The Maverick takes its name from the legendary big-wave surf break that defined a generation of risk-takers in the 1960s. The idea is simple: the grain of the wood does the design work. Because each veneer is cut from natural hardwood, every frame carries its own pattern — the same way no two waves ever break identically. In vintage brown, the warm tones of the wood come through clearly, giving the frame a character that no injection-moulded acetate can replicate.
The construction is the thing worth understanding here. Bear Essentials combines sustainably sourced high-grade hardwood veneer with thin layers of aluminium, which is what gives the frame its structural integrity without adding weight. More than 65 individual steps go into each pair by hand — which is why the brand can back every frame with a lifetime warranty. That is not a marketing gesture; it reflects genuine confidence in how these are made.
The lenses are polarised with UV 400 protection, which means they cut glare on bright days rather than simply darkening the view. That distinction matters if you are wearing them on water, snow, or anywhere the light bounces off a flat surface.
The frame suits a wide range of face shapes — heart, oval, square, rectangle, diamond, and round — making it one of the more versatile styles in the Bear Essentials range.
Packaging: The frames arrive in a protective cork casing that folds flat into a bag or back pocket. Cork is a natural, renewable material and a considered choice over synthetic cases — it also makes the whole thing a genuinely usable gift.
Sustainability: For every purchase made, Bear Essentials plants one tree in areas of deforestation, using only native species. The brand was built from a family home workshop and has kept handcrafting at the centre of production rather than scaling to factory output.
Face shapes suited: Heart, Oval, Square, Rectangle, Diamond, Round
Warranty: Lifetime warranty included with every frame.
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.
