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.
