As a frequent traveler I always find myself in sunny destinations carrying around at least two different pairs of sunglasses. One pair ends up not offering enough sun protection and the other is usually too dark. This might be because I always tend to pick sunglasses based solely on the styling and fit. I have never given much thought about the lens quality… until now. After trying out some new Maui Jim shades with color enhancing lens technology, my world has literally become a lot more beautiful.

Maui Jim sunglasses use SuperThin ST Glass which is thinner and lighter than normal glass. The PolarizedPlus2 lens technology combats glare and polarized lenses enhance color, I never really considered polarized or designer sunglasses a worthwhile investment, but the quality of our Maui Jim glasses is clear.

I’ve been wearing these for a week and I’m already never going back. The lenses are so clear and they make such a big difference while driving or working outside. I’ve come to realize premium sunglasses with UV protection belong in every traveler’s bag. After all, when you’re traveling to amazing places, don’t you want to see them clearly?

I think a quality pair of polarized sunglasses might be the best gift idea for frequent travelers. Think about it: headed on a bohemian honeymoon? Sunglasses. Going for a solo hiking adventure through the Andes? Sunglasses. Headed to Canada for some snowshoeing? Sunglasses. You’re welcome for solving your next gift-giving crisis. What better way to help someone enjoy an upcoming trip than by enhancing the view of their destination.

The Sunshine have a lighter tint which is perfect for everyday use and a stylish cat-eye shape for a little flair. The frames are lightweight but sturdy and you don’t need to sacrifice the lens quality for style.

The Hang 10 with SuperThin ST Glass are great for blocking glare from water or snow and are very lightweight and comfortable even after hours of use. The earpieces have a little give for added flexibility.

We’re huge advocates for sun protection and that’s something that should also apply to your eyes. If you’re squinting all day during your beach vacation, it’s time to upgrade your sunglasses and protect your eyesight. Adventurers and style-fans will have no trouble finding frames that suit them, with plenty of styles to choose from; all with advanced lens technology and dependable frames.

I know I’ll get a lot of use out of these Maui Jim’s sunglasses and they are an excellent accessory on any adventure!
