DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Maui Jim Cloud Break MJ700 sunglasses bring together sophisticated butterfly styling and the brand's legendary PolarizedPlus2 lens technology. This unisex frame features a distinctive tortoise front with peacock blue temples—a color combination that's earned genuine fans among Maui Jim wearers.

PolarizedPlus2 Technology: More Than Just Polarization

Every pair of Maui Jim sunglasses features PolarizedPlus2 lenses, and the Cloud Break's HCL Bronze option is one of the brand's most popular choices for good reason. HCL stands for "High Contrast Lens," and these lenses do exactly that: they eliminate 99.9% of glare while enhancing color and contrast through a patented blend of three rare earth elements that boost reds, greens, and blues. The result is a warm, bronze-tinted view that makes the world look richer without the flat, washed-out effect of ordinary sunglasses.

The HCL Bronze lens works across variable light conditions—from full sun to overcast—making it an excellent everyday lens for driving, hiking, or casual wear. The 12% visible light transmission strikes a balance: dark enough for bright days, but not so dark that you'll want to take them off when clouds roll in. The lenses also block 100% of harmful UV rays and reduce high-energy visible (HEV) blue light, protecting your eyes from long-term damage.

Beyond polarization, these lenses feature anti-reflective coatings on the back surface to eliminate bounce-back glare, plus oleophobic and hydrophobic treatments that make water bead up and roll off while resisting smudges from sunscreen, makeup, or fingerprints.

"I love the peacock blue accent. The lens give me crystal clear polarized vision." — Tommy Bahama customer review

Fit, Frame & Who It's For

The Cloud Break features a butterfly shape—characterized by upswept outer edges that lift and flatter the face. This shape works particularly well for oval, heart-shaped, and square faces, as the curved lines add softness and balance. The medium 56mm lens width suits average-sized heads, and the 17mm bridge and 130mm temples provide a comfortable, secure fit.

The full-rim frame is made from lightweight, hypoallergenic plastic with internal wire-core temples that curve gently for stability behind the ears. The tortoise-with-peacock-blue finish is made in Italy, and the attention to detail shows. The frame is prescription-ready, so you can add single-vision or progressive lenses through an authorized Maui Jim provider—96% of Maui Jim styles are available with prescription lenses featuring the same PolarizedPlus2 technology.

If you're looking for a versatile, everyday sunglass that delivers on both style and optical performance, the Cloud Break is a strong choice. It's not a sports-specific wrap, but it's built for real life: comfortable enough to wear all day, protective enough for bright sun, and stylish enough that you'll actually want to wear them.

Every lens also includes anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, and oleophobic coatings.

What are the frame measurements for the Cloud Break MJ700?

The Cloud Break MJ700 has a 56mm lens width, 17mm bridge width, and 130mm temple length (56-17-130). This is considered a medium fit suitable for average-sized heads. The butterfly shape features a full-rim plastic frame with wire-core temples for a secure, comfortable fit.

Maui Jim Cloud Break vs. Nalani vs. Orchid: Which Butterfly Style Is Right for You?

If you're drawn to the Cloud Break's butterfly styling and PolarizedPlus2 lenses, you might also consider the Maui Jim Nalani MJ295 and Orchid MJ735—two other women's styles in the same price range that offer the same legendary lens technology with different frame aesthetics.

Cloud Break MJ700: The Cloud Break stands out for its distinctive tortoise-with-peacock-blue color combination and classic butterfly shape. The upswept outer edges and medium 56mm lens width make it flattering for oval, heart, and square faces. Customer reviews consistently mention the peacock blue accent as a favorite detail, and the HCL Bronze lens option is ideal for everyday variable conditions. If you want a versatile, eye-catching frame that works from morning coffee to afternoon errands, the Cloud Break delivers.

Nalani MJ295 ($221.12): The Nalani leans slightly more cat-eye than butterfly, with a similar upswept design but potentially different proportions. It's a great alternative if you like the Cloud Break's general vibe but want to explore other color options or a slightly different silhouette. Both frames are prescription-ready and feature the same PolarizedPlus2 technology, so your choice comes down to fit and finish preference.

Orchid MJ735 ($200.98–$222.31): The Orchid offers another take on women's Maui Jim styling at a comparable price. While it may not have the same butterfly shape as the Cloud Break, it's worth considering if you're open to exploring different frame designs while staying within the Maui Jim family. Like the Cloud Break and Nalani, it's prescription-ready and features full PolarizedPlus2 protection.

Our take: If the butterfly shape and peacock blue detail speak to you, the Cloud Break is the clear choice. The Nalani is your best bet if you want a similar style with different color options, while the Orchid is worth a look if you're open to a different frame shape entirely. All three deliver the same world-class lens technology—so you really can't go wrong.
