Maui Jim Ho’okipa Sunglasses
Bolle Boa Sunglasses
First of all, it’s not stated in the description at all, but the glasses come with a sturdy, semi-flexible nylon case. It’s a great case. It has very soft, padded protective material on the inside and is built to keep the glasses from moving around in transit. It also has a clip on one end, if you want to attach it to something. You’ll also get a microfiber cleaning cloth, as well as the requisite company logo sticker.
So, the glasses. As has been stated in the 2 previous reviews, the frame is pretty awful. Think gas station sunglasses. The "Titanium" part of the product description refers to the seemingly spray-painted silver color. Looking at the inside of the hinges, it is apparent that the "titanium" color IS in fact painted on — the inside of the hinges are black, with a bit of overspray on the edges. This is inexcusable. That said, it hasn’t peeled or come of at all for me (yet). The frames are extremely light weight too, which surely contributes to the cheap feel.
All in all, the frames get ONE lousy star. Here: *
Now for the lenses. The lenses are excellent! I don’t know what the transmission is, but it seems to be just about perfect for me — great for toning down the bright midday Florida sun, but not as dark as many similar sunglass lenses are. The quality of the lenses is obvious as soon as you put them on, absolutely zero distortion and excellent retention of detail. These are up there with the best lenses I’ve ever looked through. Only time will tell if they can hold up to the rigors of daily use without excessive scratching. I’ll update my review as I take them out to do the things I bought them for - riding the motorcycle and kayaking, mostly.
