Great Glasses

These were a present after his favorite pair of a different brand broke accidentally. I took him to Macys and he picked them out as a birthday present. He's very happy with them!

Dissapointing!

I was very pleased with these glasses (ordered with prescription lenses) until they started to self destruct after 2 months. Stress cracks in the lenses have developed where the arms and bridge connect. Note: use is typical and fairly low impact... driving, beach, boating, and fishing.

Temple Tips Pop Out and Yank Your Hair Out

I loved these when I first got them, but the tips of the little rubber inserts on the stems pop out after a while. These get caught on your hair when taking your sunglasses off and it's really annoying. Very disappointed that this happens with such a high quality product. Just a bad design on these. Would not recommend because of that. Otherwise, great sunglasses.

Banyans are a great pair of sunglasses for running

I was looking for a pair of wrap around sunglasses to wear when running. The objectives of the glasses were to 1) block some of the bright Southern California sun, 2) block the wind from getting to my eyes, 3) not bounce as I ran, and 4) stay up on my nose as I got sweaty during the run. Based on the fact that the Ho'Okipa model was recommended by Maui Jim as a sunglasses that was designed for running, I bought a pair. Right away, I could tell that they were a bit wide for my somewhat narrow face. Once outside and running, I found the fit to be superb as far as blocking the sun, not bouncing, and staying up on my nose. However, I did find that any small breeze snuck by either the outside or bottom of the lenses to the extent that I found my eyes watering as I ran. I quickly tired of this and decided to do some further research. I found that Maui Jim made a similar model, Banyans, that was designed to fit a narrower face and, in addition, had lenses that were both taller (deeper) and wrapped further around the face than the Ho'Okipas. So I ordered a pair. They were great. They did everything the Ho'Okipas did (blocked the sun, didn't bounce, & stayed up on my nose when sweaty), plus they blocked the wind excellently. BTW, I bought the Blue Hawaii lenses with the 2.50 reader option. The readers are great for my older eyes and allow me to see the small text on my running watch easily. If you choose to order readers with yours, be sure you check with your eye doctor to make sure that the reader power you order matches your need. My actual need was for 2.75, but since that was not available, I had to make do with 2.5. It's hard to tell the difference.

Perfect Golf Sunglasses

I was looking for good sunglasses for playing golf. I purchased the Banyans as I liked the way that they felt and also because the nose pads were large rubber pieces that appeared that they would not slide down during a round of golf. I am in Texas and often sweat during the course of a round. These glasses fit perfectly, they are very light, I often forget I have glasses on, and with their nose pads, they never slip down my nose, which is common with other types of nose pads. I am very happy with these sunglasses for active wear, especially with such activities as playing golf. This is the first pair of sunglasses in a long time that stay in place no matter how much I sweat.

Awesome

I’ve owned this brand for the better part of three decades. I’ve owned the Banyan style for twenty of them. They’re awesome. Keep up the good work MJ!

Best part are the lenses which put my cheaper sun glasses to shame! The clarity and brightness are amazing and the glasses are so light I don’t even know they’re on.
