The Maui Jim® Kahuna sunglasses are as distinctive as the Kahuna Falls on Hawaii's Big Island. This modified aviator style sunglass is one of Maui Jim's perennial best sellers. The Kahuna's high-quality lens combines PolarizedPlus® Technology and optically correct, distortion free vision with a carefully crafted frame. A polarized lens' primary function is to reduce glare—that is, light reflected from a flat surface which greatly diminishes color and contrast. A body of water, a windshield, and even an asphalt road are all notorious producers of polarized light. Polarized lenses are most useful when trying to see through these reflecting surfaces, like when fishing, boating, or driving. Maui Jim sunglasses feature one of the most effective polarized lenses on the market. They are lightweight, tough, and very stylish.
Bottom Line: Style for Hollywood; sporty enough for the dedicated outdoor freak.
After a long hiatus wearing nothing but cheap shades and scratched-up crap found in ski resort parking lots, I blew some tax refund and bought a pair of these. I love them. Looking through these lenses is better than real life. I hope I manage to hang onto them for a long time, because they are spendy, but if you value optical clarity and quality construction you deserve to own a pair of these.
after sight-saving eye surgery I treated myself to these high quality shades and I have no regrets. They fit like a glove and are soothing to the eyes in the brightest glare...not to mention they look good too !!!

I had a pair of these (lost the past summer after 5 years or so). Great glasses. A tad heavy, but fit my wide nose bridge particularly well, and a bit clearer than polycarbonate.
These are the best sunglasses I've ever owned. They fit great, look great, and their lenses are excellent for blocking glare.Backcountry did a great job of honoring the warranty on these after they got damaged. Zero hassle and expeditious customer support = loyal customer.
Go to a local independent Maui Jim dealer and they can order a new set of lenses for $60. Or you can mail them into Maui Jim and they can do it for you. Their turnaround time is incredible...48-72 hrs! Good choice on the Kahuna btw, it is a great style!
This is the fourth pair I've owned. Everytime I've lost or broken a pair (always my fault) I look around, but they're still my favorite. The look classy anywhere, but they're also light enough to run in.
I love these sunglasses. Also, the lifetime guarantee from Backcountry came in handy. My first pair broke after only a few days, and they sent me a brand new pair with no hassle.
Worked great on in the Carribean, so I figure they'd work well anywhere!
Top notch optical quality lenses, excellent well made and comfortable frames. I bought a pair 6 years ago and just bought a back up - same great quality! It is good to see some products maintaining their great quality! Best fitting sunglasses I have ever had.
I have been wearing Maui Jim Kahuna sun glasses for just over two years. I purchased them to replace a lost pair of Maui Jim Waimea Bay. Since the very first time I tried them on I was unable to find any other brand to compare. Do yourself and your eyes a favor and try Maui Jim's. Hands down the best sunglasses available.
I bought my Maui Jim's over 10 years ago and was nervous about paying so much for sunglasses. These are worth EVERY penny. Recently, I sent them in for repairs for a chipped frame and Maui Jim's customer service is PHENOMENAL. Helpful, friendly, polite and my sunglasses look BRAND NEW.
