COLLEGIATE OPTIONS

Overview

Inspired By:

Kahuna, a highly trained expert in an ancient and distinctly Hawaiian craft. Canoe-making. Fishing. Healing. And yes, even surfing. A Maui Jim bestseller for more than 15 years, and a true classic that will stand the test of time.

Perfect for: Outdoor activities or a little beachside rejuvenation — lens treatments and frames are saltwater safe

Design: A bold, modified aviator wrap that offers generous coverage for protection against wind, blowing sand and debris

Shape: Refined rectangular frame complements a range of facial shapes

Care: Maui Jim case and cleaning cloth included

Lenses

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.

FRAME

Material: Monel metal, an extremely strong, corrosion-resistant alloy; with adjustable, metal-core cellulose acetate temple tips for flexibility

Bridge: A saddle-style, double-brow crossbar with non-slip, silicone nose pads for comfort

Simply awesome. They make the world look better
Review by: GJCS

Maui Jims and a couple other high end brands were recommended to me by my uncle, who is an optometrist. I picked up the Kahunas and liked them right away but when I stepped outside I was stunned at how amazing everything looked. These are the best sunglasses I have ever owned. I had them about 8 years or so and finally let them go back to the shop for some repairs. I had a couple cracked lenses and the arm was getting loose. None of these issues were MJ's fault. They are from 8 years of heavy use. MJ has a great repair policy and I sent my beloved glasses into them to finally give them the attention they deserved. I just got them back today and I was actually stunned to see they didn't bother to repair them, they simply gave me a brand new pair. WOW! is what I kept saying. I am still shocked that they did that. I know this would not be an everyday, every case occurrence but I was floored that MJ did that. An amazing pair of sunglasses backed by a company that sure has the customer service part nailed down.

Well Done Maui Jim...I am a customer for life and I have sent a number of folks your way by word of mouth.

I still can't believe they replaced them... :-)

The beginning of a great relationship
Review by: newMJowner

I just bought the Kahunas today. I am a devoted Oakley guy, but I felt like Harry Potter the minute these things touched my face.. Its like they picked me. I have never had a pair of sunglasses that felt so perfect. The Lenses look to be superior to my oakley polarized lenses and from the positive reviews I have no bad feelings going forward. I have a feeling that the 4 pairs of Oakleys are going to be gathering dust this summer...

Incredible coulour enhancement
Review by: Lecheeb

I bought my Kahuna last week and I can already say that my light green eyes have never been so relaxed in the sun. The colours are unique and sharp. I also wear them even while driving in the rain. I tried and bought several known brands, but never felt so comfortable. I plan to buy a second light weight one for longer drives. Thank you Maui Jim for my new life in the sun !

Maui Jim Kahuna
Review by: MrMojo

Bought this model when it was only available with glass, instead of the usual plastic, lenses.

It does a nice job in screening out the glare but smudges very easily and will fit someone with a medium to large size face. Due to its weight, it's not meant to be worn except for general purpose wear like walking around everywhere and driving.

Also, because of the glass lenses, it's HEAVY!! This is the ONLY pair of glass-lense sunglasses that I still own but use primarily as a backup pair due to the weight! I've switched over to the other plastic lense models! For an older model, which is still being produced but with plastic lenses now, it holds up well.

Lastly, like other Maui Jim sunglasses, expect to pay MUCH for the sunglasses!!

My eyes are sooo happy!
Review by: SkipOnGreenOne

Absolutely Love my new Maui's! Great Clarity! The world looks better than 3D! Everyone should have a pair, a new vision awaits!

I am a believer!!
Review by: HappyEyes

From the first time I put these glasses on I knew I was a Maui Jim fan for life. My eyes are very sensitive to light and I purchased these glasses with the grey lenses. For the first time, my eyes are completely relaxed, whether I am in bright sun, or high glare conditions. The coverage is excellent for any conditions, and the fit ensures they stay right where they should be, no matter what I am doing. I have tried many brands of sunglasses in the past, and I will buy only Maui Jim products in the future. They are the best.

too heavy
Review by: sjr165

I recently bought a pair of Kahuna sunglasses fitted with prescription lenses. I choose these because I have a pair MJ Sport and find them very light and confortable. Unfortunately I find the Kahuna quite heavy and uncomfortable. I hope I will get used to them or I will have wasted a lot of money.

Great sunglasses
Review by: Rexster314

I bought my Kahunas in 1998. They've been put through the wringer over the last 13 years and not a scratch on them so far. Another reviewer said they're heavy, and they are. But they are almost bullet proof. They have to be perfectly adjusted to your face and when you get that, they fit great and you don't notice how heavy they are.

10 Years of Great Shades!
Review by: mwnord

I've owned my Bronze Kahuna's for over 10 years and they have continued to give great performance day after day. They are great for casual use, dressy events and stable enough to wear for sports. They've been repaired once by Maui Jim and it was like getting a new pair back - perfect.
I own two other styles of Maui's - Kanaha and a pair that isn't made anymore. I'm about to buy some Shoreline's

RX information
Review by: GlassLVR

I really love the design of these glasses and the fact that the lenses are actually glass. It's a shame that you cannot order these with a prescription for glass. Only polycarbonate. Too bad. 5 stars if you could.
