Maui JimPolarized 709 Backswing Sunglasses

Great pair of sunglasses

Lenses are great. I think getting the dark grey lenses was a good choice. Frame fits me perfectly.

Need a pair that both stay on my face and stayed hooked in my shirt when I'm not wearing them.

As noted in other reviews, the lenses and general construction are wonderful, but they slide down my face. My face tends to be big so I thought that wouldn't be a problem for me, but it is. Have to be careful about looking down too long because they'll fall off my face onto the ground. Had the Ho'okipa before, which fit my face perfectly and stayed on no matter what. However, I lost a couple pairs of them because when I take off my sunglasses, I tend to just hook them into my polo shirt when I go inside or it gets dark. However, the Ho'okipas do not fold flat, the price paid for the nice wraparound fit on my face. Therefore, they fell out god knows where on a lawn outside at night. The backswing folds flat like most sunglasses and the weight of the glass lenses keeps them tucked in my shirt collar. Wish I could get the best of both worlds.

Great lenses, loose frame

I started reading the reviews after I bought them...One common theme pops up from the reviews, and I agree: they are too loose. The arms seem too "soft" or too spaced apart to keep the frame tightly in place, you get the feeling they can fall off easily. The lenses are awesome, they seem to be glass, so the whole frame feels a tad heavy, and maybe this also contributes to the loose feeling...Too bad they look terrific...hmm...should I return or not? :)

Backswing

I sent them back because the frame is too big and glasses slide off my face, otherwise they were good.

High quality polarized sunglasses

Fits perfectly and excellent coverage of eyes. Very clear and doesn’t strain my eyes on a sunny day. Overall, a bit pricey but worth it.

Awesome

It took me years to find a frame with glass rose lenses i liked on my face while i love the look of the hookipa poly lenses simply put suck compared to the glass lens like the rest of the reviews here my only complaint would be these shades will not stay on your face but their is a simple solution buy a a sunglass leash at the same time or you chance these falling off and breaking or scratching. Still i give them 5 stars the rose lens imho is the best

I recently ordered your Backswing glasses. I love the clarity in the glasses but have trouble getting them to stay up on my face. I took them to a local glasses shop to adjust them. They adjusted the nose pad but said they could not do the frame (arms) because they are made of steel. Can anything be done to stop them from falling off????

Slide off face

Love the glasses but cannot keep them in place. Slide easily as nose pieces not rubber like my other Maui Jim’s that are much less expensive.
