The Banyans Asian Fit model from Maui Jim is a rimless (or semi-rimless) sport-lifestyle sunglass designed for high-performance outdoor use. The “Asian Fit” version means the shape and bridge are optimized for wider bridges and higher cheekbones (commonly labelled as a more comfortable “Asian Fit” or “Universal Fit” style).
It uses Maui Jim’s advanced lens and frame technology to deliver lightweight comfort, high clarity and strong glare protection.
