The Maui Jim Byron Bay MJ746 sunglasses are built for adventure. Named after the iconic Australian coastal town, this wrap-style frame delivers serious performance in intense sun and high-glare environments. The lightweight injected nylon frame features a modified rectangular shape with a subtle wrap for added coverage, while embedded rubber nose pads and spring hinges keep the fit secure and comfortable during active wear.
Every Byron Bay frame comes equipped with Maui Jim’s patented PolarizedPlus2 lens technology—a multi-layer system that does far more than darken your view. The lenses eliminate 99.9% of glare, block 100% of harmful UV rays, and manage high-energy visible (HEV) blue light. What sets them apart is a proprietary blend of three rare earth elements that enhance red, green, and blue wavelengths, revealing colors in vivid, true-to-life detail. The result is sharper contrast, better depth perception, and reduced eye fatigue, even after hours in bright conditions.
The Neutral Grey lens option offers the highest available light reduction for rich color and sharp contrast in direct sunlight, while the HCL Bronze lens provides a warm tint that’s versatile across changing light. Both lens colors are available with SuperThin Glass as an upgrade—Maui Jim’s premium lens material that’s 20-32% thinner and lighter than standard glass, with the absolute crispest optics and best scratch resistance available. An oleophobic coating on both sides of the lens repels water, oil, and debris, making cleanup easy after saltwater spray or sunscreen.
The Byron Bay is sized for medium to large face shapes (62mm lens width, 19mm bridge, 125mm temple length), with generous width and a saddle-style bridge that distributes weight evenly. The rubber temple tips and non-slip nose pads ensure the frames stay put during movement. Customers consistently note the secure, no-slip fit—one reviewer on Zappos said the wrap design and large lenses “suit my head size just right.”
The Byron Bay is prescription-ready, and Maui Jim also offers the frame with bifocal readers in 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 magnifications. All lenses feature anti-reflective coating on the backside to eliminate bounce-back glare. The frames are saltwater-safe and corrosion-resistant, backed by Maui Jim’s 2-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
