MORNING STAR Polarized Fishing Sunglasses
Built for anglers who are on the water before first light, the Hook Optics MORNING STAR combines glass-like optical clarity with an ultra-lightweight aerospace-grade nylon frame made in the USA.
Designed for a comfortable medium unisex fit, MORNING STAR features Hydroo polarized lenses that deliver glass-like optical 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 MORNING STAR frame is made in the USA, and each pair is assembled in Ocean City, Maryland, home of the White Marlin Open.
DESIGNED BY OPTICIANS WHO FISH
Hook Optics is an independent, family-owned eyewear company backed by more than 40 years of professional optical experience.
We don't start with fashion and add polarization. We start with vision.
Our experience with lenses, frame fit and optics is combined with real time on the water and feedback from captains and anglers who depend on clear vision every day.
Designed by opticians. Tested on the water. Built to help you see more.
BUILT FOR THE FIRST LIGHT
MORNING STAR was inspired by Captain Monty Hawkins and his legendary Ocean City head boat, the Morning Star.
Captain Monty's years on the water and commitment to marine habitat helped shape this frame's story. His experience battling intense afternoon glare also helped inspire Hook Optics High Noon, our darkest polarized Hydroo lens.
MORNING STAR honors anglers who understand that enjoying the ocean also means protecting it for the next generation.
