Choosing Your Perfect Maui Jim Asian Fit Sunglasses
If you're deciding between the LAULIMA ASIAN FIT MJ656 and other Maui Jim models, here's what you need to know.
LAULIMA Asian Fit vs. LAULIMA Standard Fit (MJ626)
These are the same sunglasses with one critical difference: the fit. If you have a lower nose bridge or higher cheekbones—or if sunglasses typically slide down your face—the Asian Fit MJ656 is your answer. The elevated nose bridge and built-up nose pads keep the frame exactly where it should be. The standard MJ626 works better if you have a higher, wider nose bridge and don't experience slipping issues. Both are $199.23 and feature identical MauiPure lenses and modern styling.
LAULIMA Asian Fit vs. Ho'okipa Universal Fit (MJ407)
The Ho'okipa is the legendary model that inspired the LAULIMA. Think of the LAULIMA as the Ho'okipa's modern evolution—sleeker lines, contemporary rectangular shape, and updated temple details. The Ho'okipa costs less ($167.78–$180.56) and has a proven track record as one of Maui Jim's most popular rimless styles. Its Universal Fit accommodates many face shapes but doesn't offer the same Asian Fit-specific engineering. Choose the LAULIMA if you want the latest design and dedicated Asian Fit features; choose the Ho'okipa if you prefer the classic look and want to save $20-30.
LAULIMA Asian Fit vs. Red Sands Asian Fit (MJ432)
Both are rimless Asian Fit models at nearly identical prices ($191.60–$207.00 for Red Sands vs. $199.23 for LAULIMA). The Red Sands offers a more traditional rectangular look, while the LAULIMA brings a contemporary edge with its signature wavy temple pattern and aerial-view logo. Both deliver the same Asian Fit comfort and PolarizedPlus2 lens technology. Your choice comes down to style preference: classic (Red Sands) or modern (LAULIMA).
Our recommendation: The LAULIMA ASIAN FIT MJ656 hits the sweet spot of modern design, proven Asian Fit engineering, and Maui Jim's best lens technology at a competitive price. If you've struggled with sunglasses fit in the past, the Asian Fit features make this worth every penny.
