Our Maui's developed a slight crack exactly where the screw was fastened. We returned them for their "2 year warranty," since we only had them a few months. After a couple weeks we got a postcard from "Joan" in the repair dept. telling us that these were discontinued and that we could select another $300 pair for "30% off retail." When we explained that would be more than we paid through the awesome Amazon system, she said we were out of luck! She even trashed Amazon as "discounting discontinued models" when our model was described as a new model on their own website! "What about the warranty?" She said, well, there seem to be other cracks (implying a drop, etc.). In other words, no honoring warranty unless you pay to replace them for MUCH more than you'd pay new on Amazon! IMPORTANT: This review is NOT against any of Amazon's fine vendors, it is about Maui Jim itself. If you want a great brand of sunglasses at half the Maui price, with FAR more honest customer service, and no "phony" warranty, try Oakley's new radar range or other models *NEW* OAKLEY RADAR RANGE Sunglasses l Metallic Red Frame/VR28 Black Iridium Lens. Maui's are cool, but if you encounter any problems, don't count on their warranty to be even close to honorable.

The supper thin frames are the solution to my problem. As a helicopter pilot, I got headaches from my sunglasses due to them being pushed against my head by the headset. Finally I can fly without pain. They are light enough that you shouldn't leave them on a table on a windy day, and you will often forget that you have them on your face. The polarization is excellent, and the clarity is as good as any pair of glasses I've had before.Best Deals for Maui Jim Kapalua Sunglasses
These MJ Kapalua sunglasses are tastefully designed with high quality lenses. The sunglasses are so comfortable you will forget you have them on. The Kapalua are not the gargantuan-sized frames which overwhelm one's face.There is one negative and one positive factor you should be aware of...
Because the frames are ultra-light they break easily. It is not unusual for the lens to crack where the frame attaches to the lens. (This has happened to my glasses twice.) The frame can also fracture without undue stress.
Maui Jim has repaired or replace my sunglasses each and every time, no questions asked. Mail the glasses back with a check for $10 and in about 10 days you will have a like-new pair of MJs.
It is important to A) purchase your MJs from an authorized dealer (if you buy MJs on ebay without the original case, they are most likely knockoffs), B) retain your receipt, C) keep your MJs in the supplied case when not being used, and D) use only a microfibre cloth when cleaning the lens.
These sunglasses are pricey, but Maui Jim backs their products well. Enjoy!
