Maui Jim Fair Winds, which I think were recently discontinued. Only bought these because I ran across them for ~$100 while browsing Oakleys on EZContacts.com. I had wanted to try one of the Maui Jim aviators anyway, so why not? They might be the tiniest but too big for me but only marginally.

When I first unboxed them, I thought they had to be counterfeit. They seemed too light and flimsy, and the top "bar" across the nose bridge is extremely thin plastic that will bend both up and down. I have since learned that the extremely light frame isn't really flimsy and is a hallmark of MJ design, but I have yet to figure out the purpose of the plastic filament. It appears to run continuously around the edges of both orbitals, so perhaps it provides some sort of seal between the orbitals and lenses. This feels like one of those things that more experienced sunglasses connoisseurs might know, any ideas?

I'm no Maui Jim connoisseur (I've been meaning to get a pair, just haven't yet), but I will at least say that those aviators don't look too big for you at all

Thanks, that does make me feel a little better about them. They protrude past my temples just a bit when viewed directly head-on, which seems to be a common standard for judging whether a frame is too big for one's face.

I own aabout a half dozen or so of Maui Jim's. They make a great lens! Almost all of mine are the Super Thin Glass lenses (STG), which in my opinion are thier best quality lenses, and the most scratch resistant!

I'm not super familiar with that rule, but it sounds like one I'm going to start using.

That being said, aviators can be pretty generous with the fit -- Oversized aviators can be pretty stylish.

I’ve had these for a bit (as RX)
Found some OEM Sun lenses online for a deal and swapped the lenses. Absolutely wonderful!!

I enjoy Matsuda glasses and sunglasses too . The top 5 are Buffalo horn was 925 sterling sterling silver solid and .925 sterling silver temples finished in 22k gold. I am going to have Chris A Hardaway cut some lenses at some point. he does amazing work, cutting custom lenses and doing prescription lenses at a very fair price.
