Maui Jim Hoku Sunglasses - Polarized - 2010 BCS
Available Colors / Styles
Be the first to upload your photo of the Hoku Sunglasses - Polarized. >
Hoku Sunglasses combine the durability of a nylon frame and spring hinges with the classic style that Maui Jim sunglasses are known for. These glasses also offer exceptional quality vision with optically correct PolarizedPlus SuperThin glass lenses and a wrap-around design that doesn't hinder peripheral vision. With fade-resistant frames, they're guaranteed to always look new no matter how much time you spend in the sun. Hoku is the Hawaiian word for star, and that's exactly what you look like in these excellent shades.
Bottom Line: Durable frames and top-of-the-line lenses; the Hoku sunglasses have it all.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Hydrochloric Acid....sure, but what does that have to do with the color/lenses in this pair of sun glasses?

While HCl is an abbreviation for Hydrochloric Acid, it is also an abbreviation for "Hairy cell leukemia" (an uncommon and slowly progressing B cell leukemia). Neither of these are things you want in your eyes, fortunately for you, neither of these things are put into these sunglasses.
HCL in this case stands for "High Contrast Lens", which are specifically designed to increase contrast and clarity on foggy/hazy/overcast days.

Best (and most expensive) I ever bought

I bought a pair of these a few years back at Sunglass Hut. By far the best glasses I've ever had. Then again I usually only by the $20 kind. After using these for the past few years I decided to get online and see if they've come down in price. Unfortunately not. I paid about $200 the first time around.
These glasses do hold up to abuse. I've dropped them numerous times and always freak out when I do. But then I pick them up and there is never anything wrong with them.
I wear them all year round. Cloudy or sunny. Even when I'm chilling in the pool.
Two questions....what does HCL mean? And this eye glass is avail.

Teri, HCL stands for "high contrast lens" they are intended to improve contrast during hazy, overcast, or foggy days. Both lenses are polarized so they should help reduce reflection and glare off of things like glass and water.
They should both serve similar functionality, but if you are in constant hazy/foggy environments I would go for the glasses with the HCL lens, otherwise go for whatever you think looks the best.

Best pair of shades I've ever had

I've had two pairs of these Hoku's in the past two years. By far the best sunglasses I've ever had. Super sturdy hinges and glass lenses have taken a rediculous amount of abuse and the lenses shrug off wear and tear that would destroy plastic lenses. The optics amazing (as good or better than others), and the style is pretty timeless. If you get a pair of these, you will not be disappointed.

You can't order them here, but sometimes if you talk to the manufacturer directly they can make them for you.
