Maui Jim Banyans Rimless Sunglasses

I was looking for a pair of wrap around sunglasses to wear when running. The objectives of the glasses were to 1) block some of the bright Southern California sun, 2) block the wind from getting to my eyes, 3) not bounce as I ran, and 4) stay up on my nose as I got sweaty during the run. Based on the fact that the Ho'Okipa model was recommended by Maui Jim as a sunglasses that was designed for running, I bought a pair. Right away, I could tell that they were a bit wide for my somewhat narrow face. Once outside and running, I found the fit to be superb as far as blocking the sun, not bouncing, and staying up on my nose. However, I did find that any small breeze snuck by either the outside or bottom of the lenses to the extent that I found my eyes watering as I ran. I quickly tired of this and decided to do some further research. I found that Maui Jim made a similar model, Banyans, that was designed to fit a narrower face and, in addition, had lenses that were both taller (deeper) and wrapped further around the face than the Ho'Okipas. So I ordered a pair. They were great. They did everything the Ho'Okipas did (blocked the sun, didn't bounce, & stayed up on my nose when sweaty), plus they blocked the wind excellently. BTW, I bought the Blue Hawaii lenses with the 2.50 reader option. The readers are great for my older eyes and allow me to see the small text on my running watch easily. If you choose to order readers with yours, be sure you check with your eye doctor to make sure that the reader power you order matches your need. My actual need was for 2.75, but since that was not available, I had to make do with 2.5. It's hard to tell the difference.

I was looking for good sunglasses for playing golf. I purchased the Banyans as I liked the way that they felt and also because the nose pads were large rubber pieces that appeared that they would not slide down during a round of golf. I am in Texas and often sweat during the course of a round. These glasses fit perfectly, they are very light, I often forget I have glasses on, and with their nose pads, they never slip down my nose, which is common with other types of nose pads. I am very happy with these sunglasses for active wear, especially with such activities as playing golf. This is the first pair of sunglasses in a long time that stay in place no matter how much I sweat.

The Mau Jim design quality is class apart and unbeatable .The best thing about MauJim sun glass is as soon as you wear them you get a satisfying cool and soothing feeling over your eyes and suddenly the images are transformed and appear as spectacular visuals due to the high quality lens. If Ray Ban is the Cadillac then MauJim is the Ferrari of quality sun glasses.

I’ve owned this brand for the better part of three decades. I’ve owned the Banyan style for twenty of them. They’re awesome. Keep up the good work MJ!

Best part are the lenses which put my cheaper sun glasses to shame! The clarity and brightness are amazing and the glasses are so light I don’t even know they’re on.

I love my Maui Jim's. I have 4 pair because I am tough on them. MJ's policy of fixing sunglasses is excellent.

Equal to the other two pairs of glasses that I have owned. Wouldn’t choose any other brand.

I love my new Banyans. They are lightweight, they wrap around my eyes better and have a snug fit. Plus I love the grey lens, it filters out more of the brightness! And lastly they look great on!,

I wasn’t able to adjust the fit to get the bottom edge of the lens off my cheeks. I had to return it. I’m asian without enough of a nose bridge. Glasses looked great.

High quality - Great repair service - The lens optics are far superior to any others on the market

I have been buying Maui Jim sunglasses for years. They are the best in terms of comfort, quality, and style.

I really like everything about these sunglasses, except how they fit me. They are just too big for my face. I would like to exchange them for a smaller pair.

Light and comfortable. Fantastic lenses. And fit perfectly. Great look!

Best shades ever. I recommend these shades to everyone I know.

I’ve been wearing Maui Jim Asian Fit Banyans for about 15 years. Got my first pair for running and quickly decided that fashion was over-rated. I broke my first pair. My husband stepped on my second pair. My dog chewed up the ear pieces on my third and fourth pairs but I continued wearing the fourth pair because they weren’t _that_ bad. At least until I lost them. On my fifth pair now and nothing else is as comfortable on my nose. Plus they don’t slide!

Love them. Other big brands hurt my ears. Yours are perfect. Thanks.

They are great on the golf course. On the golf grand you can definitely see the breaks better. I just don't know where to go to get them adjusted.?

The glasses fit me very well. I love the color of the lenses. This is my 6th pair after many, many years.

Love my MJ’s. So cool, so stylish. Strongly recommend to everyone. I need a second pair. Have lost 3 pair in the last couple of years. Help! Help! Please send me a 70% off coupon. Many thanks! Harold

Unfortunately they are too small for my head. They are similar to but not identical to my previous pair. Quality seems normal for this brand. They are nice but don’t fit me
