ISLANDER Polarized Fishing Sunglasses

Built for life where the water meets the shore, the Hook Optics ISLANDER combines glass-like optical clarity with an ultra-lightweight aerospace-grade nylon wraparound frame made in the USA.

Designed for a comfortable small unisex fit, ISLANDER features Hydroo polarized lenses that deliver exceptional clarity without the weight or fragility of mineral glass. They are lightweight, impact resistant and safer than glass for active days on the water.

Hydroo lenses feature Hook Optics’ most advanced hydrophobic and oleophobic coating system, engineered to make water roll right off while helping repel oil, sweat, sunscreen and grime. The frame is so lightweight it floats in the ocean.

The ISLANDER frame is made in the USA, and each pair is assembled in Ocean City, Maryland, home of the White Marlin Open.

BUILT FROM DECADES OF OPTICAL EXPERIENCE

For more than 40 years, our family has worked with lenses, frame fit and the details that determine how eyewear performs.

ISLANDER applies that optical experience to a smaller performance frame designed for people who need secure coverage without an oversized fit.

Our time fishing and boating shaped the rest, creating a frame that feels light, fits properly and performs when glare gets intense.

Professional optical knowledge. Real time on the water. A better fit from the start.

BUILT FOR LIFE ON THE WATER

Some people visit the water. Others feel at home there.

ISLANDER was created for fishing, boating, exploring the coastline and long days outdoors. Its compact wraparound profile provides comfortable coverage from glare and peripheral light without overwhelming a smaller face.

Lightweight, versatile and built for movement, ISLANDER is made for people who want serious performance in a smaller frame.

Free gifts with every purchase: a protective case and an extra-large microfiber lens cloth.
