Maui Jim Makaha Sunglasses

The Maui Jim Makaha sunglasses range are polarised perfection, the sleek design has proven hugely popular and fits a wide range of face shapes and sizes, including larger heads. The model sits in the Maui Jim rimless nylon collection and was inspired by the legend of Mahana, a good looking young chief who was blessed by the goddess of rain, Ke Anuene, by giving his valley double rainbows.

All of these lenses are packed full of Maui tech, they are lightweight, strong and will set a benchmark for all future sunglasses that you wear. The frame is made of nylon which is super strong and has excellent shaping properties so if you bend the frame they will return to their original shape, a really strong material.

The Maui Jim Makaha polarised sunglasses are excellent for an active lifestyle, perfect for those who are looking for an all-rounder that look as good on the tennis court as they do when your driving to work in your best outfit.

15.05.2012 QUALITY SUNGLASSES WITH THE ADDED TWIST OF A MAGNIFICATION LOCATED IN THE LENS, FEATURED PRODUCT MAUI JIM MAKAHA

There are many options for anyone who has perfect distance vision but requires as a slight magnification for reading. Typically people will buy a quality pair of sunglasses and a pair of cheap readers and swap between each when needing to read a menu or a paper. The main problem with this is that your eyes are being exposed to different light conditions with and without UV protection which ultimately causes headaches from eye strain because you are constantly squint. Swapping might not seem too troublesome but why carry two pairs, have the added expense and cause yourself and your eyes discomfort when there are sunglasses, such as the Maui Jim Makaha, that have a magnification built into the lens.

Supplied in a range of frame colours and lens tints, the Makaha range has a range of magnifications starting with plus 1.5 magnification, a plus 2 magnification and 2.5 magnification. The benefit of having quality polarised eyewear that feature an anti scratch coating, are salt water protected and have an anti reflective inside coating combined with a magnification is actually huge when driving, travelling or relaxing outside by the pool. To start the magnification is very difficult to see by when looking at someone who is wearing the sunglasses; this means onlookers have no idea that you require readers.

Driving with a Maui Reader is excellent as your distance vision remains perfect and unaffected, the rimless lens means you have excellent peripheral vision with no frame to obstruct a great view. Because there is no frame the magnification is easily ignored until you require the benefit of a magnification where you simply look down and view with an aid. The same applies when sitting by the pool or on a beach, you have the benefit of a magnification without having to hope you brought your readers meaning brief reading of a menu or flyer remains easy and timeless, no bag searching to find your vision aid.

The Makaha sunglasses model features a slightly smaller sized lens (top to bottom) than the Maui Ho?okipa which also has a reader option in the range. Unlike the Ho?okipa model, the Makaha will suit a smaller face or someone who prefers their sunglasses with less of wrap-around frame. The weight of the frame is tiny and the fit suits a small and medium sized head which, with the rubber grip compound on the ear stems and nose area, makes for a very comfortable frame that can be worn all day long. The lens material is polycarbonate, this extremely strong, optically excellent material has naturally very strong impact resistance which makes this an excellent sunglasses model for sports such as golf, tennis, running or any sport which involves fast moving objects as the lenses have superb levels of contrast enabling the wearer to see objects (even at speed) when passing through varying light conditions. A great example is road running when going through a tree lined street, the shadows, bright sunlight and shadows again cause your eyes to adjust quickly meaning obstacles and potholes go easily unseen, the better the contrast ability of the lens, the quicker your eyes adjust. The Maui Makaha has excellent contrast properties and really bring colours alive through patented tech ? a superior sunglass with reader magnification available.
