Maui Jim sunglasses: a premium choice
Maui Jim has become a global reference for outdoor sunglasses. The visuals seen through Maui Jim lenses are known for their intensity and clarity, a hallmark of the brand. Each model is designed for a specific use, from sport to city, including mountain sunglasses.
Maui Jim lens technology
Polarised lenses for maximum protection
The PolarizedPlus 2 technology is the brand's signature. It combines several layers of treatment to provide complete protection:
- Polarising filter: eliminates glare caused by light reflecting off water, snow, or roads
- 100% UV protection: lenses block harmful UVA, UVB, and UVC rays
- High-energy blue light (HEV) filtration: naturally occurring light that can cause eye fatigue over time
- Hydrophobic and oleophobic coating: reduces water and fingerprint marks on the lenses
Enhanced colours and visual comfort
PolarizedPlus 2 lenses boost contrast and colour intensity without distortion. Greens appear richer, blues deeper, and details stand out more in the shade. This is a real advantage for adult hiking sunglasses or running sunglasses, where reading the terrain is as important as sun protection.
