DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Maui Jim WALAKA MJ885 Sunglasses bring a modern edge to the classic teardrop aviator with lightweight titanium construction and the brand's legendary PolarizedPlus2 lens technology. Built for those who demand both style and optical performance, the WALAKA pairs a clean double-bridge design with adjustable silicone nose pads and precision-cut temple tips for all-day comfort.

PolarizedPlus2 Lens Technology

Every WALAKA features Maui Jim's patented PolarizedPlus2 lenses, which go far beyond basic polarization. The technology eliminates 99.9% of glare while blocking 100% of harmful UV rays and high-energy visible (HEV) blue light. A proprietary blend of three rare earth elements enhances reds, greens, and blues, delivering color and contrast that standard sunglasses simply flatten out. Available in four lens options—Neutral Grey for bright sunlight, HCL Bronze for variable conditions, Hawaii Lava with a red mirror, and Blue Hawaii with a blue mirror—each tint is engineered for specific light conditions while maintaining true color perception.

The lenses use MauiPure material, Maui Jim's most popular lens choice. MauiPure combines optics nearly as crisp as SuperThin Glass with one-third the weight, plus excellent scratch and shatter resistance. An oleophobic coating repels water, oil, and fingerprints, while anti-reflective treatment on the backside eliminates bounce-back glare from behind.

Titanium Frame & Fit

The WALAKA's matte titanium frame keeps weight to a minimum without sacrificing durability. The 57mm teardrop lenses suit medium faces, and the adjustable silicone nose pads let you dial in a secure, personalized fit. The double-bridge design adds structural support and a refined look that works equally well on the water, at the airport, or around town. Temple tips are expertly cut for comfort behind the ears during extended wear.

Prescription-Ready

The WALAKA is fully compatible with prescription lenses, including single vision and progressive options. Maui Jim's prescription program maintains the same PolarizedPlus2 technology and color enhancement found in their non-prescription lenses, so you get the full optical benefit with your Rx.

With a two-year warranty, saltwater-safe construction, and the kind of lens clarity that's made Maui Jim a favorite among pilots, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts, the WALAKA MJ885 is built to perform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Maui Jim WALAKA sunglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the WALAKA MJ885 is fully prescription-ready and compatible with both single vision and progressive lenses. Maui Jim's prescription lenses maintain the same PolarizedPlus2 technology, glare elimination, and color enhancement as their non-prescription versions, so you get the full optical benefit with your Rx.

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

MauiPure is Maui Jim's most popular lens material, combining optics nearly as crisp as SuperThin Glass with just one-third the weight. It offers excellent scratch and shatter resistance, making it ideal for active wear. While SuperThin Glass provides the absolute crispest optics, MauiPure delivers outstanding clarity at a significantly lighter weight with better impact resistance.

What does PolarizedPlus2 technology do?

PolarizedPlus2 is Maui Jim's patented lens technology that eliminates 99.9% of glare and blocks 100% of harmful UV and HEV blue light. It uses a blend of three rare earth elements to enhance reds, greens, and blues, providing superior color, clarity, and contrast compared to standard polarized lenses. Every lens also includes anti-reflective and oleophobic coatings for easier cleaning and reduced backside glare.

Are the nose pads on the WALAKA adjustable?

Yes, the WALAKA features adjustable silicone nose pads that allow you to customize the fit for maximum comfort and optical alignment. The nose pads are designed to stay secure even during active wear, and Maui Jim provides free replacement nose pads as long as parts are available under their warranty program.

What face size does the WALAKA fit best?

The WALAKA MJ885 is designed for medium faces with 57mm lens width, 16mm bridge, and 140mm temples. The classic teardrop aviator shape is versatile and suits a variety of face shapes, while the adjustable nose pads help fine-tune the fit for different nose bridges and facial contours.

Which lens color should I choose for the WALAKA?

Neutral Grey offers the highest light reduction for bright, direct sunlight with rich color and contrast. HCL Bronze is the most versatile option for everyday variable conditions with a warm tint and excellent contrast. Hawaii Lava features a red mirror coating for style and performance, while Blue Hawaii offers a blue mirror with the same color enhancement. All four provide 100% UV protection and PolarizedPlus2 benefits.

Maui Jim WALAKA vs. Other Titanium Aviators

If you're choosing between Maui Jim's titanium aviator collection, the WALAKA MJ885 sits in the sweet spot for medium faces with its 57mm lens and refined double-bridge design. Here's how it compares to similar models in our collection.

WALAKA vs. Mavericks MJ264

The Maui Jim Mavericks MJ264 is the larger sibling in the titanium aviator family, featuring 61mm lenses designed for bigger faces. Both share pure titanium construction, adjustable silicone nose pads, and the full PolarizedPlus2 lens lineup. Choose the Mavericks if you need more coverage or have a larger face; stick with the WALAKA if you prefer a more refined, medium fit that won't overwhelm your features. The WALAKA's double-bridge design also gives it a slightly more modern look compared to the Mavericks' traditional single-bridge aviator aesthetic.

WALAKA vs. Baby Beach MJ245

The Maui Jim Baby Beach MJ245 is one of Maui Jim's most popular aviators and appears frequently in customer reviews praising its lightweight comfort. While both models offer classic aviator styling and PolarizedPlus2 lenses, the WALAKA's titanium construction makes it even lighter than Baby Beach models with nylon or acetate frames. If you prioritize absolute minimum weight and a premium metal feel, the WALAKA is the better choice. Baby Beach offers more frame color variety and may be slightly more affordable depending on configuration.

WALAKA vs. Wiki Wiki MJ246

The Maui Jim Wiki Wiki MJ246 is another titanium aviator at a nearly identical price point. Both deliver the same ultra-lightweight titanium construction and PolarizedPlus2 optics. The key difference is in the bridge design—the WALAKA's double-bridge offers a more contemporary look and additional structural support, while the Wiki Wiki maintains a more traditional single-bridge aviator profile. Your choice comes down to aesthetic preference: modern double-bridge (WALAKA) or classic single-bridge (Wiki Wiki).

Our take: The WALAKA MJ885 is the ideal choice if you want a medium-sized titanium aviator with a refined double-bridge design that balances classic aviator DNA with modern details. Its 57mm lens size, adjustable fit, and lightweight construction make it exceptionally versatile for everyday wear, travel, and outdoor activities.
