I too own a pair of Maui Jim's. Mine are the titanium frameless with plastic lenses. I do a lot of flats fishing and these are by far the best pair of sunglasses I have ever owned. They really do make the best polaroid coating in the world and are the best I've ever used for spotting fish. If you want to spot fish like a guide, these are the glasses. One other thing I really like is you can wear them all day without strain on the nose or ears. I've even forgotten I have them on.

I use them only for fishing and use cheap ones for driving, etc. Someone once told me that you should spend money on things in relation to the time you spend with them. In other words, buy a good car, a good bed, a good recliner, etc. and for sure buy a good pair of sunglasses!

I recently bought a pair of $450 Maui Jim
aviator-style polarized, non-scratch, brown-tinted
glasses.

Pro:  I get a lot more looks from the ladies.  Women
must be able to sense money, because it sure ain't my
face or physique that's doing it!

Con:  I live *in fear* of losing them.  About a month
after I bought the glasses, I accidentally left them
at Coldwater Lake on Mt. St. Helens (4 hour drive
away).  Maui Jim will replace broken glasses, but not
"lost" or stolen glasses.  I got them back,
fortunately, but about once a week I think I've
misplaced them and start worrying until I find them.

My advice: If you need prescription glasses (and
aren't the 2nd to last person on the planet who hasn't
gotten Lasik) then get the most expensive glasses that
your insurance company will pay for.  A lot of plans
cover about $2-300/year, which is pretty good when you
think about it.

  Does it pay to spend for a "good" pair of polariod
sunglasses, or is the result (seeing fish in the
water) the same regardless of price?  Thanks for any
insights.
