The Maui Jim Black Coral MJ249 sunglasses deliver the optical clarity that serious sunglass wearers demand. Named after Hawaii’s state gem—designated in 1987—this refined rectangular frame pairs a Monel metal construction with Maui Jim’s SuperThin Glass lenses for vision that customers describe as exceptionally crisp.
The Black Coral features SuperThin Glass lenses, Maui Jim’s premium lens material that provides the absolute sharpest optics available. These lenses are 20-32% thinner and lighter than standard glass while offering superior scratch resistance. Every pair includes PolarizedPlus2 technology—a patented multi-layer design that eliminates 99.9% of glare, blocks 100% of harmful UV rays, and enhances color in ways standard polarized lenses can’t match. The Neutral Grey lens option offers the highest available light reduction for rich colors and sharp contrast in bright, direct sunlight, while the HCL Bronze variant provides a warm tint ideal for varied, everyday conditions.
“Mauis provide a cleaner and more crisp view” than polarized Ray-Bans. — Zappos customer review
The 65mm rectangular frame complements a range of face shapes for both men and women. A saddle-style single bridge features non-slip, adjustable Rabalon nose pads that stay secure during activity. The Monel metal frame—an extremely strong, corrosion-resistant alloy—is saltwater-safe and built to last, with acetate temple tips for added comfort. The frame front has a matte finish while the temples feature a high-gloss look, and anti-corrosive spring hinges provide flexibility for a secure fit across various face shapes and sizes.
Customers report wearing these sunglasses 10+ hours daily for driving, fishing, golfing, and water sports. The Black Coral is prescription-ready, and Maui Jim’s MauiPassport prescription program can fit these frames with single-vision or progressive lenses through authorized optical retailers.
Reviews consistently mention the superior optical clarity, comfortable all-day fit, and long-term durability. Many owners have purchased multiple pairs over the years or replaced lost pairs with the identical model. The glass lenses provide noticeably better clarity than polycarbonate alternatives, and the balanced weight distribution prevents pressure on the nose or ears even during extended wear.
