Maui Jim Kaiwi Channel Polarized Sunglasses
Anyone searching for Maui Jim polarized sunglasses wants two things confirmed, real glare protection and a lens built to handle real conditions, and the Kaiwi Channel is named for exactly that kind of test, the channel that separates Oahu and Molokai. Whether you paddle, swim, or canoe, this pair offers serious eye protection and glare reduction along with a comfortable, medium fit and non-slip nose and temple tip pads.

Who These Sunglasses Are For
The Kaiwi Channel is built for time on and around the water, paddling, swimming, canoeing, or a day on the boat, where glare off the surface is constant. The comfortable medium fit and non-slip nose and temple tip pads are meant to keep the glasses in place through movement and sweat rather than sliding down.
Wearing and Caring for Polarized Glass Lenses
Because the lens is SuperThin Glass rather than plastic, rinse sand and salt off with fresh water and dry with a soft cloth rather than wiping dry, which can grind grit across the lens. Store the sunglasses in a case when not worn, glass lenses resist scratching better than plastic but are not scratch proof, and the HAWAII LAVA mirror coating is best protected from direct contact with hard surfaces.
The Maui Jim Brand
Maui Jim got its start in 1980 as a small company selling sunglasses on the beach in Lahaina, Hawaii. Inspired by the beauty and culture of Maui, the brand's mission is to spread aloha through vivid color, clarity, and detail, protecting eyes from glare and harmful rays while making the world look more vibrant.
