Son gave me some new Maui Jim Fishing Sunglasses (in gift card form so I could pick out the ones I wanted) for my birthday and I just ordered those.
Nice. When's your birthday?

Taking a break from lawn duties in order to charge the weed whacker's lithium battery. Hoping I was gonna get more life out of that thing. Rethinking not going with a 2-cycle gas one.
Son has one works ok but not up to par with good ol petroleum power.
It works fine and I have so little to do. If I were only edging, it would have been perfect. But I was also whacking the weeds in between the pavers. Got a bit overzealous.

/I have  Maui Jims my bride gave me in 98 , don't laugh ,  the lens are glass and scratch or chip very easily, they were almost 200.00! bucks back then,But my favorite are Rayban wayfarer I have had since  2000,Yes I am prone to getting the good out of stuff
Afternoon Short Stack

I have got some wayfarers even older than that and wear them when driving, great sun glasses.  They are not polarized and much better for seeing through tinted glass.

I also have some very light weight Maui Jims for the outdoors but for fishing in the flats the Amber/Bronze lenses are far superior and that is what I bought.  They were $239 retail which is about the middle of Maui Jim pricing but got them online for $197 no tax and no shipping.

Not much different in the Wayfarers but new Maui Jim glass lenses are a lot better optically and more durable.  Thinner and lighter too.
/My Mauis are a lot heavier than the rayban
New Maui's are lighter than the older ones, similar to wayfarers I think.  My light weight Maui's are "frameless" they call them and extremely light but fragile.  That Said mine were about 5 years old and I sent them back and they put new "frames" on them free, great warranty.

I used to own Wayfarers. Wonder whatever happened to those. I find that the older I get, the less I can tolerate wearing them. So I squint, instead. ☀️
