Ho'okipa Polarized Sunglasses

How can a pair of sunglasses have so many can't-live-without features and still be so lightweight?

We don't know either, but trust us, they do.

The Hawaiian word "ho'okipa" means hospitality. Maui's Ho'okipa Beach is also one of the world's premier windsurfing spots. Maui Jim's Ho'okipa Polarized Sunglasses with their 8-base frames of lightweight yet durable Grilamid are ready to welcome you with open arms (sorry for the pun), whether you're participating in fast-action sports or watching others do so from shore. Their PolarizedPlus2® lens technology goes beyond shielding your eyes from glare and harmful UV rays to reveal and enhance the colors that define the wonders of the world around you. If durability and protection against shattering are a priority, Maui Jim's polycarbonate lens material is up to the task. You'll also find nonslip rubberon nose pads and rubberon tips on the ends of the temples to ensure your comfort and to help keep them on your face. Although, if you want to be extra sure they don't end up falling off at an inopportune moment (like when you're pushing the limits on your one-design dinghy or summoning the beach waiter to bring another drink with one of those umbrellas in it), a neoprene retainer or leash (sold separately) is inexpensive insurance.
