Aloha! Born on the sunny beaches of Hawaii in the early 1980s, Maui Jim® Sunglasses were born out of need. In this case, the need was for a sunglass that would eliminate the harsh Hawaiian glare without distorting the beautiful colors of the island scenery. Everyone said it was impossible — the elimination of glare and color clarity just did not go together. After years of research and development, the impossible became a reality.

Now you can open your eyes to a whole new world of color with Maui Jim Sunglasses featuring PolarizedPlus®2 lens technology—the most advanced polarized lens technology on Earth. It has the power to face down glare and extinguish it completely. Maui Jim’s patented multi-layered lens design allows more usable light to be transmitted to the eyes. Unrivaled visual acuity, contrast and color are the exquisite results. You will experience deeper, more saturated colors and higher levels of contrast in any environment.

Maui Jim continues to revolutionize the sunwear world with the introduction of the Maui Evolution® lens. This proprietary lens material is made for those with active lifestyles. It offers the best qualities of Maui Jim’s ST (SuperThin) glass and Polycarbonate lenses by offering superior optics, scratch resistance and impact resistance in a lightweight, high-index package. Maui Evolution® enhances color with a patented lens treatment.

Available in four lens colors, Maui Jim® offers an option for every level of light. Neutral Grey lenses offer contrast and the highest available glare reduction and are suitable for all light conditions, especially bright, direct sunlight. Maui Rose® lenses offer the sharpest contrast and image resolution. They are excellent for fast action activities, overcast or foggy days. HCL® (High Contrast Lens) Bronze lenses offer enhanced contrast and are ideal for hazy and low light conditions. The new HT™ (High Transmission) lenses are perfect for variable and low light conditions, haze, fog, or overcast days and feature a flattering palm tint without a distracting yellow cast.

Protect your eyes from harmful glare today without blocking out any of the vibrant colors around you with a pair of Maui Jim® sunglasses!

Somebody left a pair of these at a summer party my parents had in the '90s. We could never figure out whose they were, so in the end I got to keep them (both my parents wear prescription sunglasses). At the time I was a kid and thought they were kind of ugly "old people" sunglasses. Now that I'm an adult I've rediscovered them and couldn't be more pleased. Considering how old they are, they are in great shape. Solid construction, study frames, good quality screws, the lenses have no scratches after 15 years or life. Even the rubber nose pads are still in good shape, though I should probably have them replaced. The style is great too - not something I would have appreciated when I was a kid, but a classic aviator style with a more elegant shape than the standard, square aviator. If they're still built like they used to be, these sunglasses should last you a long, long time.

I'd also recommend: American Optics, Ray-Ban, Knockaround

I am on my second pair of these glasses. A little on the heavy side for some (due to glass lenses), but I think it\'s worth the trade off.\r\n\r\nSturdy and comfortable frames.\r\n\r\nExcellent customer service from the company. My first pair was replaced at no charge due to some unusual damage on the lens coating that showed up several years after purchase.\r\n\r\nIn my experience you can\'t go wrong with Maui Jim.

This is my third pair in 3 years. Living in CA, I wear them daily. Great for cutting glare ocean/snow. I check/tighten the screws every week, to maintain proper fit.

My husband loves these glasses so much that we've replaced them now 2 times! (Once from being run over, once from being stolen.) They fit his face well and offer him great eye coverage after his Lasik surgery. Great investment.

Let me start with the positive: The lenses in these glasses are amazing! I own over a dozen pairs of Oakley and Costa Del Mar glasses and these Maui Jim's have the best all around lenses; they are dark like a black iridium Oakley lens yet stil intensify and brighten colors. Now the negative: They are heavy! They might be the same weight as my 580G Costa's, but they feel heavier... I feel more weight on my nose through the nose pads even after getting them adjusted perfecly. I wish they weren't so heavy because the lenses are the absolute best I've ever looked through. Keep in mind that this review is coming from someone who's go to everyday pair of sunglasses are plastic framed and polycarbonate lensed Oakleys.
