Maui Jim’s Baby Beach sunglasses are lightweight and perfectly designed for smaller faces.

Maui Jim Baby Beach Sunglasses Review

Price and Where to Buy the Maui Jim Baby Beach Sunglasses: At the time of writing, the Maui Jim Baby Beach sunglasses were on sale on Amazon starting at $235 or on Maui Jim’s website for $299.

How the Maui Jim Baby Beach Sunglasses Rates:

Usefulness: 10/10. Most adult sunglasses look way too big on me, which is why I love the Baby Beaches–they’re designed for smaller to medium faces. Plus, they block out 100% of harmful UV rays and 99.9% of glare, to keep your eyes safe.
Value: 8/10. Although these are expensive, they’re worth it. The lenses are super thin, lightweight, and scratch/shatter-resistant. The sunglasses come with a two year warranty, and nose pads and temples can be replaced for free.
Portability: 10/10. These are the most lightweight sunglasses I’ve ever owned!
Durability: 10/10. The frame is made from pure titanium, and the hinges are anti-corrosive. The lenses are designed to last as well, and are made from a scratch and shatter resistant material.
Cool Factor: 10/10. The Baby Beaches come in cool colors (gold, silver, or silver with a blue mirror coating) and look really stylish.

Final Verdict: If you have a small face that’s usually swamped by regularly sized sunglasses, treat yourself to Maui Jim’s Baby Beach sunglasses!
