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.

Framed to Fit...
Review by: STD Philly69 -
Style Value Fit Durability Being a Maui Jim Customer before...wanted the Kahuna Frames as next Sunglass Frame with Rx . This frame was available, however not in black. I got the bronze/brown frames with dark grey lenses. So far after 3 years...never a problem. They stay on my face, they don't rust off on the face, easy to clean, and are wide enough for a big head. These frames match any style. They are great for driving and walking day or night. Know that I also bought a pair of Ray Ban Rx Sunglasses. The Maui Jim Lenses are way better for UV and glare protection. If you care enough for your eyes and make a statement...Maui Jims are the Best. Always remember, Frames are in different styles since people's heads come in different styles with different lifestyles. Before purchasing frames...get an expert opinion in terms of weight of lenses and accurate dimensions of face and eye width. It does make all the difference with longevity of eye wear. Maui Jim is my style. Worth the price.

Awesome!
Review by: TX Aggie '99 -
Style Value Fit Durability Best pair of sun glasses I have ever owned! Amazing fit and clarity! Extremely comfortable!
If dropped, they break easily, but Maui Jim fixes them quickly and has an amazing warranty! After replacing the lenses several times I finally put mine on "Cablz" and have not dropped or broken them since.(Posted on 4/15/13)

Break easily

Best I've Ever Had
Review by: Lovey -
I've had many other sunglasses and was not totally satisfied until I purchased the Maui Jim Kapena in gunmetal black/neutral grey. The fit and feel are so comfortable that I do not realize I have them on. The lenses give a wonderful clarity and soothing feel to your eyes when looked out of. Maui Jim is simply the best I've ever had.

Kapena came out on top!
Review by: Poguebilt -
My wife and I went to our local eye glass store and must have tried on close to 30 pairs of glasses not looking at price or name to start with and we ended up with one solid choice that fit perfect and looked like we wanted. Then the big one was all the impressive stats and how they compared to the other "high end" brands.... after listening and reading some online reviews I had to order them asap. From driving, to boating, to winter trekking these will serve me well for many years!

Best Sunglasses Ever Owned
Review by: Veritas -
I have owned other brands, Oakley, Ray-ban, etc. This is the best pair of sunglasses I have ever owned. They do not distort your vision at all like the polarized Oakleys I had did.
