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.

I have had these pair for 4 years. There is not another pair of glasses that can even come close to the quality and performance. Get to a store and try them on. You will be posting I agree with the poster above.

Kahuna 162 Best
Review by: DaygoRed -
I purchased my glasses in 1998 on vacation in Florida and still wear them every day. I wear them driving my car, boating and when I play golf. I would recommend these glasses to anyone and have talked 4 of my friends into buying them also.

Best Sun Glasses I have ever owned
Review by: acsacs -
Maui Jim kahunas are the best sun glasses I have ever owned, this is my second pair as after 10 years, I had decided an updated was needed.......They have the clearest lenses I could find. They stand up well to everyday beatings.....I would recommend to anyone looking for a good value for a GREAT pair of sun glasses.....

great glasses
Review by: automatic -
these are GREAT glasses, the only complaint i have is if you have large facial cheeks they might touch the lenses causing them to be smudged. otherwise they are amazing. Wearing maui jim glasses is like having god tint your eye ball. i purchased these glasses before setting off on a Caribbean cruise to replace my high end ray-bans. after my two week cruise my ray bans were had been repaired so i wore them again but to my surprise they were so cloudy in comparison to the maui jim's i had to sell them.

Kahuna 162's in Afghanistan
Review by: WattDoctor -
I bought my first pair of Kahunas 7 years ago. I needed prescription lenses in those days. I had Lasik eye surgery. So, I sent my Kahunas in to Maui Jim to have the nonprescription lens put in. I wore them every day working as a superintendent on roadway projects. When they were dirty, I would wash them off in the sink. After 7 years of abuse, the frames broke. I sent them in to MJ, and they replaced the frames for $75, and the lens for free because they were still under warranty. Here I am in Afghanistan, and there are 3 things that I don't leave my tent without; my flashlight, my knife, and my Kahunas. I'm a customer for life.
Best Regards,
The Watt Doctor

Great Glasses!
Review by: GaDawg -
I have owned many pair of Maui Jims, Costa Del Mar, and Oakleys. All 3 are great companies that make great glasses, but the Kahunas have made me a "strictly Maui Jim guy" from now on. These are the clearest and coolest glasses I've ever owned. A big selling point for me is that they rarely, if ever, fog up like other high end sunglasses. These are well worth the money!

Great but to heavy
Review by: gablo -
Bought these sunglasses a couple of days ago, they look great and provide a great vision. The only problem is that they are too heavy and I can not wear them for long period. The problem could be that I also bought a pair of lighthouse that are so light. Any how I will return the glasses and buy a different pair of Maui Jim, probably the Honolulu
