Spring sunshine and Maui Jim style
As the sun makes its long-awaited return, it’s hard to resist the lure of the outdoors – from leisurely strolls to park dates to dining al fresco. The brighter days are a welcome change, and with them comes the perfect excuse to rock some quality eyewear to enjoy the outdoors safely and comfortably.
Look no further – Maui Jim sunglasses expertly blend style and pioneering lens technology. With advanced optics and unparalleled UV defence, these sunglasses provide both an elegant look and superior functionality, making them the ultimate accessory for any spring adventure.
The origins of the brand
Maui Jim’s story began in the early 1980s on the sun-drenched beaches of Maui, Hawaii. The brand was born out of a need to address the intense glare from the ocean and UV rays, which left eyes strained and fatigued.
Initially, the company focused on creating eyewear to protect the eyes of beachgoers and water enthusiasts. The aim was to provide wearers with clarity to enjoy the island’s vibrant landscape without compromising on style or function. It wasn’t long before people further afield started eyeing up the pioneering shades.
A commitment to protecting the eyes from the damaging effects of UV radiation remains at the heart of Maui Jim’s ethos, making it a brand synonymous with luxury and eye care.
Over the years, the brand has grown into an internationally recognised name, known for its premium sunglasses that combine cutting-edge technology with timeless sophistication. Dedication to both innovation and exceptional craftsmanship has made it a trusted choice for outdoor enthusiasts, fashion-forward individuals, and anyone seeking a functional yet stylish way to shield their eyes from the elements.
Exceptional lens technology
The real game-changer for Maui Jim sunglasses came with the launch of the brand’s unique, patented PolarizedPlus2® lens technology. The revolutionary lenses are engineered to eliminate glare, whether from the sun’s reflection off water, sand or roads, while simultaneously enhancing colours, contrast, and clarity. The result is a richer visual experience, where every detail pops with precision and depth, transforming the way you see the world.
PolarizedPlus2® lenses go beyond standard polarisation by incorporating advanced filters that block 100% of UV rays. The added layer of protection not only shields your eyes from the sun’s rays but reduces eye strain, ensuring maximum comfort throughout the day. Wherever you are, these lenses allow for crisp vision that minimises discomfort caused by glare.
A colour for every situation
The women’s and men’s polarised sunglasses offer a range of lens colours designed to perform in varying light conditions. For example, neutral grey lenses provide excellent protection against bright, direct sunlight. The versatile HCL bronze lenses, meanwhile, are ideal for changing light and enhancing contrast in both bright and low-light environments. Each lens colour is thoughtfully selected to optimise vision for specific outdoor activities, from sports to everyday wear.
Additional features
In addition to the patented polarisation technology, Maui Jim lenses feature anti-reflective coatings on the back surface of the lens, further reducing any glare caused by light reflecting from behind.
Scratch-resistant coatings guarantee these high-performance lenses remain durable, maintaining their clarity and protection even with daily wear. By combining style, functionality, and durability, Maui Jim sunglasses provide an unparalleled experience and long-lasting eye protection for the fashion-conscious and health-focused alike.
A style for every occasion
The sunglasses effortlessly blend fashion-forward design with everyday functionality, with a wide range of styles as versatile as they are stylish. Be it a sleek and sporty number for a weekend adventure or a touch of refinement for a spring soiree, Maui Jim has a frame for every occasion. The brand’s collection includes frames crafted from lightweight, durable materials perfect for active pursuits, as well as high-end, luxurious options to elevate your outfit.
Each pair is meticulously crafted to perfectly balance both style and performance, ensuring they not only amplify your outfit but support your lifestyle. The variety of frame shapes – from bold, contemporary lines to classic silhouettes – guarantees Maui Jim sunglasses seamlessly complement any look.
