      Comments about Maui Jim Ho'okipa Polarized Sunglasses:

      I love these sunglasses so much I have 3 pairs - one for each car, so I never forget them. They are very light yet hold well to my head and do not slip around.

      The frames and lenses are durable. I lost one pair in a river (dropped them and they were swept away). A couple of weeks later my nephew found them quite a ways downstream. They were not scratched.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Maui Jim Ho'okipa Polarized Sunglasses:

        These are the best sunglasses I have ever owned. I have had a pair for several years and have dropped them too many times to count - their clarity is still amazing. They have nics and scratches on them because I've dropped them on concrete, but it does not affect the vision. They are incredibily light weight and comfortable, and the vision is great even in rainy / overcast conditions. I have worn in the saltwater with no corosion at all. [...]

          Comments about Maui Jim Ho'okipa Polarized Sunglasses:

          I've worn these skiing, although I did smash them while they were stored in their case when I wiped out but they perform well in snow situations. I took them on a 5 day white water rafting trip. They withstood constant drenching including me just diving into the river several times a day. Lightweight makes them easy to wear all day long as well.

            Comments about Maui Jim Ho'okipa Polarized Sunglasses:

            I've been a big fan of Maui Jim sunglasses for a long time. I recently became an even bigger fan after purchasing this pair Ho'okipa Sunglasses. It is part of their "sports" line and it's perfect for all the activities I do outdoors.
