Metal aviator sunglasses are this summer’s best fashion statement. However, Maui Jim has significantly improved the performance of this classic frame through the use of a proprietary memory metal–MauiFlex–that bends and twists, and remembers its original shape longer than traditional metal frames. Helping you cruise through the season in style, two new MauiFlex sun-glasses are making their debut in stores–Maliko Gulch and Kahului Harbor.

Maliko Gulch (see above) is Maui’s hot spot for downwind paddling; and our sunglasses by the same name are designed to offer the perfect balance of performance and style. Part of the MauiFlex Collection, this double-bridged aviator with rubber temples comes in Gunmetal with Neutral Grey lenses for bright sunny days or Metallic Gloss Copper with HCL Bronze lenses to improve vision in variable light conditions. This style with a modified rectangular frame has an adjustable rubber nose bridge and anti-corrosive traditional hinges. Kahului Harbor has angular rectangular lenses that fit medium or larger faces and has an eye size of 65 mm, bridge size of 18 mm, temple length of 120 mm, and an 8-base curvature that fits snugly around the face.

Named after the port where cruise ships dock and Hawaiian fun begins, Kahului Harbor is designed to withstand long days in the sun. Also a double-bridged aviator with rubber temples, Kahului Harbor is available in Gunmetal with Neutral Grey lenses for bright sunny days or Metallic Gloss Copper with HCL Bronze lenses. This style has an adjustable rubber nosebridge and anti-corrosive traditional hinges. Slightly larger than Maliko Gulch, Kahului Harbor has a soft rectangular lens and an eye size of 68 mm, bridge size of 18 mm, temple length of 120 mm, and an eight-base curvature.

Both styles feature Maui Evolution lenses that are light and durable. They are designed for everyday activities when precise optics are important. The lens is impact- and scratch-resistant and available in prescription.
All of Maui Jim’s high-tech lenses feature nine layers of patented, color-boosting PolarizedPlus2 lens technology to block 100 percent of UV rays and 99.9 percent of glare. Maui Jim is the only company that uses three rare earth elements to significantly boost color, enhance depth perception and definition. On both styles, the lenses have waterproof and oleophobic coatings to shed water and repel smudges.
