Local Kine - the ultimate outdoors glasses!
Wearing the Local Kine with the Maui HT lens is the perfect all-around glasses for varying conditions on the water. These are a very comfortable and have become my go-to set of Maui Jims when guiding in Maine! Cloudy or sunny these glasses and lens have you covered! I would highly recommend these to anyone who enjoys the outdoors!
Maui Kine w/ Maui HT lenses
I love my Local Kine sunglasses! It was time to replace my 15 year old MJs. I went with the Maui HT lenses because I added readers and I wanted them to work in lower light conditions. I don't regret the choice. The lenses work great indoors and out. The UV protection and polarized lenses filter out enough sunlight that they still work well in bright conditions. I don't notice the green hue. Everything just looks crisp and vibrant. I have a fairly large head and a long temple length, and these frames fit me well. Thanks MJ!
NOSE PADS LAST ONLY 6 MONTHS POST REPAIR
I love the sunglasses but have to give them a 1 star because of the nose pads. They are bonded to the frame so require sending to Maui Jim for repair... which after 6 months of use I did send in. Repair went well and now 7 months later the nose pads are splitting, peeling and breaking off AGAIN!! I have contacted Maui Jim to see what if anything they will do for me. These glasses have the "reading" lenses at the bottom and so very useful when boating. And note I have been taking care of them, using the case etc.
i still have my prior pair of Bronze lens Maui Jim. Love them. they had a glass lens not poly and for some reason they are truer to life color. and slightly darker. the new pair of HCL bronze I am told is not a glass lens (and does have prescription) .... and they are brighter (less dark) and definately have a yellow tint my prior Bronze lens does not have. i definately preferr my prior Bronze glass lens but am told all prescription lens are in the hybrid not glass. other than that they are excellent thanks very much Robin. ps My daughter asked me for a pair of Maui Jim Starfish frame sunlasses. I'll have to figure out how to get her a pair . my best to you Robin
Love the Local Kines
Don't pay attention to the negative feedback...glad I didn't also. I just picked these Local Kine in Maui Green up. They are great. Sure the new lens is different than the traditional black when looking through them, but the color is still amazing. I've exclusively worn Maui Jims since 2006, and I have had almost every color lens. Like one other reviewer said, the black lenses will be my got to but this new green is an awesome addition!! The polarized lenses from Maui Jim take a bit to get used to if you have never owned a good pair before, so it's an adjustment when you are switching from cheapies. The style of the Local Kine is great also. All around great pair of shades.
Fantastic has become MORE Fantastic with the new green mirror lense
“Best Mauijim sunglasses I have ever owned”. A direct quote from my husband who has been wearing mauijim sun glasses for the last 25 years! I too wear Mauijim and I am tempted to purchase a new pair with the new green mirror lense! What an amazing lense, it brightens but filters the painful sunlight at the same time! Both my husband and I have enjoyed the classic Mauijim wrap glasses especially for outside sports activities! Thank you for improving a product that was already fantastic! I will be ordering a new pair for myself in the near future as I really would like the new green mirror lense!
STAY GREEN
I have a few pairs of Maui Jim's, but the Local Kine style has to be my all time favorite....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE hear me out...I need you to make a Local Kine style with the Translucent Matte Grey frame when using the customize option. I have a pair of Local Kine's on the way as I'm typing this review, so don't forget to add the Translucent Matte Grey frame....I need that option big time.
Low quality nose pieces
Loved the glasses when I bought them. After 5 months the nose pieces are trashed. I cannot get these lenses clean. No matter what I try it’s like I’m just smearing the grime instead of removing it. Soap n water, lens’s cleaner…nothing seams to work. I agree with the supplied case brought up in other reviews. On a positive note my wife loves her pair. Probably my last pair from MJ.
Great pair for outdoor activities.
Probably my 10th pair of MJs. Buddy had on this model and loved the look. Wanted something for sports, running, biking and maybe tennis. Went the custom route with the Khaki and Rose lens. Love them. Note, the rose lens is darker, but are amazing in bright sunlight. The myMaui custom is great. Can do something a little different and have the same 30 day guarantee. Love my Maui Jim’s.
No More Costas For Me...
I've been wearing Costa "Saltbreak" sunglasses for several years and I didn't think anybody made better fitting and looking glasses. Luxottica bought Costa del Mar some time ago and the customer service has become a challenge to navigate. I live in North Florida and Costa was in Daytona. Years ago I sent a pair of Costas to them for new lenses and the process was very simple. Recently I bought a new pair of Costas and they arrived with loose temples and the screws stripped. I called them up to find out how to resolve the issue and the process was so convoluted that I told them to just issue a refund. I got the refund and went shopping for new shades. I ended up buying a pair of Maui Jim's "Local Kine" and I really like them...especially the green mirrors. A couple months later I ordered another pair of "Local Kines" with the khaki frames and neutral grey lenses. I'm converted...no more Costas for me. Finally, the Maui Jim's also seem to have much better contrast than the Costas with similar colored lenses.
