Best Sunglasses... now with a best case!
*UPDATE* (2023-07-22) : After wearing these for a few weeks, I noticed that I was getting smudges on the lenses so often that I was cleaning them all the time. Comparing to my old (broken) pair, I discovered that the new pair sat much closer to my cheekbones and eyelids (hence the smudges). The Maui Jim sales support kindly let me know that there was another version of Ho'okipa called "Universal/Asian Fit" (SKU 407N-02) which is slightly tweaked for higher cheekbones and a wider nose bridge. I ended up exchanging my pair with this modified version, and I'm so glad I did because they fit so much better and no more smudges! I have no idea if the original fit changed since my last pair, but I am happy that there is still a version that fits my head. No change in my ratings because the fact that these are awesome pair remains the same.*Original Review* : After crushing my last pair in my vest while traveling, I bought my third pair in the last 17 years. I keep coming back to Ho'okipa because I have not come across any other sunglasses that are as comfortable. They are so light that you almost forget that you're wearing them. My head is on the wider side, but the contoured frame fits securely without any pinching feel at all. The Neutral Grey lenses do a nice job reducing glares while maintaining the true colors.A positive change on this purchase was the inclusion of a collapsible case! This is the best spectacle case I have ever seen! It's lightweight, fits the Ho'okipa snugly, and it collapses flat into a 0.5"-thick candy bar when not in use! I can't believe how excited I am about a case!☺️I would highly recommend to at least try Ho'okipa! I love them despite their rather high price point.

Phenomenal!
I wanted to leave 4 stars because nothing is perfect and I reserve 5 stars for perfection, but... Honestly, these deserve 5 stars. I found one defect in the pair I got, the frame above the left eye is about 3/4 of a millimeter bent lower than the right. It's not noticeable without insane scrutiny. They're scratch resistant, extremely malleable, they have beautiful clarity and they fit comfortably without falling off easily. I can shake my head pretty vigorously without them loosening more than a quarter of an inch. They're what I expected for ~$140 and I am thoroughly satisfied.Besides that, the case is high quality, it has an inner shell to protect from crushing. Though it came in brown and it would have been better black in my opinion.Also came with a drawstring microfiber-esque bag with flowers but it has a hideous green background, not my favorite but not really what I was paying for either, so I don't mind.

Excellent Sunglasses, Comically Small Case Does Not Fit
Maui Jim Sunglasses are fantastic in quality and performance. They are the only brand I buy. I am surprised that company would pair their glasses with a case so small that the pair cannot possibly fit inside.This reduces my overall estimation of the product, since no reasonable method of protection is provided.
