I think that it's common knowledge the leader in terms of optics for sunglasses would be Maui Jim. Then there are also other contenders that come close such as Revo and Serengeti. There are also companies like Costa DelMar and Ruddy Project that are highly regarded by those who own it but they aren't nearly as popular.
My question what's your preference for superior optics in sunglasses?
I am leaning toward Maui Jim right now because I tried on a pair of "Breakwall". The Breakwall are so light and they fit my face so well that I can hardly tell I am wearing them. Of course I don't know how good the optics are because I only tried them in the store. The lens is made of polycarbonate which to me is the lowest grade of material (best being glass of course). Given their reputation I think I am willing to try.
Maui Jim Sunglasses - *New* Breakwall
Any comments from any Maui Jim users on polycarbonate lens is welcome. Reviews on the site shows these lenses have a tendency to develop cracks and fractures.
Btw, I am pretty dead set on getting Maui Jim because time and time again I see owners comment on how they have been converted from the other brands to Maui after trying them (for Maui's superior lenses) . Although very few comparisons have been drawn between the Maui and Costa DelMar (another brand that I am highly interested in).
The primary use will be for on the water for fishing.
