In the world of sunglasses, aviators represent a trend that never seems to fade away. Maui Jim understands that they are timeless and remain just as popular today as they were twenty years ago.
Maui Jim has re-invented the aviator, offering many different shapes and sizes to better meet the needs of every lifestyle and every face shape. In a nutshell, Maui Jim’s aviators represent hot trends rooted in the classics.
Each of the Maui Jim aviator styles is available with either Maui Evolution® or SuperThin (ST) Glass lens materials. Maui Evolution is a proprietary lens material, harnessing the best properties of SuperThin glass and Polycarbonate lenses. It offers superior optics, scratch resistance and impact resistance in a lightweight package. SuperThin Glass lenses are 20 percent thinner and lighter than conventional laminated glass lenses (1.8 vs. 2.2 mm). ST Glass provides superior optics, durability and scratch resistance without the weight.
All of the aviator models are equipped with Maui Jim’s patented PolarizedPlus®2 technology, which starts by vanquishing the glare. The lenses feature 3 rare earth elements, maximizing transmission of the colors your eyes see naturally. The multi-layered lens design allows more usable light to be transmitted to the eyes. The result is visual acuity, contrast and color that is unrivaled. In fact, Maui Jim’s patented PolarizedPlus2 technology continues to be the top choice of eye care professionals, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts.
In order to be sure that Maui Jim provides a solution for every level of light or sense of style, four lens colors are available.
