In this article, I’ll dive into the standout features of our best–selling performance shades from Maui Jim. Renowned for their superior quality and durability, they will make the perfect pair of sunglasses.
Inspired by the beauty and culture of Hawaii, their mission is to spread aloha through vivid colour, clarity, and detail. For those who appreciate the sun, Maui Jim provides more vibrant colours of the world while protecting your eyes from the harsh effects of glare and harmful rays.
Maui Jim understands that colour and light are essential to the human experience. Their sunglasses reveal the full spectrum of these elements, allowing you to see the world in a way you’ve never imagined. We believe that everyone deserves to appreciate the vibrant colours that surround us daily.
Maui Jim frame styles include a variety of options such as wrap, rectangular, fashion, classic, aviator, cat Eye, and rimless. Every pair of Maui Jim sunglasses features advanced PolarizedPlus2 lens technology, which not only protects your eyes from glare and harmful UV rays but also enhances and reveals the vivid colours of the world around you.
With high–efficiency polarized film, our lenses eliminate 99.9% of glare, making it easier for your eyes to see more with less strain. To ensure durability, Maui Jim apply a scratch–resistant treatment to both the front and back of the lenses. Hydrophobic and oleophobic treatments on both sides of the lenses repel water and grease, making them easier to clean and maintain. Sunglasses block 100% of harmful UV rays and offer comprehensive protection against blue light (HEV), safeguarding your eye health.
Choose from an array of stunning colour options, including Natural Grey, HCL Bronze, Maui Rose, and Maui HT.
Natural Grey provides maximum light reduction for bright sunlight, while HCL Bronze enhances contrast for varying light conditions. Maui Rose features a delicate rose tint with superior contrast, ideal for fast–paced sports, and Maui HT allows for the highest light transmission, offering incredible depth perception. Many models allow you to add a “reader” feature, so you won’t need to juggle between sunglasses and reading glasses, even in bright sunlight! You can choose from +1.5, +2.0, and +2.5 strengths, and further personalize your polarized reader sunglasses by selecting from a variety of frame styles, colours, and lens options.
For single vision or multifocal prescriptions, Maui Jim offers ophthalmic frames that can accommodate a prescription range of +3.00 to –6.50, using MauiBrilliant and Polycarbonate lens materials (note that Maui Evolution sun lenses are not compatible with ophthalmic frames), boating, and hiking. Plus, the frames are lightweight and designed for all–day comfort. To learn more about Maui Jim lenses, feel free to visit us instore.
