Maui Jim recommends these glasses for smaller face shapes and we agree that due to the smaller shape of the cat-eye lenses and tight fit of the frames, these are best suited for those with smaller faces and heads. After lots of use in outdoor and upscale settings, we didn’t notice any damage to the durable lenses or frame, and the glasses come with a hardshell case that folds down flat when it’s not in use which is super handy for tossing in a purse or backpack. The lenses are also designed to be shatter- and scratch-resistant. After regularly wearing these for three months, we loved the gray tinted lenses, which had the perfect balance of darkness for both sunny and cloudy days. The sleek black acetate frames and thin glass lenses of these Maui Jim cat-eye glasses offer superior clarity and style. They will likely be too tight for larger faces.

The metal frames are thin and feel relatively delicate but they still feel secure on your head and plenty durable. Although, after six months of use, we don't think the lenses are dark enough to wear in direct sunlight or while driving, we're happy with the protection in indirect sun and absolutely love the style.

After trying the white frames with brown lenses and black frames with gray lenses, both impressed us with excellent clarity no matter the brightness levels outside.

Despite the light feel of the sunglasses, the handmade frame and crisp polarized lenses feel sturdy and durable, and they come with a hardshell case for safely storing them.

The dense material of the frames feels slightly heavy but very durable, and although we found a small scratch on the lenses, we think it serves as a good reminder to keep your glasses in the protective case when not in use to ensure the lenses and frames don’t get damaged. After six months of wear, both the brown and gray tint of the lenses effectively reduced glare in bright and dim settings and provided a higher contrast and more vibrant vision, even in direct sunlight for long periods of time.
