Understanding Maui Jim’s Awesome Lens Colors
Neutral Grey
This is the darkest, almost “black looking” lens. It gives rich colors, and rich contrast. The neutral grey lens is best for bright, and direct sunlight.
Maui Rose
Very similar to the HCL Bronze, with more of a “pink” hue, and even more contrast. A perfect choice for fast sports, and mixed lighting conditions. A bi-gradient lens, slightly darker on the top and bottom with a slight “silvery” tint.
Blue Hawaii
A Neutral Grey lens with a blue mirror on the front. This combination actually creates a view like the HCL Bronze lens. A warmer look. A very popular, great looking lens.
Maui Green
A Neutral Grey lens with a green mirror. This combination gives a view similar to the Maui Rose, but a bit darker. Great for bright sunlight situations and out on the water.
HCL Bronze
This is a popular lens that is appears to be a brown tint. “HCL” stands for High Contrast Lens. It gives a warmer view, and is perfect for everyday use. A bi-gradient lens, slightly darker on the top and bottom.
Maui HT
“HT” means High Transmission. This lens is perfect for lower light situations, and great on the golf course. It is the least dark lens in the lineup. It too offers great contrast and color.
Lava Red
An HCL Bronze lens with a red mirror on the front, adding a bit extra “pink” hue to your view. It also makes this lens a bit darker than the HCL Bronze, but not quite as dark as the Neutral Grey.
