The Maui Jim Ho’okipa Reader MJ807 combines premium polarized sun protection with discreet bifocal magnification, making it one of the most versatile reader sunglasses on the market. Named after the Hawaiian word for hospitality, the Ho’okipa welcomes you with exceptional comfort, crystal-clear optics, and the freedom to read menus, tie fishing knots, or check your phone outdoors without juggling multiple pairs of glasses.
Every pair features Maui Jim’s patented PolarizedPlus2 lens technology, which goes far beyond basic polarization. These lenses eliminate 99.9% of glare, block 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, and enhance color through a proprietary blend of rare earth elements that boost reds, greens, and blues. The result is vivid, saturated color with exceptional contrast and depth perception—whether you’re on the water, the golf course, or simply enjoying a sunny afternoon.
The Ho’okipa Reader is available in multiple lens options tailored to different conditions. HCL Bronze (High Contrast Lens) offers a warm tint that’s versatile in changing light, from overcast to full sun. Neutral Grey provides the highest light reduction for the richest colors and sharpest contrast in bright, direct sunlight. Maui HT (High Transmission) delivers extra contrast and color when most lenses would be too dark—ideal for early morning, late afternoon, or foggy days. Additional options include Blue Hawaii and Maui Rose, each engineered for specific activities and light conditions.
The bifocal reading insert sits discreetly in the lower portion of the lens, positioned about 8mm below eye level. This placement gives you a full range of distance vision through the upper lens while providing magnification exactly where you need it for close-up tasks. The insert is so well-integrated that most people won’t notice you’re wearing readers. Available in magnification strengths from +1.5 to +2.5 (in 0.5 increments), you can match the same power you use for your indoor reading glasses.
“This is my 6th pair of Ho’okipa Readers so if they are my 6th pair that speaks volumes.” — Tommy Bahama customer review
The Ho’okipa Reader features a semi-rimless rectangular frame made from Grilamid, a lightweight, durable polymer with extreme bending strength that retains its shape even under stress. At 64mm lens width, 17mm bridge, and 130mm temple length, the medium fit complements a wide range of face shapes. The frame includes a saddle-style bridge with adjustable, non-slip rubber nose pads for all-day comfort, plus rubber temple tips that enhance grip and stability during active pursuits.
Unlike fully rimless designs, the Ho’okipa’s semi-rimless construction provides added support and durability—a key advantage noted by customers who’ve experienced breakage with other rimless models. The frame uses anti-corrosive stainless steel pin hinges that offer lightweight strength and resist damage from saltwater and sweat, making these sunglasses ideal for fishing, boating, and other water activities.
Whether you’re reading a scorecard on the golf course, baiting a hook on your boat, or checking your dashboard while driving, the Maui Jim Ho’okipa Reader MJ807 delivers the perfect combination of sun protection, visual clarity, and reading convenience. These are prescription-ready if you need custom lenses, and every pair includes Maui Jim’s industry-leading scratch and shatter resistance.
