We have lucked out with our summer this year - in between the usual rain and blustery winds we have had some wonderfully sunny days. Unfortunately, this has resulted in my partner’s usual dodgy sunglasses tan line along the right side of his face. Normally I would see the funny side of this, but with our wedding fast approaching I struggled to find it amusing. So, imagine my relief when the Maui Jim Breezeway Sunglasses turned up in the office with its super thin, anti-stupid-thick-tan-line frame.

The Breezeway Sunglasses have large frames and come in three frame colours: silver, gold and rose gold (we received our pair in silver). They are made from lightweight titanium with anti-corrosive traditional hinges, giving them the perfect balance of flexibility and durability whilst remaining lightweight. The lenses are MauiPure, Maui Jim’s most popular lenses, providing crisp optics in a super-thin glass, excellent scratch and shatter resistance and an extremely low weight, making them comfortable to wear all day long. These shades come with a choice of four lenses - the Neutral Grey has the highest light reduction for rich colour and contrast, making them a good choice for bright, direct sunlight conditions; Blue Hawaii (the style we received) are Neutral Grey with a blue mirror coating over the top, which looks very cool; HCL Bronze is a versatile lens with a warm tint, ideal for changing light conditions; finally, Maui Rose is a subtle rose tone that is the most comfortable on the eyes (yes, you really can view the world through rose tinted glasses!)

The Maui range uses PolarizedPlus2 technology that not only protects your eyes from glare, but also damaging UV, to reveal and enhance colours and contrasts. The lenses are 63 x 47mm, with a frame bridge of 16mm and temple length of 143.

These lenses were a big hit with my partner – they have excellent optics, are comfortable and stylish. They even come with a microfibre soft bag (that can be used to clean the lenses) and a protective hard case (slightly too big for our glove compartment…our only gripe). RRP £255
