Since spring is here and summer’s not far away, it’s time again to spotlight one of our favorite brands of sunglasses; Maui Jim. Not only does Maui Jim make a variety of the most stylish glasses you can wear, their glasses are equipped with possibly the best sun protection technology available. MJ sunglasses have polarizedPlus2® lens technology which uses up to nine layers of protection on both sides of each lens to eliminate 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays and 99.9 percent of glare from above, below and behind each lens.
This technology has earned Maui Jim the Seal of Recommendation from The Skin Cancer Foundation. This is an endorsement of their ability to produce comfortable and aesthetically designed eyewear, while providing more sun protection than other known brands.
With the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival just around the corner, LATF USA would like to recommend several of MJ’s latest eyewear to get you through the weekend comfortably and in style. Although most styles are uni-sex, they do have styles for Men and Women.
- Cliff House – The pure titanium frame is lightweight, durable and comfortable with an anti-corrosive traditional hinge.

Hana Bay style
My personal favorite is the Frigate. I like the fact that they are lightweight and rimless, which makes them feel as if you’re not really wearing any glasses at all. The HCL Bronze lens gives you a glare reduction without being too dark. Perfect for a day at the beach or watching your favorite band at an outdoor festival. Aloha!
