womens Punchbowl Rectangular Sunglasses

This is my second pair of Punch Bowl shades. The first pair has dark grey lenses and I love them. I was surprised at the overall quality of these glasses. The glass lenses are optically perfect and quite scratch resistant as I have dropped them on concrete a few times and the lenses are fine. The two way hinges are very sturdy and allow you to put them on your head and they stay put. The rose lenses are dark enough for a sunny day and enhance contrast on a cloudy day. The inset nose pads are just perfect and very comfortable. I have sort of a narrow face and these are just right.

The glasses are exactly what I hoped for. Fit my smaller face well and are very comfortable. I love the subtle blue color on the inside, frame is black. It comes with a large case, but also a pouch style cleaning cloth that the glasses can be kept in. The price was very good. Keep an eye on the price as it fluctuates, went down a bit after I ordered mine, but only by a couple dollars. Still a great savings over regular retail price. Maui Jim glasses are very good quality and very stylish indeed! This particular color combo is great for wearing with jeans, but can be dressed up for sure.

I had these in the brown frame with the rose gold lens option, and when I needed to replace them, they were not in stock so I tried these with the blue frame and black lens. I could not be happier with this pair. Super comfortable to wear, does a great job of blocking out bight light, and are very well made. My eyes are pretty sensitive to sunlight and these are perfect. Maui Jim’s have always been my go-to for sunglasses and these are my absolute favorite pair. Highly recommended

WOW. Just WOW. I had cataract surgery about 3 years ago and my eyes are very sensitive because I have ocular implants. This, combined with a 45 minute commute - each way - to and from work and finding myself physically recoiling and wincing because of a few painful stretches of intense sun and glare, I suspected that I NEEDED better eye protection The first thing I noticed was how clear everything became. I didn't realize how much I was flinching or squinting in my 'other' sunglasses until I drove with these. In fact, objects along my drive became so clear that I actually found myself reading makes and models of cars in front of me. I don't care about the type of car of course, but with these glasses, everything is so clear, I was amazed (and perhaps a little amused) at the things along the way that 'popped' out at me. In a few weeks, I became desensitized to what I jokingly call my 'baby with a mobile' stage and realized that even on the brutal stretches of my commute, I didn't wince or squint at all. I will NEVER settle for or wear inferior sunglasses again. NEVER. (and the ones I replaced weren't cheap... just inadequate.) If you live in the sunny brutal Southwest - or more importantly, if you NEED the best sunglasses you can find, get yourself some Maui Jim's. One additional comment, I read many many MANY of the reviews before I purchased these and I have not found that these glasses create vision restrictions for ME. I have not found that frames are too wide - nor have I had problems with visual interfere. The built in nose guards are very comfortable and I have not had issues with acne, hives or perspiration. This has been an issue for me in the past because I have metal allergies. These glasses do everything I need them to do without creating any external/ personal aggravation. I LOVE these and down the road, hope to get another pair.

Love my new Maui Jim Punch Bowl sunglasses. My last pair of Maui Jim’s different model lasted for eight years and I wore the all time! One day getting into my car they were on the seat, did not see and crushed the glass I one lens. Surprisingly the frames were still intact! My warranty was no longer good and to replace the lens was more then I wanted to spend. I decided to buy a new pair. I have a smaller head and high check bones. The Punch Bowl fits perfect for me, no more lines on my cheeks after wearing for a while. From the photos you can also see with the wider bow frame, it blocks out the sun from the side too. I would definitely by another set and would recommend the quality unsurpassed.

Everything you can think of these Maui Jim’s hold looks, function, quality, style and Value…

Fit my wife ideally. Not huge like a bug, not teensy like standard Wayfarers, etc. The rubber on the nose grips well, prevent slipping. Thin glass lenses, not plastic. MJim will replace the glass for $60 plus shipping if you break (eg drop). The glass is slightly mirrored on the outside. Note: no one can see your eyes in these glasses; they are dark and slightly mirrored, so impossible to see users' eyes. The case is zippered, hard to use; plan on getting a hinged case. The MJ warranty, despite what others will tell you, is only for two years recently on all its sunglasses. Like that these are not as curved as other sunglasses. While not exactly flat as are, say, Wayfarers, they are flat enough to be hung over a v-neck sweater or t-shirt. Buggy, curved glasses cannot. They block sun spectacularly, and have none of the glare of cheap sunglasses. Despite what other reviewers have mentioned about poor peripheral vision, my wife--who has owned many, many sunglasses--says the peripheral vision is good. No issue. She uses them to drive, etc. Love the blue inside black look of these Punchbowls. She adores these sunshades. She looks cool in them and when she wears them, all I can think about is kissing her. ;-)

This is my second pair of Maui Jim’s. The first pair, same style, had started to peel at the inside nose after 6-7 years and caused skin irritation. I decided to replace and haven’t been disappointed. Same quality and style. I only wish they still provided a hard side case with the glasses. I got a triangle type case that’s a bit soft and would’nt protect the glasses much if you stored in a purse or luggage. I bought a $10 hard case from Target and that does the trick. Happy with purchase, even with needing to buy a hard case.
