a close surfer friend. At first I had a hard time finding a pair a liked, but when I did and I got used to wearing them - bingo! Great to hear about their excellent service. Like Apple used to be 25 years ago
My summer lineup. Persol, Ray-Ban and Cartier.
The Cartier have prescription lenses for reading at the beach. ...
Great line up.
Bring on the sun. Enjoy! Ps. Your Ray-Bans look like the ones Nico mentioned earlier in this thread. His in Titanium.
Seems like Persols are a favourite in here 😎
I mostly use my blue polarized glass when I’m at the water / ocean. You?
Long time Maui Jim fan but but wasn't happy with my last pair so switched it up
The classic Maui Jim GLASS lenses are amazing, the glass rose is the best lens I've ever worn, but have been less impressed with the plastic lenses and new flash /mirror coatings so no Maui Jim in the rotation ATM, trying out some new hardware: Matsuda Pr...
Super cool shades Fastwong.
I agree about the original glasses in Mauis are excellent. These ones are the best I ever had. I can look out at the ocean / water all day and not get tired in my eyes. But they are costly compared to the newer Mauis with plastic. ...

Like many companies they try to cut costs in the production I guess.
Ha ha I’ve lost a good pair too. When water skiing. Tried to dive after them when they fell off, but couldn’t with the vest on 🤣
Persol and Seregetti
Two pairs of each but I don't wear them anymore since I went to progressive lenses.
Jacques Marie Mage and Derome Brenner . . .
Like watches, I tend to be a snob when it comes to eyewear, especially since I need them to see! I see eyewear manufacturers that are dedicated to handmade eyewear! 1.) Jacques Marie Mage ‘Zephirini:’ 2.) Derome Brenner ‘Jacky 2:’ ...
