After losing 3 pairs of Maui Jim Typhoons [at about $150.00 each], my wife said no more Maui's for gifts. I wanted a "good pair of sunglasses" that were polarized, but didn't want "el cheapo's", or high end, high priced sunglasses. I spend quite a bit of time on the water, boating and fishing, and wanted a good pair of "middle of the road" sunglasses. I've had these years ago, and decided to give them another go. The reviews looked good, so I purchased another pair. The quality seems to be the same as years ago, and these Suncloud's perform just as well as the high end stuff. Can't beat the price or the performance out on the waterways. Get a strap for them , so they won't slide off your face and into the drink! Don't ask me why. Definitely knocks out the glare.
