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.
ST (SuperThin) Glass: When clarity is the priority, go with the best optics available. Durable. Scratch resistant. 20% thinner and lighter than standard laminated glass lenses for long-wearing comfort, whether you’re driving or relying on them every day. Three rare earth elements ensure brilliance everywhere you look.

fantastic
Review by: Mike -
Durability Style Value Fit I always believed that you get what you pay for and every one of my friends said I was crazy for getting a pair of sunglasses so expensive until I let them try them on. I LOVE THESE GLASSES I wear them whenever I drive and even when its cloudy, I have had designer glasses before but nothing comes close to Maui Jim quality. I am now a loyal Maui Jim customer

Durability Style Value Fit This is the best pair of sunglasses on the market. Maui Jim makes other kinds sure, but this is the one to get.

Unmatched Quality and Service
Review by: Bob -
Style Value Fit Durability I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for so in 2001 I purchased my first pair of Maui Jim Kahunas in Gunmetal Gray. 12 years later I'm still wearing the same pair! I broke the hinge about 7 years ago, sent them back to MJ and they reinserted the lenses into a completely new frame and sent along an assessment of the lenses....for NOTHING (I think they charge now). It was at that point I chose never to purchase another brand of sunglasses - including for my wife who now wears the Atolls. I've since purchased a pair of Kahanas for myself and just today my wife surprised me with a pair Gloss Copper Kahunas!! I love Maui Jim!!

Fantastic!!!
Review by: Dan -
Durability Style Value Fit Got my Kahuna's, with Rx, yesterday. I'm totally sold on the quality. I will soon purchase a back-up pair, just in case. I do not want to be without these. I've used the cheap, clip-on's for years, and finally decided I would get the real thing.

The Best !
Review by: Woody -
Style Value Fit Durability Just received my 2nd pair of my Kahuna's in my Rx.
The 1st were still in excellent shape after 4 yrs but my prescription changed and I had to get a new pair. I didn't hesitate 1 minute in getting another pair of Kahuna's. My eyes are somewhat sensitive to glare and I spent a lot of time on the water. Simply stated: there is no comparision, Maui Jim is the best.(Posted on 5/4/13)

Timeless classic
Review by: MBH -
Value Fit Durability Style Something soothing happens to the world when these are slipped on that just defies explanation. I prefer the rose lenses which on occasion can be found in stock but the neutral grey is also very good and darkest of the three lens options (rose appears to be discontinued now) with bronze being the lightest tint and rose in the middle. I prefer the bronze lenses on the Peahi frames. Each lens color seems to have its own unique vibe, but the Kahuna really is a timeless aviator-ish style that looks good with jeans, swimsuit, or business suit. Would be nice if HT were also an option on these. Hope that MJ never stops making these frames. Here's a tip, buy more than one just in case.

My first 'Real' Shades
Review by: Bear -
Value Fit Durability Style I'm 36 and decided to step up from the grocery store shades and get a decent pair of sunglasses. I ended up buying the Kahuna and couldn't be happier. They aren't cheap, but well worth the price. And it may be my imagination, but my vision outdoors is greatly improved when wearing the glasses...everything is clearer, crisper. I highly recommend these shades.

You never forget the first pair
Review by: Phillip -
Value Fit Durability Style The Kahuna was my first pair of Maui Jim's as well as my second, after the first pair was stolen. Fit, styling, durability, the Kahuna has it all. I thought that I wanted the black frames but was glad I settled on the Gloss Copper. The glass lenses are durable but I have proven that they do break when dropped on the street. I decided to buy a back up pair because I refuse to be without the Maui Jim quality for even one day now. You simply can't go wrong buying a pair of Kahunas.
