Description
Mako Covert 9596 — G1HR6 Brown Blue Mirror HDIR Crown Glass Lens
The Covert uses an impact- and warp-resistant nylon-composite frame to combine robust outdoor function with a clean modern shape. Finished in Matte Translucent Blue, this version is built to deliver durable structure with a comfortable, polished fit.
The real difference is the G1HR6 Brown Blue Mirror HDIR Crown Glass. The brown filter enhances useful colour variation while the internal blue mirror reduces intense water glare. High Definition filtration improves colour separation and distance clarity, and the Infra-Red filter reduces heat transfer through the lens.
Choose G1HR6 for a versatile all-day glass lens that moves from shaded banks and roads to bright offshore water. In the Covert, the lens is paired with a frame designed for confident outdoor use rather than a generic one-size-fits-all story.
Why the Covert frame works
- Impact- and warp-resistant nylon composite
- Functional medium-to-large fit
- Designed for comfort as well as hard outdoor use

Mako lens technology explained
100% polarised
Polarised lenses are designed to minimise glare and soothe the eyes, helping the wearer see beyond reflections on water and windscreens.
100% UVA + UVB protection
UV-blocking lenses stop harmful UVA and UVB rays from reaching the eyes, helping protect long-term eye health.
Crown Glass
Crown glass is the industry standard used by Mako across its glass-lens range, delivering exceptional optical clarity and a clean, blemish-free view.
High Definition filter
The High Definition filter uses rare-earth elements to filter selected yellow and orange wavelengths, improving colour separation and long-distance clarity.
Infra-Red filter
The Infra-Red filter reduces heat transfer through the lens and heat build-up behind it for more comfortable wear in hard sunlight.
Protected internal mirror
The mirror layer is positioned internally, helping protect it from surface scratching while retaining the glare-control benefits of a mirrored lens.
100% Australian owned
Mako was an early Australian adopter of glass polarised lens technology and remains 100% Australian owned.
Scratch-resistant treatments help protect lenses during normal use but cannot make any lens completely scratch-proof. Always rinse away salt, sand and dust before wiping.
Product specifications
The Mako difference
Mako has developed polarised eyewear for Australian conditions for more than 25 years. Its Italian and Japanese lens program uses decentered optics engineered for 99.9% glare-free vision and true depth perception, with products tested by anglers, skippers, drivers and other outdoor professionals. Mako remains 100% Australian owned.
Care for your lenses
Rinse away salt, sand and dust with clean fresh water before wiping. Dry with a clean microfibre cloth and store the sunglasses in a protective case when they are not being worn. Avoid leaving eyewear exposed to extreme heat inside a parked vehicle.
