COLLEGIATE OPTIONS

Overview

Inspired By:

The pristine sands of Maui’s Kapalua Beach. Sheltered by a natural lava cove, its shimmering bay offers clear views of butterfly fish, parrotfish and humuhumunukunukuapua’a (the state fish). An MJ classic.

Perfect for: Fast action or everyday wear — lens treatments and frames are saltwater safe

Design: A mid-sized, sporty sunglass crafted of titanium alloy for incredible lightness and rimless for unobstructed views

Shape: Softer, rectangular frame that hugs the head and 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

Maui Rose®: For everyday variable conditions, from full sun to overcast. The highest contrast available – excellent for fast moving sports. Provides a subtle rose 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

FRAME

Material: Beta-titanium alloy contains extremely lightweight titanium, aluminum and vanadium for maximum strength and flexibility; flexible temples will not kink or break, allowing for easy adjustment

Finishing Treatment: Smooth metal for a sleek look

Hinge: Hingeless frame with flexible wire temples hugs the head for superior fit and comfort

Bridge: Saddle-style with adjustable, non-slip silicone nose pads for comfort

Best Sundglasses on Earth
Review by: Bill718

I've been wearing Maui Jim's since my first trip to Hawaii in 1999. I now own 4 different styples but mostly I LIVE in my KAAAPALI Gunmetals! I sell ocean front homes on the most exclusive beach in the North East US....and I've probably sold alot of Maui Jim's as well!!!

Higher expectations
Review by: jar546

For the price, when you baby the glasses, they should last longer than 3 years before they break in half from regular, routine use. The Titanium 502 model must always stretch to fit around a normal head. This constant flexing of the metal weakens it and eventually breaks.

The lenses are fantastic, the frame which holds it all together is not.

I would like to see a more durable frame in the same lightweight setup.

The rating of Fair takes into consideration the price which raises the expectation of any product.

Love Love Love 'em!
Review by: geopam

On the advice of my awesome optician, I bought a pair of these Maui Jims. They are so light and I love the fact that they can't get messed up like traditional sunglasses. They look so good on and they are very comfortable to wear. This is the most I have ever spent on a pair of sunglasses, but they were soooo worth the price. I highly recommend these if you are looking for a great looking pair and you are willing to spend the money to get that premium pair.

wear them everywhere!
Review by: boatlady

I love these glasses but beware once you go with these lightweight glasses all other glasses will feel clunky and heavy! Even in Seattle I wear these all the time...Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.

best job ever
Review by: powerboater

At first I couldn't see good and had distance and reading proscription and wasn't happy. They found the problem and did them over with just the distance with a new digital machine and they came out perfect. I am very happy with my investment. prescription will cost twic the cost of glasses but well worht it whne you have to drive 10 hours with the sun shining on your eyes. No glare and no tearing of eyes from squinting for 10 hours with good perrifferial vision. Thank you Maui Jim for solving my problem!

Review by: DestinationAnywhere

I love them!
Review by: MauiJimNut

I have bad sinus problems. I cannot stand pressure on my nose. These glasses are without a doubt the best I have ever owned. They are super light and do not push on my temples. I bought them eight years ago and they are the one thing that I never let out of my sight. They are great for cutting out the sun glare. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I am kind of rough on them and have had the lenses replaced 3 times. Each time I couldn't stand not wearing them and they came back from MJ repair facility pronto and just like new.

Service after the Sale
Review by: MauiKen

What you can never guage when deciding to purchase a product is whether all the hoopla attached to their "service after the sale" is fact or hot air. I own 3 pair of Maui Jims and have broken 2 of them TWICE (my fault). Each time they repair them quickly and professionally and return them promptly. I just received my last pair with a LESS THAN 2 week turnaround (I was stressing an upcoming cruise without my favorite Maui's). I have owned these glasses for years and the repair is flawless!! Incidentally, for whatever reason (I'm thinking they verified I'm a multiple owner) I was NOT charged for the repair!! THANK YOU Maui Jim, you ROCK!!

My Maui Jim's
Review by: NickAMartin

I was first introduced to these sunglasses on the Island of Maui when on a vacation with my family and friends in 2001. From that point on, these are the only glasses that I will spend my money on as they are truly worth every penny. I am very active in my day to day life and my Maui Jim's are light weight, comfortable and enhance the colors around me like no other pair or brand I have ever tried on. Thank you Maui Jim!!!

Perfect shades
Review by: wadewilson

I bought these glasses about 3 years ago. In addition to these glasses, I had a pair of Costa del Mars, 2 pairs of Oakleys, and a pair of Ray Bans. 2 weeks ago, my truck was broken into, and all the glasses were stolen except for the most expensive pair, the Maui Jims. I think the great thing about this brand is that it's not as well known, but by no means does that mean they are inferior. The Mauis have always been my favorite glasses, and I truly would have been heartbroken if they were stolen. They're much more comfortable than my Costas and cut the glare much better, and honestly, Oakleys don't stand up to either Costas or Mauis. I do plan to buy another pair of sunglasses for more active wear, but I won't seriously consider anything other than Maui Jim.
