Maui Jim 2nd Reef Polarized Sunglasses
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Inspired by the Banzai Pipeline
The Second Reef at the Banzai Pipeline is one of surfing's most storied challenges, first conquered in the 1960s. Maui Jim built the 2nd Reef around that legacy. The result is a modified square aviator with a navigator silhouette that carries the spirit of that era into everyday wear, turning routine outings into something worth showing up for.
SuperThin Glass Lenses
The 2nd Reef is fitted with Maui Jim's SuperThin Glass lenses, which deliver exceptional optical clarity and scratch resistance that polycarbonate cannot match. Glass eliminates the distortion that cheaper lens materials introduce at the edges of the frame, so your field of view stays crisp from center to periphery. The polarized construction cuts glare off water, wet roads, and reflective surfaces, reducing eye fatigue on long days outside.
Frame Construction
The front of the frame is stainless steel with a brushed dark gunmetal finish. A tapered double bridge gives the 2nd Reef its distinctive navigator profile, referencing the classic aviator tradition without copying it. The temples are acetate, providing a lightweight, comfortable grip along the sides of the head and a visual contrast to the metal front. The combination keeps the overall weight low while maintaining rigidity in the frame front where it matters most for lens alignment.
Prescription Ready
The 2nd Reef accepts prescription lenses across an Rx power range of +3.00 to -4.50, making it a practical choice for those who need vision correction without giving up premium polarized optics. Consult your optician to confirm compatibility with your specific prescription.
Maui Jim Brand
Maui Jim got its start in 1980 as a small company selling sunglasses on the beach in Lahaina, Hawaii. The brand's mission has stayed consistent: deliver vivid color, clarity, and detail while protecting eyes from glare and harmful UV. The 2nd Reef represents that lineage applied to a frame that works on the water and off it equally well.
