Maui Jim Hookipa Polarized Rimless Reading Sunglasses for Men & Women - Lightweight UV Protection for Driving, Fishing & Outdoor Activities

Like all Maui Jims, these fit well, look great, filter visible and UV light very efficiently, and cost more than you probably want to pay. I bought this pair for a recent trip to Iceland, and wore them on a snowmobile expedition on Myrdalsjokull Glacier on a bright, sunny day. Everyone wore sunglasses or goggles of some type -- and everyone else complained of the blinding sunlight or brilliant snow/ice reflection (or both), but I did not. They were great for automobile driving as well.My one complaint is with the reading lenses, which are placed too low for reading. That is, in order to use them to read, you have to cock your neck at an impossibly high (and uncomfortable) angle, or physically lift the glasses off of your nose and hold them up with one hand. I understand (I think) why they were designed this way, since I have other bifocal sunglasses on which the reading lenses are too large, or too high, and they interfere with normal (distant) vision, which is annoying. I'm sure that the Maui Jim people deliberately placed the lenses low to keep them out of the way, since sunglasses are used for reading only a fraction of the time. Still, I wish that those lenses were slightly higher or larger -- but it's not an important complaint, and certainly not worth subtracting a star. If it weren't for the extortionate price tag, Maui Jims would be, in general, the perfect sunglasses.
