Maverick Classic Black Wood Veneer Sunglasses
Each frame takes over 65 hand-crafting steps to complete — which is why no two pairs are identical — and the sustainably sourced hardwood veneer is layered with aluminium to give them the kind of structural resilience that mass-produced acetate frames simply cannot match. Bear Essentials backs that with a lifetime warranty, which tells you everything about how confident they are in the build.

The Maverick takes its name from the legendary big-wave surf break in California, where the ocean carves formations that are never the same twice. That same logic applies to the frame: the natural grain of the hardwood veneer means every pair is genuinely individual, shaped by the material rather than a mould.
Bear Essentials builds each frame through more than 65 hand-crafting steps, combining sustainably sourced high-grade hardwood veneer with thin layers of aluminium. The result is a frame that is lightweight enough to wear all day and structurally sound enough to last — the aluminium core is what gives it the rigidity that wood alone cannot provide.
Key details:
- Material: sustainably sourced hardwood veneer with aluminium layering
- Lenses: polarised with UV 400 protection, designed to reduce glare
- Face shapes: suited to heart, oval, square, rectangle, diamond, and round
- Packaging: protective cork casing that folds flat into a bag or back pocket
- Warranty: lifetime warranty included with every frame
- For every purchase, Bear Essentials plants one tree in areas of deforestation using only native species
The polarised UV 400 lenses are the practical core of the frame — polarisation cuts reflected glare from water, snow, and road surfaces, and UV 400 means full-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB. These are not decorative lenses dressed up with technical language.
The cork casing is a considered detail: protective enough to prevent scratches, compact enough to disappear into a jacket pocket, and a natural material choice that fits the brand's broader approach to avoiding unnecessary plastic.
The Maverick is sold as a gift-ready product, and the combination of the cork case, the lifetime warranty, and the one-tree-planted commitment makes it a straightforward choice for anyone who wants to give something that holds up to scrutiny.
About Our Brand Bear Essentials
Travel accessories are often mass-produced from synthetic materials, leaving environmentally conscious explorers with limited options that align with their values. Bear Essentials addresses this by creating durable, considered products for those who wish their equipment to be as thoughtful as their journeys.
Every Bear Essentials item is handcrafted using natural materials, including wood from sustainable forestry and recycled pellets, ensuring each piece is unique. The brand prioritises natural alternatives over plastic, a practical manufacturing decision that speaks to their commitment to responsible production.
Originating from a family home workshop, Bear Essentials maintains handcrafting as central to its production, refusing to compromise craft for scale. For every purchase, a tree is planted, directly replenishing the natural resources used and closing the loop between consumption and environmental return.
