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.

The Best
Review by: Buck -
This is the second pair of Kahuna 162 that I have owned.
I lost my first pair while golfing last summer so I asked my spouse to purchase the same glasses for Christmas,
They are the best sunglasses that have ever had for they are great in bright sun. Very confortable to wear the clarity is the best.(Posted on 11/28/12)

What Sunglasses SHOULD Be!
Review by: BigFella -
Ever had one of those moments when you try a product for the first time and think to yourself, "Ohhh...so THIS is what all those other brands are trying to imitate!" That's exactly the moment I experienced when I tried on these glasses!
I purchased these frames with prescription lenses and from the second they were on my face, I knew no other sunglasses would ever be satisfactory again. The fit, the weight, the styling, the COMFORT -- I was angry that I'd ever worn cheaper, inferior glasses in the past. I'm a Maui Jim client for life!(Posted on 11/28/12)

Kahuna
Review by: AlexSNY -
Excellent sunglasses. The best lenses I ever seen. When you put them on you get a feel that everything is enhanced, the colors are beautiful and everything is very clear. I had them only for two days, so can not comment on long term wear and tear. However so far I have been very satisfied with my purchase.

Best Sunglasses for big guys, Period!
Review by: Raul -
I always had a hard time finding the right pair of sunglasses because my head is just too wide for Ray-ban or others. I've owned my Kahunas for 8 years and they've never let me down. I've used them for all outdoor activities (hiking, driving even white water rafting!) and they were awesome.
I'm yet to find any other glasses that will make me put down my Kahunas.(Posted on 11/28/12)

finest sun glasses
Review by: slo71 -
I own two pair of the kahuna 162 gun metal grey sunglasses. I also have a pair of the flex frame maui jims with the plastic lens. I love them all but prefer the kahunas and their glass lens. the service department is quick and reliable as well.

3rd pair and nothing compares.
Review by: Sundevil -
This is my 3rd pair of the Kahuna 162's and I havent found anything that compares to the comfort, light weight, balance, protection and overall look. I lost my first pair of three years, had my second pair for four years and just purchased my third pair. I live in AZ, the sun is very bright here but the Kahuna's break that down to live in comfort. Nothing compares to the construction and protection of the Kahuna 162.

I used to DISLIKE sunglasses with a PASSION until!
Review by: worshipleader -
That is right! They are bulky, heavy, didn't fit on my face right. They discolored the surroundings and quite frankly they didn't work very well. Until a sun glass person recommended the Maui Jim "Kahuna" Of course the idea of paying a premium price for something I don't like was not what I wanted to do but I was reassured I could bring them back. I have been wearing them now for about 5 years and they continue to be perfect. Light, great fit and they WORK. You gotta own these.

Best Sun Glasses I have ever owned.
Review by: Burt -
I was walking through the Mall one day, and passed a Sun Glass Hut, I noticed a guy trying on a pair of really great looking sun glasses on. I waited until he made his purchase and left and approached the sales clerk.
It took all of about 5 minutes to determine that this was the pair of glasses I had been looking for for a long time. I purchased them over 7 years ago and they still look stylish and great. The comfort and clarity are second to no others. I would never consider purchasing anything other than Maui Jim eyeware. Their service department is the best in the market for customer service and attention to your needs. Thank You to Maui Jim for my Kahunas.(Posted on 11/28/12)

Great sunglasses
Review by: PIC1023 -
Bought a pair of these glasses 13 years ago. One of the best pair of glasses I ever had. Recently lost the glasses and ordered another pair of the same glasses right away. Can't live without these glasses....
