What makes Maui Jim Maui Jim.

Maui Jim began in 1980 on the beaches of Lahāinā, Maui, and grew into one of the most respected names in sun. The heart of every pair is PolarizedPlus2® — a patented lens that doesn’t just kill glare, it enhances color and contrast so the world looks the way Hawaii taught them it should.

Why we carry Maui Jim

The details that matter.

Every brand we carry earns its place. Here’s why Maui Jim is in our cases.

01.

PolarizedPlus2® lenses

Maui Jim’s patented lens technology eliminates glare, blocks 100% of UVA/UVB, and actively enhances color and contrast — far beyond ordinary polarized lenses.

02.

Born in Hawaii

Designed around the brilliance of island light, every pair is built to make bright, high-glare environments — water, snow, road — comfortable and vivid.

03.

Sun done seriously

Lightweight materials, true optical quality, and a fit our opticians dial in by hand. Sunglasses you forget you’re wearing until you take them off.
