The Best Gifts for Drivers

High-Tech Driving Sunglasses from Maui Jim

Is there a driver on your gift list — maybe someone with a long daily commute, a lover of road trips or a classic car connoisseur? Great vision is the key to safe driving, so give them the gift of style and safety with a pair of Maui Jim high-tech driving sunglasses. Here are five reasons why our sunglasses make one of the best gifts for drivers:

Polarization. Polarized sunglasses eliminate the glare that can make driving not just uncomfortable but also unsafe. Every pair of Maui Jim high-tech driving sunglasses eliminates glare — that means no squinting, eye fatigue, watery eyes or headaches. They also block 100% of all harmful UV rays to protect a driver’s eyes from long-term damage.
Lightweight material. Comfort AND clarity matter, especially on long drives. Consider lenses with materials like SuperThin Glass, which provides the absolute crispest optics available yet is 20-32% thinner and lighter than standard glass, or the ultra lightweight MauiPure®.
Lens protection. Driving sunglasses get dropped on the floor and shoved into glove compartments and cup holders. That’s why lens protection is important. All Maui Jim sunglasses feature a special treatment on the front and back of the lens to prevent scratches. Exclusive coatings shed water, repel grease and make smudges easy to wipe away — ensuring an unobstructed view of the road.
Versatility. Even the most committed driver doesn’t spend every moment behind the wheel. As you’re shopping for one of the best gifts for drivers, look for a pair that transitions easily from the car to the beach, golf course, hiking trail or other outdoor adventure. With nearly 150 styles available, there’s a pair to fit your favorite driver’s personality and style.
Color and mirror options. One lens doesn’t fit all. Our HCL® Bronze lenses, for example, are great for changing light conditions, while Maui Rose® provides protection in everything from full sun to overcast conditions. You can even choose fashion mirrors like Blue Hawaii, MAUI Sunrise and MAUIGreen that offer the same amount of clarity in a stylish look.
