COLLEGIATE OPTIONS

Overview

Inspired By:

Kanaha, meaning gathering site, is one of the premier windsurfing and kiteboarding beaches on the planet. Secluded, far from Maui’s cruise ships and begging for adventure, this sporty style will take you from the beach to dinner.

Perfect for: Intense sports or a leisurely day by the surf — lens treatments and frames are saltwater safe

Design: A contemporary frame with masculine lines, rimless for an unobstructed view and featuring additional lens coverage on the sides

Shape: Refined rectangular frame complements larger facial features

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.

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.

Frame/Fit

No glare, no reflection, no distortion.
Review by: OldGazer

First off, I live at the beach... Bright sun from above and brighter sun from the water, and reflections from everything/everywhere! I have never owned a pair of glasses that knocked down the glare like these glasses. I have never owned a pair of glasses that gave you a crystal clear view in this type of environment. The view is very balanced - as the name implies the "neutral gray" gives you a very nuetral/balanced view of the world around you. Not too bright, not too dark, just a very balanced range of color and clarity. Then, I took them with me when I went skiing... same thing: no glare, no reflection, no distortion. I also coach a soccer team. I wear these glasses on the field and I have lost track of the number of times I have been hit square in the face with a soccer ball while wearing these glasses. The glasses went in one direction, the nose went in the other, but every time I picked these glasses up and put them back on in one piece. I don't have a single scratch or chip in these lenses and the frame still fits as comfortably as the day I bought them. I highly recommend these glasses to anyone who is active in a bright, glare filled environment and doesn't have the time to worry about equipment failures.

Best Sunglasses for Motorcycle
Review by: Bren79

So I do ride a sports bike and these by far are the absolutely best sunglasses I've worn when riding, along with other activities. While on the road with these glasses they do not budge, or slip or bounce around no matter how hot it may be outside or the road condition. Other pairs I have had by other vendors have done the constantly sliding down my nose while riding making a bit difficult to wear and annoying when that happens. Love these frames and highly recommend them to any outdoor enthusiast, motorcyclist or anyone in general.

kanaha 409-02
Review by: deljr55

I would buy these glasses again. The lenses are great at blocking the sun and very comfortable.
The durablility could be better, but the quality of eye protection and comfort is great. They do a great job of blocking any peripheral glare.
I am on my second set of lenses as they are not very scratch resistant and the lenses have cracked at the bridge on both sets of lenses.
The free replacement rubber pieces for the nose pieces and the ear pieces is a bonus. Although, NO dealers are allowed to stock them so you MUST contact Maui Jim to get them. Not very convenient.

Should have bought years ago
Review by: Smokediver

These are the best pair of glasses I have ever owned. No glair, everything looks crisp, and no headache from wearing them all day like some other glasses. I went back and bought my wife a pair also.

Great for runners!
Review by: EMAD

I have had a pair of 405's for many years and am very loyal with Maui Jim's. After they broke (they are getting fixed) I thought I'd try a new pair. I purchased 409's (Kanaha) and could not be happier! They are AWESOME. I have a fairly thin elongated face, thus making these an even better fit than the 405's. They cover my eyes (sides included) and sit great on my nose. These glasses do NOT bounce at all when running 5+ miles or hiking 10+ miles. They are also great for driving and outside reading. FIVE STARS!!

She finally bought a pair
Review by: DannyT

I have been trying to get my wife to spend more than ten dollars on a pair of sunglasses for years. I have suggested Maui Jims several times to her. She tried on my cousin's pair while at the beach and was amazed at the comfort, clarity and light weight, not to mention she looks HOT in them. She finally broke down and asked "Where can I get a pair of these?" She bought a pair the next morning and hasn't taken them off since!

I love them!!
Review by: demon177

Being a Cop I'm on the road all the time, and with the glair of the sun all the my face all the time it can be a little blinding, but with these, I don't really have that issue. They are very light and confort my face nicely. I love them!!

what amazing sunglasses!!
Review by: joacquinoa

I have four pairs of maui jim including two titanium pairs but my 'go to' glasses are alway the kanahas. I have replaced the lenses in both of my pairs of bronze and grey (due to extreme wearing over many years) and i love them dearly. They are so light that i wear them all day without noticing. Hard wearing and stylish, I find them unbeatable all round glasses.. 5 star . All the way..
