Maui Jim Polarized Men's and Women's Sunglasses

The Origin of the Maui Jim Brand

In the 1980s, the small company Maui Jim began its operations by selling sunglasses on the Ka'anapali Beach in Lahaina, on the island of Maui, Hawaii.

In this archipelago, where the sun is particularly intense and UV rays are very harmful, the company developed a revolutionary glass technology: PolarizedPlus2. This technology protects the eyes from intense glare while revealing more of the stunning colors unique to the islands!

At its inception, the Classic collection had only 7 models. Today, over 125 models of sunglasses, all polarized and utilizing Maui's high technology, have emerged from the company's historic headquarters located in Lahaina on the island of Maui.

In 2022, Maui Jim joined Kering Eyewear, a part of the international Luxury group Kering. The brand still maintains its strong and distinct identity from its origin.

High-Technology Lenses

Maui Jim lenses are packed with technology! If you choose Maui Jim sunglasses, you can be sure that your eyes are perfectly protected!

You will find various technologies in Maui Jim lenses:

- Polarization (anti-glare), an exclusive, highly efficient polarized film that eliminates glare and allows the eyes to see better with less effort.

- Complete UV and HEV protection, blocking 100% of all harmful UV rays and reducing High Energy Visible (HEV) light, thus protecting your eye health.

- Front lens treatments that reduce the amount of light passing through the lens while offering an appealing aesthetic.

- Exclusive color enhancement technology that amplifies natural light instead of darkening it, providing exceptional color and clarity.

- Exclusive scratch-resistant Clearshell treatment, placed on both the front and back of the lens for enhanced performance and durability.

- Hydrophobic and oleophobic exclusive treatment that protects against water and repels grease for easy cleaning and maintenance of the lenses.

- Anti-reflective treatment on the inner surface that neutralizes reflected light and annoying glare from behind the lens. This treatment offers better clarity and reduces eye strain.

There are also different lens colors, and besides aesthetics, the functions vary!

Neutral Gray lenses are found in Gray Bi-Gradient Mirror and MauiGradient Gray models, as well as in Blue Hawaii, MauiGreen, Blue & Silver, and Silver & Black models, all of which have neutral gray base lenses. In the Maui Jim range, these lenses offer the highest light reduction, perfect for protecting your eyes from direct and intense sunlight.

Bronze HCL lenses offer excellent contrast for everyday use in varying light conditions. The lenses in question are Bronze Bi-Gradient Mirror, MauiGradient Bronze, as well as Hawaii Lava and Gold and Silver models, both with a Bronze HCL base.

Maui Rose lenses offer a subtle pink tint with the highest available contrast, ideal for high-motion sports. These lenses are found in Rose Bi-Gradient Mirror, MauiGradient Rose, and Maui Sunrise models.

Maui HT lenses offer the highest light transmission for incredible depth perception and are found in Green Bi-Gradient Mirror and MauiGradient Green models.

Reviews of Maui Jim sunglasses are very positive; they are premium quality sunglasses with patented lenses that perfectly protect the eyes from UV rays.

Maui Jim polarized sunglasses reduce horizontal glare. This increased comfort also ensures safety for drivers, avoiding glare at sunrise and sunset.

Maui Jim has also patented innovative lenses with bi-gradient mirrors to reduce excessive light from above and below, a system used by very few sunglasses brands.

Choosing Maui Jim sunglasses provides a very high level of eye protection while enjoying slightly oversaturated colors for better-than-reality vision!

Glare reduction, visual health, improved color rendering, scratch-resistant and hydro-oleophobic treated lenses: Maui Jim sunglasses are not just sunglasses; they are wonders of technology!
