Choosing a Maui Jim frame
The Ho'okipa is our best-selling Maui Jim model over the past year. It is a medium oval frame in Grilamid, sold in both our men's and women's ranges, and there is a larger Ho'okipa XL 456 too. The Peahi is second, a large Grilamid rectangle that is also in both ranges, followed by the Southern Cross, a large nylon rectangle in our men's range.
Other large frames our customers choose include the Byron Bay, The Flats and Banyans rectangles, the World Cup wrap and the Alenuihaha wrapped rectangle. Frames are also grouped by use, such as Maui Jim fishing sunglasses and Maui Jim golf sunglasses.
Among frames that sit only in our women's Maui Jim range, the Starfish sells most, a medium cat-eye. The Ocean is another medium cat-eye, the Orchid is a medium butterfly, and the Honi is a small cat-eye.
Maui Jim lenses
Maui Jim says all of its sunglasses feature PolarizedPlus2, its patented lens technology, which eliminates 99.9% of glare, blocks 100% of harmful UV and enhances colour and contrast. Check the listed lens colour on each product. Neutral Grey is Maui Jim's base tint, which it rates best for bright, direct sunlight. Other lens colours in our range include HCL Bronze, Maui Rose and Blue Hawaii.
About Maui Jim
Maui Jim began in 1980, when a fisherman known as the original "Maui Jim" sold sunglasses on the beaches of Maui, Hawaii. The company went on to develop polarised sunglasses to protect eyes from glare, and moved its headquarters to Peoria, Illinois. It became part of Kering Eyewear in 2022.
Maui Jim sunglasses questions
Are all Maui Jim sunglasses polarised?
Yes. Maui Jim says all of its sunglasses are polarised with a high-efficiency polarising film that eliminates 99.9% of glare. That film is one part of its PolarizedPlus2 lens technology, which also blocks 100% of harmful UV. Every Maui Jim frame we list has polarised lenses, so the choice comes down to frame, fit and lens colour.
Which Maui Jim sunglasses are best for men?
There is no single best frame, but the models that sit only in our men's range and sell most are the Southern Cross, World Cup, Alenuihaha and One Way, all listed as large. The Peahi and Ho'okipa sit in both our men's and women's ranges. Our driving and fishing pages group frames by use.
Which Maui Jim frames are made for a smaller face?
Look at the frames listed in smaller sizes. The Honi cat-eye and the Hiehie round frame are both listed as small, and the Starfish and Ocean cat-eyes and the Ho'okipa oval are listed as medium. Most of our men's best sellers, such as the Peahi and Southern Cross, are listed as large.
Which Maui Jim lens colour should I choose?
Start with the light you are usually in. Maui Jim rates its Neutral Grey base tint best for bright, direct sunlight, with high light reduction and rich colour and contrast. HCL Bronze, Maui Rose and Blue Hawaii are other lens colours in our range, so check the listed lens colour on each product.
Are glass lenses better than plastic lenses?
It depends on what you need. Maui Jim says its SuperThin Glass gives its highest optical clarity and excellent scratch resistance, while Maui Brilliant and Maui Pure combine near-glass clarity with lighter weight and greater impact resistance. Maui Jim says all of these feature PolarizedPlus2 for glare reduction, enhanced colour and UV protection.
How can I tell if Maui Jim sunglasses are genuine?
Buy from an authorised retailer. Maui Jim itself says the way to be sure your sunglasses are genuine is to buy from its own website or an authorised Maui Jim retailer. BrightEyes is an authorised Maui Jim retailer, and every pair is sourced through official Australian supply channels and carries the full manufacturer warranty.
Do Maui Jim sunglasses come with an Australian warranty?
Yes. Maui Jim sunglasses bought from BrightEyes carry the manufacturer's warranty honoured in Australia, covering defects in materials and workmanship. Scratches and accidental damage are not covered. Keep your invoice, because it is your proof of purchase for any claim.
Where can I buy Maui Jim sunglasses in Australia?
Here online, and in BrightEyes stores across Queensland, New South Wales, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, though the Maui Jim range on the shelf varies by store. Use the store finder to see your closest stores, where staff will fit and adjust your frame for free. You can also try selected Maui Jim frames on your own face with our virtual try-on.
Can I get Maui Jim sunglasses with prescription lenses?
Maui Jim says prescription lenses must be dispensed through an eye care professional, and BrightEyes does not fit prescription lenses. For sun protection over the glasses you already wear, choose a fitover, which is worn over your frame, or a clip-on that attaches to it.
