HCL Bronze

*UPDATE* (2023-07-22) : After wearing these for a few weeks, I noticed that I was getting smudges on the lenses so often that I was cleaning them all the time. Comparing to my old (broken) pair, I discovered that the new pair sat much closer to my cheekbones and eyelids (hence the smudges). The Maui Jim sales support kindly let me know that there was another version of Ho'okipa called "Universal/Asian Fit" (SKU 407N-02) which is slightly tweaked for higher cheekbones and a wider nose bridge. I ended up exchanging my pair with this modified version, and I'm so glad I did because they fit so much better and no more smudges! I have no idea if the original fit changed since my last pair, but I am happy that there is still a version that fits my head. No change in my ratings because the fact that these are awesome pair remains the same.*Original Review* : After crushing my last pair in my vest while traveling, I bought my third pair in the last 17 years. I keep coming back to Ho'okipa because I have not come across any other sunglasses that are as comfortable. They are so light that you almost forget that you're wearing them. My head is on the wider side, but the contoured frame fits securely without any pinching feel at all. The Neutral Grey lenses do a nice job reducing glares while maintaining the true colors.A positive change on this purchase was the inclusion of a collapsible case! This is the best spectacle case I have ever seen! It's lightweight, fits the Ho'okipa snugly, and it collapses flat into a 0.5"-thick candy bar when not in use! I can't believe how excited I am about a case!☺️I would highly recommend to at least try Ho'okipa! I love them despite their rather high price point.

my hubby loves them, and I loved giving it to him

Great product but pricey!

I'm on my third pair of these sunglasses over the course of the last several years, and absolutely love them!Here are the things I like:1) They are light-weight and comfortable. I can wear these all day long with no problem at all.2) The polarized lenses are very good quality.3) The flexible frames will hold up to quite a bit of abuse.4) These look great!My single complaint with these sunglasses is that they're hard to clean. For some reason, when they get dirty it's hard to get the film off of them - and my wife's had the same experience with her Maui Jim sunglasses.I purchased my first pair of this model almost 10 years ago. Unfortunately, I hit my head on a door frame when they were pushed up on my head - and the lenses got scratched pretty bad (I'm 6'7", so that's not too uncommon for me....).At that point, I moved that pair of sunglasses into my wife's car and got a second pair for my truck.Recently, I've found myself driving her car more and more - so I finally replaced that original pair. (I know I could have just replaced the lenses; but, it always seemed like more of a pain than it was worth since they were working.)I am pretty easy on sunglasses, so they tend to last a while. I'm also generally not the kind of person who picks the same style over and over - so that says a lot about how great these are.Personally, if you like the look, I would definitely say you should give these a try.

Awesome. This is my 4th pair over a 25 year period. Great brand.

Love how they're made. I've had glasses that do a better job in the sun but this pair is still the one I go to...Good quality--made well. A little expensive..I really don't know if I would purchase again because of the cost.

I cannot say enough about the quality of Maui Jim lenses and customer service. I've had this style for 15 years--from time to time replacing my old scratched up lenses through Maui Jim customer service. Mine were the bronze tortoise Hookipas. I decided this time to order a new pair of black with the dark gray lens. I like the style even better than the tortoise. However I was hoping the gray lens would be darker than the bronze, but I don't find that to be true. Also the bronze lens offer oomph in color perception--everything looks like a Disney movie through the bronze lens. This is good for gardeners who care how orange the hibiscus is and how ruby the throat is on that hummingbird in the backyard. Although these fit me fine, I have a large head. I don't think these are good for a person with a small face. Choose a different style.Here are the best qualities of these glasses: They are lightweight. No headache. They are among the most reasonably priced Maui Jims available. They are large and wraparound just enough for good coverage. They look cool. Glare is basically nonexistent. Have a problem? Call Maui Jim for attentive service.The downside is: They are lightweight enough that when you bend over they flop away from your nose. You really should use two hands to put them on, however that is true of most glasses.

I am disappointed in amazon. This was my second purchase of Ho--Maui Jim’s -the same exact pair -hello the glasses, HOWEVER, in the first order… amazon sent me the wrong case, much smaller than the case that Maui Jim actually gives their customers for “higher end- use till they break for 10+years” sunglasses. Many people collect them like watches cause they’re so beautiful. Luckily, I had my old case from my last pair of Maui Jim’s purchase direct a hard shell case, I used it to literal pieces. Now was Using the new case from Amazon, clearly too small smooshing in the glasses, and because the case didn’t fit once again.. for the second time.. they fell out- but I don’t know where so I can’t retrieve them.-These WERE my replacements and the same case arrived.. I really tried to make it work. I called Amazon. They said that’s the case to this day. They standby that word HOWEVER I’M NOT PERFECT, BUT I AM A PERFECTIONIST. I don’t lose things. I’m very diligent. - I called Maui Jim- they know me…and sent me the CORRECT case WOULD THEIR DEEPEST SYMPATHIES THAT THEY COULDN’T SEND ME A PAIR OF GLASSES CAUSE I BOUGHT THEM FROM AMAZON- and those sunglasses SHOULD COME WITH the correct case FOR THAT PRICE POINT. SOMEONE IN THE WAREHOUSE IS SWAPPING CASES OR MISSING THE fulfillment MARK. I have pleaded my case thrice to Amazon for my replacement glasses, I ALREADY BOUGHT TWO PAIR FROM THEM BOTH LOST BECAUSE OF THE CASE even with the evidence of the case and the backing of Maui Jim -over a few hundred dollars they will lose most of my business unless I need to use them Amazon that isNow , I’ll have to save up all over again, but this time I go directly to the MJ store.

Hasta ahorita muy bienMuy cómodos te protegen los ojos

Ich habe mich aufgrund der Rezessionen, dass es sich hier um einen Fake-Artikel handeln soll fast schon davon abhalten lassen, nicht zu bestellen. Aber als jahrzehnte langer Maui-Jim Fan und Besitzer von vielen Maui-Jim Sonnenbrillen kann ich nun sagen, dass ich hier tatsächlich eine original Maui Jim Sonnenbrille - genauso wie beschrieben - erhalten habe.Bereits beim ersetn Durchblicken erkennt man sofort die perfekten Farben, die nur durch die verschiedenen Maui Jim Filterschichten entstehen. Wenn man das einmal erlebt hat, will man nichts anderes mehr. Ich habe nahezu alle renommierten Sonnenbrillenmarken ausprobiert, ein Glas wie bei Maui Jim habe ich bisher nicht entdeckt. Die meisten anderen Sonnenbrillen färben das Sichtfeld je nach Farbe des Glases - es wird die Sicht entsprechend farbstichig und außerdem wird das Bild einfach dunkel.Eine Maui Jim schaltet die Blendung der Sonne aus, Kontraste nehmen zu, aber ohne wesentlich zu verdunkeln, jedenfalls nicht merklich aber alle Farben werden deutlich satter. Das Grün der Wiese wirkt saftiger, das Blau de Himmels viel intensiver blau, das Türkis des Meeres wirkt dramatisch. Durch die spezielle Polarisierung kann man tief ins Wasser sehen, da die Wasseroberfläche kaum noch reflektiert.Zudem setzt der Tragekomfort einer Maui Jim Maßstäbe. Die Brille ist leicht. Einmal aufgesetzt bleibt sie so sitzen und verruscht auch beim Sport nicht. Selbst einen ganzen Tag lang tragen erzeugt keine Druckstellen auf der Nase auch dank der speziellen Maui Gummi-Nasen-Oliven.Die Bügel und das Gestell sind typisch aus einem Maui-Jim-Kunststoff. Das Material ist hoch starpazierfähig.Eines verzeiht einem eine Maui Jim niemals : ein Mikrofasertuch, das nicht speziell für Brillen- Kunststoffgläser geeignet ist. Die Oberfläche der Gläser wird durch ein Mikrofasertuch sofort blind.Ansonsten sind die Gläser sehr resistent gegen Kratzer. Meine älteste noch täglich im Auto benutzete Maui Jim ist mehr als 15 Jahre alt und hat keinerlei Kratzer.Einzig: Maui Jim - was habt ihr Euch bei der bescheuertes Hülle gedacht. Früher gab es immer zu jeder Maui Jim Sonnenbrille ein sehr aufweniges Etui - ein ganz Typisches mit Reißverschluss, absolut unkaputtbar, meine ältestes Maui-Etui ist jetzt mehr als 20 Jahre alt und man sieht das diesem nicht an, es wird sicher noch weitere 20 Jahre halten. Das aktuelle Etui ist so beknackt, anders kann man es nicht beschreiben, das man hochbegabt sein muss, um es zu verwenden. Anscheinend reicht mein Intellekt nicht aus um die Brille darin zu verstauen, ganz davon abgesehen, dass in einem Koffer die Brille darin im Gegensatz zu den alten Hüllen, gegen Druck nicht geschützt ist.Zum Glück hatte ich noch eine Hülle aus vergangenen Jahren über.Nun muss man sagen, dass es Jammern auf hohem Niveau ist. Ein Etui kann sich jederman für wenig Geld auch leicht kaufen.

Ich liebe das Maui Jim Hookipa Modell – sie ist super leicht, die Bügel sind angenehm und die Brille sitzt perfekt. Besonders die blauen Gläser sind top und bieten eine hervorragende Sicht. Es ist bereits meine zweite, und ich würde sie jederzeit wieder kaufen.

Alles ok.

Very comfortable to wear. This sunglasses is the best choice in sunglasses. I had before same brand and it is just very good.
