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.

great glasses
Review by: Dermott -
I got my first pair in 2001 and would wear them all day, everyday doing everything ( working as a farmer/contractor ), but been through 4 pairs as frames kept breaking. Now waiting for similar model with better frames to come out. Have bought plastic frame pair in the mean time which are not as good, but were cheaper and lasting longer.

Superb Comfort-Stunning Optics
Review by: RedHook -
These shades fit me perfectly. They are so light that I sometimes forget I have them on. The hingeless temples grip just tightly enough to hold them in place without strain or pain. I've worn high-end sunglasses for 30 years, these are the best I've ever owned.

Feather Light Ka'anapali
Review by: MJLover -
I got this pair for driving in the harsh Texas sun and I wanted something that I did not feel was there at all. I got what I was looking for and then some! I have used it for much more then just driving.
This is my second pair of Maui Jims the first were the Makhas which I lost at the DFW airport and being in the sun was never the same. I'm not surprised that I'm happy with these too since the colors are so vibrant. Kudos to the folks at Maui Jims for making sunglass purchasing a no-brainer for me. Now if only I can figure out a way to keep the hingless frame from jumping out of my pockets when I'm indoors I won't be worrying about dropping them or scratching them up.(Posted on 11/28/12)

Snapped Cracked
Review by: Potato -
I've owned two pair of Maui 501s, by far the most comfortable sunglasses I've ever worn but they have flaws. My first pair snapped at the nose bridge so I paid the $80.00 and shipped them off to be repaired in Peoria IL. I was happy to get them back but some months later the lenses began to crack and all that was holding them together was the film covering the lense untill the bolt wears through the crack and you end up with two piece sunglasses. This is the fate of my second pair of 501s.

Great for anytime, anything...
Review by: SkipK -
I have had these glasses for 2 years now. They replaced a pair of Revo's that I had. All I can say is they are outstanding. They have been by far the most comfortable pair of sunglasses I have owned. I have used them for everything from riding my motorcycle to fishing and they have never let me down.
The only thing is now my wife wants a pair!(Posted on 11/28/12)

Great Sunglasses
Review by: SCBearcatFan -
I've had a pair of prescription Ka'anapali sunglasses for three years and still love them. I recently updated my prescription and decided to have new lens made for my old frames, in lieu of buying new frames. They are very light weight and do a superb of protecting the eye from exposure to unfiltered sunshine. The polarization is amazing too. The only problems that I've had are with the case (the outer leather cover is coming off) and the screws that hold lens to the fram require frequent tightening.
I've had multiple pair of Maui's, Serengetti's, Rayban's, etc. and will buy Maui's from now on.(Posted on 11/28/12)
