Are Maui Jim Aviators Worth It?
If you’re new to Maui Jim, you may be wondering if their sunglasses are worth the price. Any customer that’s tried a pair of Maui Jims is sure to think so. In fact, the typical Maui Jim customer owns about four pairs of Mauis. When it comes to quality, all materials used in Maui Jim products are top of the line. To dig a little deeper, let’s go over frame and lens materials.
Frame Materials
Though aviator style evolves over time, their durability and versatility are always beneficial factors. Originally made for fighter pilots, they are built to last. The following Maui Jim aviators are made of monel metal, pure titanium, or lightweight injected nylon. And, depending on the model, you may find rubber on the nose bridge for reinforced stability.
Lens Materials
Now, the bread and butter. Whoever says you can’t have your cake and eat it too, has obviously never owned a pair of Maui Jims. Not only are the frame materials top-notch, their lens technology is second-to-none, the best on the market. Their patented PolarizedPlus2 lens tech blocks 99.9% of the glare reflecting off surfaces such as the ocean, windshields, or bumpers, while blocking harmful UV rays and HEV blue light. Unlike other polarized lenses on the market, they don’t make digital device screens impossible to see. They boost color and contrast so well that when you first put them on, it may take a moment for your eyes to adjust. Once settled, you’ll experience a noticeably visually-enhanced world around you.
