The Maui Jim Southern Cross MJ815 Sunglasses deliver the optical clarity and color enhancement that have made Maui Jim a favorite among anglers, boaters, and outdoor enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on vision quality. Named after the constellation that early Polynesian navigators used to find the Hawaiian Islands, these wrap-style sunglasses combine performance-grade materials with a design that stays comfortable from sunrise to sunset.
The Southern Cross features a triple-injected nylon frame that balances toughness with all-day wearability. This construction method creates a frame that can handle being tossed in a tackle box or dropped on a boat deck without cracking, yet remains light enough to prevent pressure points behind your ears during extended wear. The wrap-around design blocks peripheral light and glare—a real advantage if you spend hours on the water or driving in bright conditions. Embedded rubber nose pads on the saddle-style bridge keep the frames secure and comfortable, even when you’re sweating or moving around.
Every pair ships with Maui Jim’s patented PolarizedPlus2 lens technology, which does more than just darken your view. The lenses eliminate 99.9% of glare while using a blend of rare earth elements to boost reds, greens, and blues—colors that matter when you’re reading water, navigating trails, or simply enjoying a drive. Available lens options include Neutral Grey for bright sunlight, HCL Bronze for everyday variable conditions, MauiGreen, and Blue Hawaii, all in SuperThin Glass that’s 32% thinner and lighter than standard glass while offering superior scratch resistance and the crispest optics available. An anti-reflective coating on the back surface eliminates bounce-back glare, and an oleophobic treatment sheds water, sweat, and fingerprints. All lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays and are recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

The MJ815 is available with prescription lenses through authorized Maui Jim optical retailers, so you can get the same PolarizedPlus2 performance tailored to your vision needs. The rectangular frame shape complements oval, round, square, and heart-shaped faces, and the unisex design works equally well for men and women. With a 63mm lens width, 17mm bridge, and 120mm temples, the Southern Cross offers a large fit that provides excellent coverage without feeling bulky.
Whether you’re fishing, boating, driving, or just looking for sunglasses that reveal the world in vivid, glare-free color, the Maui Jim Southern Cross MJ815 is a serious tool for serious sun.
