24.1g — Lightest Al-Mg Cook Shark

At 24.1g the 8790 is the lightest aluminium-magnesium Cook Shark at Jewelry Addicts. The 8038 retro round frame is lighter at 18g but uses a different (TR or Al-Mg — unconfirmed) frame. Among the confirmed Al-Mg performance frames, the 8790 at 24.1g is the minimum weight option — significantly lighter than the A666 (56g) and lighter than the driving models.

For buyers who wear sunglasses for extended outdoor periods — full days hiking, fishing, cycling — the 24.1g weight removes the frame from conscious awareness more effectively than heavier options.

9mm Bridge — Narrowest in the Range

At 9mm the 8790 has the narrowest bridge across all Cook Shark models at Jewelry Addicts — narrower than the 8699 (12mm), A666 (15mm), A571 (30mm) and A620 (20mm). A 9mm bridge fits closer-set nose bridges where wider bridges would sit too far apart on the nose. Buyers with wider nose bridges should note the 9mm may sit too close and compare with the A571’s 30mm or A666’s 15mm.

Semi-Rimless Design

The 8790 uses a semi-rimless (half-frame) construction — the frame rim runs along the top of the lens with the lower edge unrimmed. The lower lens edge sits in a groove or is held by a nylon monofilament cord rather than a metal rim. This construction:

• Reduces total frame weight
• Creates a more open lower field of vision
• Gives the frame a lighter visual character than full-rim alternatives

The curved wrap-style front provides side coverage despite the reduced frame material.

Brown Lens — Exclusive to the 8790

The brown lens (and the coffee variant) make the 8790 the only Cook Shark at Jewelry Addicts with a brown-tint polarized option outside the night-drive yellow. Brown/amber tints enhance contrast by filtering blue light selectively — similar to yellow but less extreme, appropriate for variable outdoor conditions including overcast driving, hiking and fishing where colour contrast matters alongside glare reduction.

8790 in the Complete Cook Shark Range

Choose 8790 for the lightest Al-Mg frame, narrowest 9mm bridge, brown lens option and the semi-rimless lower field of vision. Choose 8038 for the lightest overall frame at 18g in round retro style with 25mm wide bridge.
