Why should I wear sunglasses even when it's cloudy outside?

Most people think sunglasses are only for bright, sunny days. The truth? Up to 80% of UV rays cut through clouds, and they reflect off water, sand, and pavement. That invisible radiation doesn’t take a day off—and neither should your sunglasses.

Protect Your Vision Every Day

Unprotected eyes are at risk for cataracts, macular degeneration, and even skin cancers around the eyelids. That’s why at Hook Optics, every frame comes with Hydroo Polarized Zeiss lenses, delivering HD clarity, glare reduction, and 100% UVA/UVB protection in all conditions.

Copper Lenses: The Edge on Cloudy Days

On overcast mornings or when the light is constantly shifting, our Copper Hydroo lenses shine. This lens tint enhances contrast, sharpens definition, and cuts glare better than any other—letting you see fish, structure, and subtle water movement when others can’t. If you’re fishing, boating, or even driving, copper is the lens color that keeps you locked in when the sky turns gray.

Built to Handle More Than Sun

Our frames aren’t just tough, we are now making some here in the the USA! Designed to float in saltwater!  They’re built for anglers, boaters, and adventurers who demand performance in every environment.

Performance is only half the story. Meet The Pescadora—our newest fashion-forward frame created specifically for lady anglers. Inspired by women who fish and designed for all-day wear, it delivers the protection serious anglers demand while ensuring you look fabulous both offshore and onshore—from the marina to the winner’s circle to dinner on the dock.

Your Everyday Armor

Think of Hook Optics sunglasses as everyday armor for your eyes. Cloudy skies don’t block UV rays. Reflections don’t stop at the shoreline. That’s why your vision deserves eyewear that performs 365 days a year, with clarity, comfort, and protection you can count on.

At Hook Optics, we don’t just make sunglasses. We make the gear you trust when the weather shifts, the seas get rough, and your eyes can’t afford a break.
