DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Maui Jim PULAMA MJ618 Sunglasses pair carbon fiber construction with the brand's PolarizedPlus2 lens technology. This rectangular unisex frame comes from Maui Jim, a company founded in 1980 in Lahaina, Hawaii, known for its polarized lens systems.

Carbon Fiber Frame Construction

The PULAMA features a carbon fiber frame that's durable, lightweight, and hypoallergenic. Carbon fiber resists everyday wear while staying comfortable for extended use. The frame includes Maui Jim's slash mid-temple design and adjustable rubber temple tips with the brand's wavy pattern for a secure fit. The 59mm lens width, 12mm bridge, and 145mm temples provide medium-to-large coverage.

PolarizedPlus2 Lens Technology

Every PULAMA frame comes with SuperThin Glass lenses—noticeably thinner and lighter than conventional glass—offering excellent optical clarity with superior scratch resistance. The PolarizedPlus2 technology eliminates 99.9% of glare while blocking 100% of harmful UV and high-energy visible (HEV) blue light. Unlike basic sunglasses that just darken your view, PolarizedPlus2 lenses are designed to boost color saturation, making reds, greens, and blues appear more vivid while maintaining natural contrast.

The PULAMA is available in four lens options: Neutral Grey (the darkest option, ideal for bright direct sunlight and water activities), HCL Bronze (a warm high-contrast lens for variable everyday conditions), Maui HT (a high-transmission lens that adds contrast in lower light, useful for driving and golf), and Neutral Grey with mirror coatings. Each lens includes anti-reflective treatment on the backside to reduce bounce-back glare, plus oleophobic and hydrophobic coatings that repel water, oil, and smudges.

Prescription-Ready Performance

The PULAMA MJ618 is fully compatible with prescription lenses if you need vision correction. Maui Jim's prescription lab can fit these frames with single-vision or progressive lenses in the same PolarizedPlus2 materials, maintaining the color enhancement and glare elimination features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Maui Jim PULAMA sunglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the PULAMA MJ618 is fully prescription-compatible. You can order these frames with single-vision or progressive prescription lenses through Maui Jim's authorized lab network, maintaining the same PolarizedPlus2 technology and lens color options (Neutral Grey, HCL Bronze, Maui Rose, and Maui HT are available in prescription). The 59-12-145mm measurements and full-rim construction make them ideal for prescription lens installation.

What is the difference between Maui Jim lens colors (Neutral Grey vs HCL Bronze vs Maui HT)?

Neutral Grey is Maui Jim's darkest lens, offering maximum light reduction for bright, direct sunlight—ideal for beach, water, and snow. HCL (High Contrast Lens) Bronze adds warmth and depth with a beautiful amber tint, excellent for variable everyday conditions and the most versatile all-around choice. Maui HT (High Transmission) is designed for lower light, offering extra contrast and color when most lenses would be too dark—perfect for driving, golf, and overcast days.

What are the benefits of carbon fiber frames?

Carbon fiber is ideal for sunglasses because it's durable, lightweight, and hypoallergenic. The PULAMA's carbon fiber construction resists wear and tear while remaining remarkably light for all-day comfort. The material is also used in the nose pad area, and the temple tips are adjustable and rubber-coated for a secure, customizable fit that won't irritate sensitive skin.

What is Maui Jim PolarizedPlus2 technology?

PolarizedPlus2 is Maui Jim's patented lens technology that goes beyond basic polarization. It eliminates 99.9% of glare, blocks 100% of harmful UV and HEV blue light, and uses a proprietary blend of three rare earth elements to enhance red, green, and blue wavelengths. This means you get vivid, true-to-life colors with exceptional clarity and contrast, not just a darkened view. Every lens also includes anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, and oleophobic coatings.

What is SuperThin Glass and how does it compare to other lens materials?

SuperThin Glass is Maui Jim's premium lens material, providing the absolute crispest optics available—32% thinner and lighter than standard glass with the best scratch and solvent resistance. It offers superior clarity compared to polycarbonate or plastic lenses. For those wanting even lighter weight, Maui Jim also offers MauiBrilliant and MauiPure materials with optics nearly as clear as glass at one-third the weight, though glass remains the gold standard for optical clarity.

What size are the Maui Jim PULAMA sunglasses?

The PULAMA MJ618 measures 59mm lens width, 12mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length (59-12-145), making them a medium-to-large unisex fit. The rectangular shape with full-rim construction provides excellent coverage without feeling oversized. The adjustable rubber temple tips allow you to customize the fit for your face shape and ensure they stay secure during active use.

Maui Jim PULAMA vs LELE KAWA vs HULILI: Which Rectangle Frame Is Right for You?

If you're drawn to Maui Jim's rectangular polarized sunglasses, the PULAMA MJ618, LELE KAWA MJ811, and HULILI MJ672 all deliver the brand's signature PolarizedPlus2 lens technology with 100% UV protection and exceptional color enhancement. Here's how they compare:

Carbon Fiber Construction: PULAMA vs LELE KAWA

Both the PULAMA and LELE KAWA feature Maui Jim's advanced carbon fiber frames—durable, lightweight, and hypoallergenic. The PULAMA distinguishes itself with a signature slash mid-temple design and the brand's wavy pattern on adjustable rubber temple tips, giving it a more distinctive modern look. The LELE KAWA offers a more classic rectangular aesthetic at a slightly lower price ($208-$222 vs $237). If you want the lightest, most modern carbon fiber frame with standout styling, the PULAMA is your choice. If you prefer understated elegance in the same advanced material, consider the LELE KAWA.

PULAMA vs HULILI: Frame Material Matters

The HULILI MJ672 sits in a similar price range ($214-$237) and offers the same PolarizedPlus2 lens options, but typically uses traditional acetate or nylon frame construction rather than carbon fiber. This means it may be slightly heavier but could offer more color and finish options. Choose the PULAMA if you prioritize the lightest weight and hypoallergenic properties of carbon fiber. The HULILI may appeal if you prefer classic frame materials or want more frame color variety.

Lens Options Across All Three

All three models are available with SuperThin Glass lenses in Neutral Grey (best for bright sun), HCL Bronze (versatile everyday use), and Maui HT (low-light contrast), and all are prescription-ready. The choice comes down to frame material preference and styling details.

Our recommendation: The PULAMA MJ618 is the best choice for those who want Maui Jim's most advanced frame technology combined with distinctive modern styling. Its carbon fiber construction delivers unmatched comfort for all-day wear, and the signature design details set it apart from more traditional rectangular frames.
