Maui Jim WAIWAI vs. Other Maui Jim Aviators
If you're considering the WAIWAI MJ634, you're likely also looking at other premium Maui Jim aviators. Here's how the WAIWAI compares to three popular alternatives in our collection.
WAIWAI vs. Guardrails MJ327
Both the WAIWAI and Guardrails feature titanium construction and PolarizedPlus2 lenses, but the WAIWAI offers a slightly larger 59mm lens compared to the Guardrails' 58mm. The WAIWAI's more pronounced teardrop shape delivers the classic aviator aesthetic, while the Guardrails has a subtly different lens contour. If you want maximum coverage and the most traditional aviator look, the WAIWAI is the better choice. If you have a medium face and prefer a slightly smaller fit, the Guardrails may be more comfortable.
WAIWAI vs. Wiki Wiki MJ246
The Wiki Wiki shares the WAIWAI's 59mm lens width and titanium frame material, making them very similar in coverage and weight. The key difference is in the temple length: the WAIWAI's 145mm temples are significantly longer than the Wiki Wiki's 120mm, making the WAIWAI better suited for larger heads or those who prefer a more secure fit behind the ears. The Wiki Wiki starts at a lower price ($234.97 vs. $283.85), but the WAIWAI's longer temples and 15mm bridge (vs. 17mm) may provide a better fit for many wearers.
WAIWAI vs. Mavericks MJ264
The Mavericks steps up to a 61mm lens width, making it the largest option among these aviators. If you want maximum coverage and have a larger face, the Mavericks delivers. However, the WAIWAI's 59mm lens strikes a better balance for most wearers—large enough for excellent coverage without overwhelming your face. The WAIWAI's 15mm bridge is also narrower than the Mavericks' 17mm, which can provide a more secure fit for those with narrower nose bridges. Both offer the same PolarizedPlus2 technology and lens color options.
Why Choose the WAIWAI?
The WAIWAI MJ634 is the ideal choice if you want a classic teardrop aviator with a large fit, longer temple length for secure wear, and a narrower bridge for better nose fit. Its combination of 59mm lenses, 145mm temples, and 15mm bridge creates proportions that work well for a wide range of face sizes, while the titanium construction and MauiPure lenses keep the weight minimal. If you prioritize the traditional aviator silhouette with modern Maui Jim technology, the WAIWAI delivers exactly that.
