MAUI JIM...anything better on the market?

[solinc]

I have had a pair of maui jim for ten years...want to update the style...are there any sunglass technologies better than Maui Jim? Just want info on technology not pricing...I really like the "glare-reducing" qualities of maui jim...my eyes are sensitive, in fact if I walk outside on a normal sunny day my eyes will usually begin to tear up without sunglasses...so I really depend on them...thus price is not much of a factor...I just want the ones that do the best job!

Thanks, Richard W.

Maybe I am biased, but I don't think you can beat them!!:)

i've been reading on the net for about six hours now(today) and I have yet to find any comparable lens coating technology that works like maui jim...I know their process is patented but surely, someone has come up with something equal or better in ten years! don't get me wrong, i'm not knocking them...I just can't believe something else hasn't come into the marketplace...i did read that B&L makes their lenses...is that true? if so do they (B&L) apply the coatings as well?

Thanks, Richard W.

Maui Jim has a 7 layer lens, that is patented as you said. I don't know who makes the Rx lens now, but the factory is in the Midwest. So far as I know B & L does not make it, but I could be wrong on that. At one time they were made in Japan (the Rx ones), but now its the US. Anyway, the mfr does the whole thing, whoever they are.

check out ice-tech sunglasses.

Maui Jim's provide the best that a sunglass lens can provide. They have glass lenses which provide better optics and scratch less. They are all polarized and the mirror coatings and anti-reflective coating are great. In my professional opinion, I agree with Lynn, you can't beat them!

What do you guys think about Serengetti's?

I like the brown tint much better.

Aside from absorbing certain wavelengths, and the quality of the PVA, What other methods are there to polarize light and increase acuity.

Mirror and AR coatings.

Wrap compensation/ prism.
