MAUI JIM Peahi Polarized Sunglasses

Looking for a pair of sunglasses that will not only protect your eyes from UV light and glare, but stray UV light, sand and allergens as well? It’s a wrap.

That’s right, a pair of wrap-around sunglasses like Maui Jim’s Peahi Polarized Sunglasses provide extra protection due to their curved shape and wide temples. You know those pesky rays of light that sneak in around your eyes when you’re on the water? Those reflected rays add to eye strain and are just as damaging as the light coming straight into your lenses. Wrap-arounds also help keep sand and allergens out of your eyes since they fit closer to your face.

Pe’ahi (‘peh-AH-hee’) is a place on Maui’s north shore where the biggest wave surfed in the world each year is typically found. This surf break, also known as “Jaws,” produces waves as extreme as 70 feet at times. These sunglasses exemplify the all-in attitude needed to surf here with their large wrap frames of lightweight yet durable Grilamid and SuperThin Glass lenses with outstanding optics and the best scratch and solvent resistance. Their PolarizedPlus2® lens technology goes beyond shielding your eyes from glare and harmful UV to reveal and enhance the colors that define wherever you live and play. Embedded, nonslip silicone nose pads and rubber ends help keep them on your face. Although, if you want to be extra sure they don’t end up falling off at an inopportune moment (like when you’re watching the action from the lookout on the Peahi cliffs above the break), a neoprene retainer or leash (sold separately) is inexpensive insurance.
