Maui Jim MIKIOI vs. Wiki Wiki vs. Baby Beach: Which Titanium Aviator Is Right for You?
All three are premium titanium aviators with Maui Jim's PolarizedPlus2 lens technology, but they serve different style preferences and fit needs.
MIKIOI MJ887: The Modern Flat-Top Aviator
The MIKIOI stands out with its flat-top double bridge design—a modified square aviator that blends vintage and contemporary styling. At $245.38, it's the most affordable of the three, and the 54mm lens width with adjustable nose pads fits medium faces comfortably. The double bridge adds structural interest while keeping weight low. If you want a modern take on the aviator that doesn't look like every other pair, the MIKIOI delivers.
Wiki Wiki MJ246: The Classic Teardrop
The Wiki Wiki is the traditional aviator in this comparison—teardrop-shaped lenses, clean lines, and a timeless silhouette. It's available with SuperThin Glass lenses (the MIKIOI uses MauiPure), which means slightly better optical clarity at the cost of added weight. The Wiki Wiki fits medium faces and is made in Japan with precise quality control. At $260.77, you're paying a bit more for the classic aviator look and the option of glass lenses. Choose this if you prefer traditional aviator styling over the MIKIOI's flat-top edge.
Baby Beach MJ245: The Small-Face Specialist
The Baby Beach is designed for smaller-to-medium faces and features gradient lenses that are particularly well-suited for driving (darker at the top, lighter at the bottom). It's the most expensive option here ($261.05-$293.23), but it solves a specific problem: if regular aviators hit your cheekbones or slide down your nose, the Baby Beach's smaller fit and gradient lenses make it worth the premium. It's also made in Japan and available with glass lenses.
The Bottom Line
Choose the MIKIOI if you want a modern flat-top aviator at the best price, with a double bridge design that adds visual interest. Choose the Wiki Wiki if you prefer the classic teardrop aviator shape and want the option of SuperThin Glass lenses. Choose the Baby Beach if you have a smaller face or need gradient lenses for driving. All three deliver the same exceptional PolarizedPlus2 lens performance—it's really about fit and style preference.
