Glasses other than oakley?

Re: green lens

I still have this one, from my cheap lenses:

The front is red-mirror, which I think looks good in my white Half-Jackets:

I do not hate it, which was a bit of surprise to me,
& why I would like to see what the MauiHT is like. I do enjoy a lens that makes a crappy-weather day look bright.

I have the same problem as you with the nose-pads making marks on your nose, but for me it is my cpap makes those marks on the top of my cheeks.
Damn, getting old is for The Byrds

Maui-Jim Blue-Hawaii vs. Maui Jim Maui-Sunrise
The Sunrise LOOKS like it would be a joy with lots of Rose pop, but alas...

Today I was wearing Oakley Shallow Water & thinking it has a fair bit more Vividness & warmth than Sunrise. I got home & compared them side-by-side in the sun & the Sunrise actually looks grey in comparison.
Weird

I guess I am just accustomed to that Prizm Pop. I will comment though, that the Sunrise & Rose M.J. do not give me eye-fatigue like the Blue-Hawaii did.

Stopped by the local Bajío dealer today & tried on the Rose & Violet, to be honest I could not even see a difference, but I was standing indoors looking at their all-glass entrance door.

I do love the pastel frames!

I sort of wish I had these, instead of the World-Cup:

Kaenon Salton
Weird to me, but the view from the Salton's green mirror is almost identical to that of the Copper len in the Kaenon Hard Kore, just with a lower VLT.

It has a hint or rosiness, but nothing like Costa's Green Mirror.
The Clarity is exceptional however, & in a 'blind' test I am sure I could not really distinguish this from a SuperThin Glass Maui Jim lens, such as in my World Cup pair.

I suffer from Obsessive Curiosity. I just needed to know what these were like, even though I generally avoid rull-rim, unless they have a very short lens-height or they are designated Universal-Fit.

The Zeal Salidas are both, very short lens & designated Asian-Fit in their filters.

I got in the other Ho'okipa today, the standard Maui-Pure lens.
It was absolutely filthy & I was sure it was damaged, but after a wash it was just fine.
Sellers are sofa-king lazy!

Maui-Sunrise is a smidge more rosy than the High-Contrast Bronze in the Maui-Pure & just a smidge less Neutral than the Blue-Hawaii

SuperThin Glass has the best Saturation, & Maui-Brilliant the least.
 
oops, I completely missed this CRACK in the latest arrived Ho'okipa yesterday

It became incredibly noticeable when I disassembled it to put into different frames,
& now I know why the seller took their 'front' photo like this:
