About Maui Jim
In the early 1980s, a small company began selling sunglasses on the beautiful beaches of Maui, Hawaii. However, the sunglasses quickly proved to be no match for the Hawaiian sun's severe glare and harmful ultraviolet rays. As with many splendid business ideas, Maui Jim Sunglasses were born out of need. The need was for a sunglass that would eliminate the harsh Hawaiian glare without distorting the beautiful colors of the island scenery. Everyone said it was impossible — the elimination of glare and color clarity just did not go together.
After years of research and development, the impossible became a reality and Maui Jim PolarizedPlus® emerged. This original technology, which blocks glare from above, behind and below has now evolved into PolarizedPlus2® technology, which eliminates glare and boosts colors with a patented multi-layer design. The lenses feature 3 rare earth elements, which enhance the colors your eyes see naturally – so you see color like you’ve never seen it before.
