Maui Jim Kaupo Gap Aviator Sunglasses - Bronze lenses with Brown frame

My favorite sunglasses! It comfortably wraps around behind my ears (my head is extra wide!) and allows me to wear it all day long. One suggestion would be to increase the nose pads for those of us with flat bridges.

My husband bought the exact pair in Maui 2 two yrs ago. This past winter break in Mexico they slipped off while he was under water and our daughter stepped on them. They bent and scratched. So I surprised him with a new pair. These are his absolute favorite pair of glasses.

Very lightweight. Doesn't feel tight enough on head.

The lenses are, of course, the best on the market. This pair is lightweight, stylish and the adjustable nose piece is a must-have for a someone who sweats profusely, as it keeps them perfectly in place.

The Kaupo Gap is a sporty and stylish aviator model. It is incredibly lightweight and flexible, and if you expect the classic metal frame glass-lens aviator, this is not the model for you. However, if you intend to wear it for hours and do sports, this might just be the model for you - it works well for everyday wear, too. The Kaupo Gap comes with a base curve 6 wrap, and if you are a full-wrap base curve 8 snob like me... you may have reservations. But... I was pleasantly surprised to see the amount of wrap this model provides. In fact, if you are familiar with the Castles (which is a base curve 8 and provides noticeably more side coverage than other aviators), the Kaupo Gap has almost identical wrap due to the frame construction. If you compare it to a model such as the Ho'okipa (which is a PROPER base curve 8 wrap), you notice a difference in the side coverage the Kaupo Gap offers to the Ho'okipa. However, I was really impressed with the Kaupo Gap's side coverage, its feel and, of course, the lenses (but you already knew that!). I have included pictures for comparison to the Castles (STG neutral grey) and Ho'okipa XL (Maui Pure Lava red) for size and wrap (for those interested). Kaupo Gap comes in the Maui Brilliant lens type. Weight comparison: Castles 36g, Ho'okipa XL 20g, Kaupo Gap 19g. To note: I have a medium head size. Both the Castles and Kaupo Gap fit me well, and aesthetically, I like bigger sunglasses. While I like the look of the Ho'okipa XL on me, it is just a bit too big for me and feels slightly loose. I truly hope this review helps someone make an informed decision (as far as online shopping goes!).

My husband’s favorite glasses!! This is his second pair… a total win!

2nd pair! Love them…. Surprised they not more 🤑…..

I have several pairs of Maui Jim’s and these are my favorite. They are lightweight

Service was outstanding. Thank you for understanding my dilemma. I and all of my family have Mauijim’s a will continue to use your wonderful products Thanks for all you’re help. Greatly appreciated Ken

Comfortable and durable. Had them for months and they are great.

Nice, Light weight glasses. Typical Maui Jim quality lenses.

I have worn all different brands of sunglasses that I will not mention because they did well for many years serving the purpose and the look that I wanted, but when I tried these glasses on and felt how lite and very ear friendly I had to have a pair.

These glasses so light and comfortable, I hardly know they are on. I have eight pairs of Maui Jim’s and these are in the top three

They fit perfect and great looking. I only wear Maui Jim sunglasses.

I’ve been buying Maui Jim sunglasses, exclusively, since 1983 when I bought my first pair. No other sunglasses brand comes close! If your considering Maui Jim, BUY THEM, you won’t be disappointed!

Beautiful and very light frame and the glass just amazing. Best sunglasses ever.

I like the look and feel. They are a little more loose than I usually get, but after I wore them, they are fine.

Good sunglasses but unfortunately they scratch WAY TO EASY. had them only for a few weeks before a minor drop caused them to scratch significantly. I have owned lots of pairs of sunglasses from numerous companies and have never had a lens scratch this easy. Was a huge Maui Jim supporter until I bought this pair. Wish I wasn't having to write this review but thought others should know

Absolutely terrific fit and they are light as a feather! Perfect for wearing around and workouts!

Great light weight, mid tint, good looking pair of sunglasses.
