DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Maui Jim HAU'OLI MJ665 sunglasses bring a classic teardrop aviator silhouette to life with the brand's signature Hawaiian-inspired details. Named after the Hawaiian word for "happy" (pronounced "how-oh-lee"), these polarized aviator sunglasses feature a distinctive wavy pattern on transparent temple tips that sets them apart from standard aviators.

MauiPure Lenses with PolarizedPlus2 Technology

Built with MauiPure lens material—Maui Jim's most popular option—the HAU'OLI delivers optics nearly as crisp as glass at just one-third the weight. MauiPure combines ultra-lightweight construction with excellent scratch and shatter resistance, making these sunglasses ideal for active wear. Every lens features Maui Jim's patented PolarizedPlus2 technology, which eliminates 99.9% of glare while enhancing color with a blend of rare earth elements that boost reds, greens, and blues. You get 100% UV protection, plus blue light filtering and anti-reflective coatings on both sides of the lens.

The HAU'OLI is available in four lens colors to match different conditions: Neutral Grey offers the highest light reduction for bright sun, HCL Bronze provides a warm tint for everyday versatility, Maui HT adds extra contrast in low light, and Blue Hawaii features a striking blue mirror finish. The 59mm lens width and 12mm bridge deliver a medium fit that works well for most face shapes.

Lightweight Metal Frame & Prescription-Ready

The full-rim metal frame features a double-bridge design with adjustable silicone nose pads for a customized fit. At 145mm temple length, the HAU'OLI sits comfortably without sliding, even during active pursuits. These frames are prescription-ready—Maui Jim can fit most prescriptions (single vision and progressive) through authorized optical retailers, so you don't have to choose between clear vision and superior sun protection.

Customers consistently note the exceptional lightness and all-day comfort. The saltwater-safe, corrosion-resistant construction means you can rinse them after beach days without worry. Whether you're on the water, driving into the sunset, or simply enjoying outdoor time, the HAU'OLI delivers the vibrant, glare-free view Maui Jim is known for—at a more accessible price point than many of their premium aviator models.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get the Maui Jim HAU'OLI MJ665 with prescription lenses?

Yes, the HAU'OLI MJ665 is prescription-ready. Maui Jim can produce these sunglasses with both single vision and progressive prescription lenses through authorized optical retailers. Since prescription lenses are considered a medical device, they must be dispensed through an eye care professional's office. Contact us to discuss your prescription needs and compatibility.

What is MauiPure lens material and how does it compare to glass?

MauiPure is Maui Jim's most popular lens material, combining optics almost as crisp as their SuperThin Glass with ultra-lightweight construction and excellent scratch and shatter resistance. It's significantly lighter than glass (about one-third the weight) while still delivering exceptional clarity. MauiPure is ideal for active lifestyles since it's more impact-resistant than glass, though glass lenses do offer slightly superior scratch resistance.

Which lens color should I choose for the HAU'OLI sunglasses?

The HAU'OLI offers four lens colors for different conditions: Neutral Grey provides the highest light reduction (best for bright, direct sunlight), HCL Bronze offers a warm tint excellent for everyday varied conditions, Maui HT provides extra contrast in low light and for golf, and Blue Hawaii features a blue mirror coating with the same color enhancement as other Maui Jim lenses. Your choice depends on when and where you'll wear them most.

What size face does the HAU'OLI MJ665 fit?

The HAU'OLI MJ665 features a medium fit with 59mm lens width, 12mm bridge, and 145mm temple length. This classic teardrop aviator size works well for most face shapes and is considered the most accessible aviator size. The adjustable silicone nose pads allow for customization to your specific face shape, and the frames are light enough that they won't slide during activity.

Are Maui Jim sunglasses safe to wear in saltwater?

Yes, Maui Jim sunglasses including the HAU'OLI are saltwater-safe and corrosion-resistant. They're designed to get wet and can be rinsed with filtered tap water after ocean exposure, then dried with a soft, clean cloth. The frames and lenses feature water-repellent and oleophobic treatments that make water bead up and roll off, and they're easier to clean of sunscreen, salt, and other residues.

What does HAU'OLI mean and how do you pronounce it?

HAU'OLI (pronounced "how-oh-lee") is a Hawaiian word meaning happy, glad, or joyful. It's commonly heard in Hawaiian greetings like "Hau'oli Makahiki Hou" (Happy New Year) and "Hau'oli Lā Hānau" (Happy Birthday). The name reflects Maui Jim's Hawaiian heritage and the brand's mission to help people see the world in vibrant, joyful color.

How the Maui Jim HAU'OLI MJ665 Sunglasses stacks up against the closest alternatives we carry.

Read the full comparison

HAU'OLI MJ665 vs. HAU'OLI XL MJ674: Size Matters

The most straightforward comparison is between the standard HAU'OLI MJ665 and its larger sibling, the HAU'OLI XL MJ674. Both share identical MauiPure lenses with PolarizedPlus2 technology, the same wavy temple pattern, and the same price ($176.15). The only difference is size: the XL offers larger lenses for more coverage and better suits larger faces or those who prefer oversized aviators. If you have a medium face or want a classic aviator proportion, stick with the MJ665. If you have a larger face, high cheekbones, or simply prefer more coverage, the XL is your match.

HAU'OLI MJ665 vs. MAVERICKS MJ264: Value vs. Premium

The Maui Jim MAVERICKS MJ264 represents the brand's flagship aviator—a premium titanium frame with the iconic large teardrop shape that's universally flattering. While the Mavericks offers superior frame durability and more finish options, it comes at a significantly higher price ($235.60–$291.54). The HAU'OLI delivers the same exceptional PolarizedPlus2 lens technology and MauiPure optics at a more accessible price point, plus it adds a unique design element with its wavy temple tips. If you want Maui Jim's best aviator lens performance without the premium frame cost, the HAU'OLI is an excellent choice. If you prioritize titanium construction and want the classic Maui Jim aviator legacy, invest in the Mavericks.

HAU'OLI MJ665 vs. BABY BEACH MJ245: Fit and Coverage

For customers who love the aviator look but struggle with fit, the BABY BEACH MJ245 offers a modified aviator design with shallower lenses. This best-selling style prevents the lenses from hitting high cheekbones—a common issue with traditional teardrop aviators. The Baby Beach costs more ($261.05–$293.23) and provides less coverage than the HAU'OLI's classic teardrop shape. Choose the HAU'OLI if you want traditional aviator coverage and the classic teardrop silhouette at a better price. Choose the Baby Beach if standard aviators rest on your cheeks or if you prefer a more compact aviator aesthetic.

Why Choose the HAU'OLI MJ665?

The HAU'OLI MJ665 hits a sweet spot in Maui Jim's aviator lineup: it delivers the brand's renowned PolarizedPlus2 lens technology and MauiPure optics at one of the most accessible price points, while adding a distinctive design element (the wavy temple pattern) that sets it apart from generic aviators. The medium fit works for most face shapes, and the four lens color options let you optimize for your specific conditions. If you want authentic Maui Jim performance in a classic aviator that won't break the bank, the HAU'OLI is hard to beat.
