The Classic Round Built for Real Light
The Maui Jim Hiehie is a polarized round sunglass designed to perform from mountain peaks to city streets. SuperThin Glass lenses deliver a lighter, sharper optical experience than standard glass, and Maui Jim's PolarizedPlus2 technology goes beyond blocking glare: it enhances color, sharpens contrast, and filters harmful UV rays so the world looks as vivid as it actually is.
PolarizedPlus2 Lens Technology
Maui Jim has built its reputation on PolarizedPlus2, a proprietary lens system that eliminates reflected glare while simultaneously boosting the color and clarity of everything you see. Standard polarized lenses cut glare by blocking light. PolarizedPlus2 also restores the color saturation and depth that ordinary lenses strip out, giving you richer blues in the sky, truer greens in the water, and better contrast on trails, roads, and open faces. Every Hiehie lens blocks 100% of UVA, UVB, and UVC rays.
SuperThin Glass Lenses
SuperThin Glass is Maui Jim's premium lens material. It offers optical purity that plastic and polycarbonate cannot match, in a thinner and lighter profile than conventional glass. The result is a lens that feels balanced on the face and produces no distortion at the edges of your field of view.
Frame Design and Craftsmanship
The Hiehie wears a clean round silhouette that reads as both timeless and current. The frame construction is transparent and lightweight, as visible in the product images: a clear-tinted front and temples that reveal their material rather than hiding it. Maui Jim's Signature Native Pattern is etched into the exterior of the temple core, a nod to Hawaiian heritage and the brand's Lahaina roots. The rubber temple tips carry a complementary Signature Slash and native pattern, adding a tactile grip point that also serves as a brand detail.
The Maui Jim Story
Maui Jim started in 1980 as a small company selling sunglasses on the beach in Lahaina, Hawaii. The mission was direct: give people a way to see the beauty around them without the compromise of glare. That original purpose still drives every lens design. The Hiehie is a product of that heritage: technically precise, culturally rooted, and built for people who spend real time outdoors.
