Maui Jim Kapalua Sunglasses

Whether you're fishing, playing golf, skating, surfing, biking, cruising or just hanging out like laundry, the right pair of sunglasses is an essential accessory to almost any outdoor activity. A quality pair will cut glare, protect your eyes from UV light and be comfortable to wear… and if they also happen to look good, so much the better. But what if you want a pair of shades that promises to do all of that and keep colors clear and vibrant, giving you a higher level of contrast and depth perception than other sunglasses? Luckily for you those titans of tint at Maui Jim sunglasses have put their collective heads together and come up with their Polarized Plus technology. This revolutionary light filtering system uses a combination of polarizing filters, bi-gradient mirrors, and an anti-reflective treatment to eliminate virtually every source of glare that your eyes can come across.

Sounds impressive, but do their glare cutting skills pay the bills? With change left over. We tested a pair of their Kapalua sunglasses from their Titanium Sport series. Named after the famous Kapalua golf course in Maui, these babies cut through harmful glare like polycarbonate katanas. Not only did they kill all of the ambient glare, but I could easily follow a high lob golf shot into the brightest sky without losing track of the ball. Unfortunately I could also track shots into the water without having to squint at the sun on the surface.

The Kapalua Comes In Other Colors

Armed with ultra-light titanium frames, the rimless Kapaluas weigh in at an incredible ten grams (about three paperclips if you're reading this at work). Sporting adjustable silicon nose pads and temple-hugging hingeless frames, these are absolutely the most comfortable shades on the market. And with ClearShell scratch -resistant lenses and Beta-Titanium alloy frames, they can endure the most rigorous activities of the most adventurous high performance sunglass wearer.

Also worth noting is the distinctive style of the Kapaluas. They effortlessly exude confidence with their one of a kind look and exceptional feel. With a plethora of models to choose from, Maui Jim has a look for just about any style-conscious shopper looking for the ultimate in lightweight performance sunglasses.

Bottom line is if you're looking for a pair of sunglasses that top the chart in beauty, comfort and performance, then you can't go wrong with Maui Jim's Kapaluas. Available in Gunmetal or Metalic Glass Copper frames and Natural Grey, HCL Bronze or Maui Rose lenses, for about two hundred and fifty dollars you can pick up a pair at your local sunglass booth or one of the dealers listed at MauiJim.com.
