Neutral Grey: Perfect for especially bright, direct sunlight. Offers rich color and contrast along with the highest available light production, unlike ordinary grey lenses that flatten light evenly across the spectrum.
HCL® Bronze: For everyday variable conditions, from full sun to overcast. Provides excellent contrast. Great if you love a warm, subtle bronze tint.
PolarizedPlus®2: In every pair of Maui Jims you’ll find our patented, color-infused lens technology that wipes out 99.9% of glare, 100% of harmful UV and boosts color via specially designed lens treatments. So your view is clearer, with crisper contrast and amazing brilliance.
Polycarbonate: When durability and protection against shattering are the priority, choose a lens that stands up to your most intense activities. Scratch- and impact-resistant. Injection molded for crisp optics. With patented lens treatments that infuse your view with vivid color. Your lightest choice for long days in the sun.
CLEARSHELL® Scratch Coating: A proprietary, silicone-based hard coat that protects your lenses. Glass is naturally scratch-resistant but Maui Evolution and polycarbonate lenses perform better longer with the added durability of our optically correct Clearshell. Applied to front and back of the lens.

Best Sunglasses ever Purchased
Review by: horsey -
These are ultra lightweight, excellent protection, and extremely comfortable, I love 'em. For someone who wears sunglasses from dawn to dusk, you can wear these with ease for hours because they are so light, excellent product. I was told they were a new style when I purchased them summer 09, however I see in another review that they are at least six years old? Regardless, an excellent product.

Comfortable
Review by: Laker -
Great Glasses.
I have had them for several years.
The only issue I have is that almost every year I have to replace the lenses as they crack at the screw. Gone through 3 or 4 sets now.
but I am still replacing them. Cheaper than new ones!(Posted on 11/28/12)

Best Pair of Sunglasses Ever
Review by: David -
This particular pair of sunglasses is, without doubt, the best pair of sunglasses I have ever owned or worn. They fit my face perfectly and are so light that I can't even tell I have them on.
The only problem I've ever had with them is that they have a pesky habit of breaking right in the nose. That being said, I must also compliment Maui Jim's repair service. They have an excellent turn around and the pair seemed just like new when i got them back.(Posted on 11/28/12)

prescription sun glasses
Review by: Labo -
I purchased a pair of Maui Jim's about 3 years ago and my doctor sent them to you with my prescription. So far, bad luck. They, though no fault of my own, have broken twice! I was in Europe recently, put them on, and they snapped. Can't imagine why with general use this would happen to me. Hard for me to recommend them.

Great for Golf/Beach
Review by: Parfour -
Excellent pair of sunglasses with one exception. The right lens keeps cracking at the screw. This has happened three times in the five years I have owned them but to Maui Jim's credit, I keep sending them back for repair and they keep fixing them and sending them back to me! Great pair I wear whenever I play golf due to the lightweight frames. Love these sunglasses and the company's return policy!

Ka'anapali 501's
Review by: Sriley -
I always struggled growing up trying to find a pair that would fit my face (one ear is lower than the other so my sunglasses were always crooked) and fit comfortably. I purchased my pair of Ka'anapali 501's about 8 years ago and I can honestly say they are one of the most favorite things I have ever purchased. Lightweight and comfortable , amazing clarity and visuals, etc.
8 years and they are solid as the day I bought them. Even last year, my wife dropped them and the lens got scratched - I was devastated. She sent them in for repairs and for $50 they replaced both lens, checked the rest of the frames and sent me back my repaired pair even with a new case. I am a Maui Jim customer for life!(Posted on 11/28/12)
