Makani Kaiwi Makai

Protect your eyes in style with the Makani polarized sustainable bamboo sunglasses by Lani Shades. Makani means wind in the Hawaiian language and the Makani style is inspired by the need for a low profile sports style frame with less wind resistance and more peripheral sun protection for sailing and other outdoor adventures in Hawaii.

Available in Iwa (black), Mauka (dark brown) and Makai (blue) durably dyed bamboo.

The Lani Shades Makani collection includes the Makani Ka'ena and Makani Kaiwi styles, distinguished by the arm styles. The Makani Kaiwi is named after the channel between the islands of O'ahu and Molokai, where the inspiration for the perfect sunglasses for sailing in Hawaii was born. The Makani Kaiwi features wider arms for extra positive buoyancy as compared to the Makani Ka'ena.

Both the Makani Ka'ena and Makani Kaiwi are medium fit. The Makani Ka'ena tends to be a slightly tighter medium fit and the Makani Kaiwi tends to be a medium/large fit. 

Since the Makani Ka'ena has slimmer arms, they are only rated to float in salt water. Please choose the Makani Kaiwi if the floating feature is important to you.

All Lani Shades bamboo and wood sunglasses feature UV400 Polarized Lani TAC scratch resistant lenses - highest quality lenses in expertly handcrafted eco friendly bamboo frames that are comfortable, lightweight and durable. The Lani Shades Makani collection are equipped with nickel bronze double spring hinges for comfort and fit. Each also comes with a sturdy bamboo tube case, microfiber cleaning cloth, pouch and worry free guarantee.

Designed by sailors in Hawaii in the search for the perfect sunglasses to have on the water. Lani Shades are a practical alternative to more plastic on the beaches and oceans that we love. Each pair sold plants a tree through our partnership with One Tree Planted and every $100 in sales pulls 1 pound of plastic from the ocean with 4 Ocean.
