I have a gift card for a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses. I don’t know squat about nice sunglasses, I’m a $14 polarized Walmart special kind of guy but I got a gift card from my job. I’d mainly use them fishing during the summer off the Oregon coast, and also while driving.
Looking for recommendations.

Whether is costas or mj.
I prefer glass lens.
Their website should give a run down on what color lens serves what purpose.
I usually go with blue or green mirror.
MJ has some red mirror out now.

MJ's "Rose" is my favorite offering from them. IMO/IME it allows one to see deeper into the water than grey or brown. I've had all 3 from Maui and 3 sets of Glass from Costa.
Hard pass on glass lenses for me, not even close to worth the weight.
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

Does Eastern Oregon have a coastline? Hee hee! I don't know what 'model' I have, but the MJs I've worn the past couple years are polarized with the blue lens. Very comfortable, durable. Seem to be good in the scratch resistance category too. Like them a lot. Were about $200 retail.

Have 2 pairs, kipahulu in tortoise and Spartan reef in marlin, both with bronze lens. Absolutely love them. I’ve had/have Costa’s, native’s and Smith. Smith the only ones close.

Nice, well fitting sunglasses are one of life's greatest pleasures...IMHO
I wear contacts and the sunglasses are basically a must for dust.
Feel naked without them at work.

I wore the dark grey MJ Hanalei for two pairs worth. I bought the plastic lenses w great results. Good luck. They’ll change the way you see things in the water.

Feel naked without them at work. Same here. Live outside and I’m never without mine. Had PRK surgery 4 years ago and my eyes are sensitive as hell to light now.

"Plastic" is a bit of a "catch-all" term. That said, all 3 of Maui's "plastic" lens offerings are excellent. In terms of optical performance their "least clear" material has an ABBE value of 43. The Human eye can detect an ABBE value up to about 45, after that, most won't see the difference. There are exceptions but consider "45" a good rule of thumb. For comparison's sake, most polycarbonate lenses have an ABBE value from 31-33 and it's the "least clear" lens material available, doesn't matter if it's sunglasses with no prescription or clear lenses in your everyday prescription glasses, polycarbonate is the least-clear piece of lens material you can put in front of your eyes.

I fish in Maui Jims and had them put readers in the lens. Now I don't have to take off my glasses tie a knot

I have kind of a big head (ha, sure) and some of the reviews suggested Southern Cross for fit. Anyone have these?
