Amazon.com Product Description
Made with pure quality and all of the technical advancements you want in a pair of sunglasses, the Kanaha from Maui Jim is just what you've been waiting for. Lightweight, but durable, they have comfortable rubber nose pads, a sturdy grilamid frame, and saltwater effectiveness. The polycarbonate lenses are polarized and UV protected and are also completely Rx-able. It really doesn't get much better than that.
Product ReviewsI am fairly sensitive personally to sunlight, and always like to have a quality pair of sunglasses when I am driving or outdoors in general. Road glare is especially a bother for me. I have a slight astigmatism for which I wear prescription glasses at night, but I don't need them during the day if my sunglasses are high enough quality.
Previous I had worn a pair of Revo's that looked similar to the Maui Jim Banyans. When I lost them in the surf (a big wave knocked me down and took them off), I decided to look at all brands (Oakley, Revo, Rayban, Maui Jim) and pick the best one.
I had two complaints on my Revo's. First, I really wanted bigger lenses to prevent any glare from reach my eye, but the Revo's looked way too big (similar to the Maui Jim Banyans). Second, I could often see the reflection of my own eye in the glasses depending on the light (which was annoying).
A friend advised me to look at the Maui Jim sunglasses, telling me the lense quality was the best and the price was reasonable. I went to try them out in a local store and finally bought the Kanaha glasses.
The optical quality through all of the Maui Jim glasses is absolutely phenomenal. I tried the brown lenses and found they really did greatly enhance visual depth and clarity, but ultimately chose the dark gray because I like the mirrored finish, true color, and additional light blocking that comes from the gray lenses. I had no problem with my in-car GPS or any other screens with the polarization direction of the lenses, and I found visual clarity through my front windshield tremendously improved (it cut the reflection of the windshield itself due to the polarizing filter).
I also noticed that I have never seen the reflection of my own eye in the glasses, an indication of the presence of an anti-reflective coating that I do not believe was present on my old Revo's.
The ultimate test of sunglasses is perhaps forgetting you are wearing them until you go inside, which is precisely what happened on the first day I was wearing these glasses. I noticed that the top and bottom of each lense is mirrored, but not the middle. I am told that this is to reduce glare while maintaining clear vision. It obviously works quite well because I am now always forgetting I am wearing the sunglasses.
As for style, these are about as big as you can get without looking bug-eyed. They have a nice side-extension around the corners of my eyes to protect them without making the lense huge.
Overall I am extremely happy with the lense, style, and fit of my Maui Jim's and I look forward to many more years of wear. Highly recommended, especially in the Kanaha style with gray lenses.
