Best Men's Maui Jim Sunglasses of 2020
The Best Men’s Maui Jim Sunglasses
If you're new to Maui Jim men’s sunglasses, there are a few things you should know. To begin, let's talk about lens technology. The first thing any Maui Jim wearer will tell you, is that the lens quality is second to none. If you've thought that Maui's were a little more expensive and wondered if Maui Jim men’s sunglasses were worth it, the answer from Maui wearers is going to be, absolutely.
PolarizedPlus2® Lens Tech
I could dive deep into the weeds on all the technology that goes into Maui Jim lenses, but I will go over the most important PolarizedPlus2 lens tech details for this blog. Maui Jim's polarized sunglasses offer extra protection and clarity, while NOT having issues with distortion or depth perception, which are common issues found in other polarized lenses. Additionally, PolarizedPlus2 lenses eliminate glare, increase contrast, and improve all facets of your optical experience so you can see the world more brilliantly.
Frame Materials
Men’s Maui Jim sunglasses use a wide range of materials for their sunglasses and you can count on each frame to be built with quality components. They go the extra mile to ensure that the frame design and construction meet the highest standards possible. This way, they always deliver quality that is second to none.
Maui Jim Ohai
To kick things off, let's start with a new rimless frame! When people think of Maui Jim, many will instantly think of classics such as the Maui Jim Ho'okipa. However, we're giving the Ho'okipa an honorable mention this year so we can mention a new favorite rimless frame. Below, we have the Maui Jim Ohai. This rimless frame offers something a little different than rimless frames like the Ho'okipa, Banyans, and Makaha. This frame is more suited to an active-lifestyle balance with its MauiFlex metal composition. For comfort, you get adjustable silicone nose pads, and rubber-wrapped temple tips. Though more tailored to an active lifestyle than a men's sports frame, the Ohai is well equipped for golfing, sailing, hiking, and wherever else you might take it. It has a leg up on the others when it comes to looking good, driving the coast, and relaxing.

Maui Jim Huelo
For our second frame on the list we have another pair of newer men’s Maui Jim sunglasses, the Huelo. This frame has made it into a bunch of our guides and round-ups since its release, so you might not be surprised to see it here. The frame design is very reminiscent of another top-selling men's Maui Jim, the Red Sands. The Huelo borrows its comfortable adjustable nose pads, frame size, and general shape. The only subtle differences are the design of the embedded temple pads, and the slightly shorter lens height. The Huelo is another solid addition to Maui's Red Sands style frames, and we love them!

You have all the standard water-specific perks with rubberized nose pads, triple-injected nylon frame, anti-corrosive pin hinges, and of course all the water-safe lens coatings.
