The story behind the frame
Maui Jim began in Hawaii in 1980, selling sunglasses on the beach in Lahaina. The brand built its reputation on polarized lenses that can handle the intense light and reflected glare of the islands.
The Ho'okipa, named after a famous windsurfing beach on Maui, is one of the brand's most popular sport styles. Its rimless design keeps it light, and PolarizedPlus2 lenses add color enhancement to glare reduction. Compare brands in Maui Jim vs Costa.
