Maui Jim produces lenses in four different hues. They recommend neutral grey for the best light reduction and sharpest contrast, whilst also being the most convenient protection from bright, direct sunlight. Here’s what it looks like in practice:

Many Maui Jim models are fitted with their specialised grey lenses and available at SelectSpecs. Draw your attention to the Maui Cat III, for its universality and practicability.

HCL® BRONZE (High Contrast Lens) is probably best for everyday use and provides beautifully warm hues.

Maui Jim’s Maui Rose Lenses

MAUI ROSE® lenses are usually implemented in sports models, since they have proved to be best for fast moving activities. As the name suggest, they give a subtle rose-pinkish tint, but are also perfect if you like sharp contrasts.

Luckily, they can be found on fashion items too. Take a glimpse how the world looks through them:

Opt for MAUI JIM Lilikoi for the full pink frames and pink lenses experience! You can finally turn the world into vintage mode, just by putting your shades on.

Maui Jim Maui High Transmission Lenses

Last but not least, MAUI HT™ (High Transmission) does the opposite: it adds extra colour in dark circumstances.
