Maui Jim Nuu Landing Polarized Sunglasses
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for the Outdoors, Inspired by Nature
Named after a beloved natural sanctuary known for its wildlife and scenic beauty, the Maui Jim Nuu Landing wrap delivers serious outdoor performance in a modern, streamlined silhouette. The nylon frame construction keeps the fit lightweight and resilient across long days outside, while high-performance thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) accents at the temples and nose provide a secure, comfortable grip. TPE is a sustainable alternative to traditional rubber, so the Nuu Landing pairs environmental consideration with the practical durability outdoor enthusiasts expect.
PolarizedPlus2 Lenses: What They Do
Every pair of Nuu Landing sunglasses is built around Maui Jim's PolarizedPlus2 lens technology. Standard polarization blocks a horizontal glare layer; PolarizedPlus2 goes further, filtering harmful UV, blue light, and multiple glare angles simultaneously while enhancing color saturation, contrast, and depth perception. The result is a view that feels more vivid and natural rather than dimmed or distorted, which makes a real difference when you are reading water surface, navigating trails, or spotting wildlife at distance.
The lens material is SuperThin Glass, Maui Jim's premium optical-quality glass formulation. Glass inherently delivers sharper optical clarity and better scratch resistance than polycarbonate, and the SuperThin profile keeps the weight low without sacrificing that optical advantage. The MAUIGreen lens tint is tuned for versatile outdoor light conditions, enhancing natural greens and blues while maintaining true color perception.
Wrap Fit and Face Compatibility
The Nuu Landing uses a quintessential wrap geometry that positions the lenses close to the face for maximum peripheral coverage and glare blockage from side angles. The frame is engineered for a medium face fit. The streamlined construction avoids bulk while the TPE contact points conform to the face over time, improving comfort during extended wear.
Prescription Compatibility
The Nuu Landing frame accommodates a prescription power range of +3.00 to -4.50, making it a practical option for prescription wearers who want genuine Maui Jim optics in a sport-ready wrap frame. Confirm your prescription fit with an optician before ordering.
About Maui Jim
Maui Jim began in 1980 as a small sunglasses company on the beach in Lahaina, Hawaii. The brand's mission from the start was to spread aloha through vivid color, clarity, and detail while protecting eyes from the harsh effects of glare and harmful UV rays. The Nuu Landing is a current expression of that original purpose: high-performance protection with a design that respects the natural environments where it gets used.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Maui Jim Nuu Landing sunglasses polarized?
- Yes. Every Nuu Landing pair uses Maui Jim's PolarizedPlus2 technology, which eliminates glare and enhances color, contrast, and depth perception beyond standard polarization.
- What is the Nuu Landing lens material?
- The lenses are made from SuperThin Glass, Maui Jim's premium optical glass formulation. It delivers sharper clarity and better scratch resistance than polycarbonate while keeping weight low.
- Can the Maui Jim Nuu Landing fit prescription lenses?
- Yes. The frame supports a prescription power range of +3.00 to -4.50. Consult an optician to confirm your prescription is within that range before ordering.
- What makes the Maui Jim Nuu Landing wrap style beneficial?
- The wrap geometry places the lenses close to the face for broader peripheral coverage, blocking glare from side angles that straight-front frames leave exposed. This is especially useful in bright outdoor environments like water, beach, or open trails.
- What is thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and why does Maui Jim use it on the Nuu Landing?
- TPE is a high-performance polymer that behaves like rubber (flexible, grippy, comfortable against skin) but is produced using a more sustainable manufacturing process than traditional rubber. Maui Jim uses it on the Nuu Landing's temple and nose accents to improve grip and comfort while reducing the frame's environmental footprint.
- How does the MAUIGreen lens tint perform outdoors?
- MAUIGreen is tuned to enhance natural greens and blues while maintaining accurate color perception across a range of outdoor light conditions. It is well suited for water activities, nature trails, and general outdoor use.
