FAQs

What makes the lenses "polarized"?

Polarized lenses have a special filter that blocks intense reflected light (glare). This improves clarity, reduces eye strain, and enhances contrast, especially in bright conditions.

Are these sunglasses suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the lightweight metal frame, TR90 flexible temples, and ergonomic nose pads are designed for comfort during extended wear, especially in sunny conditions.

What does "UV400 protection" mean?

UV400 protection means the lenses block nearly 100% of harmful ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) rays, protecting your eyes from sun damage.

How should I clean the polarized lenses?

Use the provided microfiber cloth for cleaning. For tougher smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water or an eyeglass lens cleaning solution. Avoid paper towels or rough cloths.

What is the material of the frame and temples?

The frame is made of nickel-free stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. The temples are made from TR90 nylon, known for its flexibility and strength.

What is included with the purchase?

The purchase includes the Sixgon sunglasses, a microfiber cleaning case, a box, and decorative stickers.

Can I wear these sunglasses in cloudy weather?

While they offer UV protection, the Category 3 dark tint is optimized for bright sunlight. Visibility may be reduced in cloudy or low-light conditions.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or slide down the nose.

Adjust the non-slip silicone nose pads gently. If the issue persists, professional adjustment at an eyewear store might be necessary, or consider purchasing replacement nose pads.

Reduced visibility in low light conditions.

The Category 3 dark lenses are designed for bright sun. For lower light conditions, these sunglasses may not provide optimal visibility. Consider switching to lighter lenses or different eyewear for such environments.

Scratches on the lenses.

Lenses can be scratched by rough handling. Always use the microfiber cloth for cleaning and store in the protective case. Unfortunately, deep scratches may not be repairable.

Frame or temples feel stiff or inflexible.

The TR90 temples are designed for flexibility. If they feel unusually stiff, ensure they are not being forced in an unnatural direction. Avoid extreme bending.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent glare reduction and enhanced visual clarity due to polarized lenses.
  • High level of UV protection (UV400) suitable for bright conditions.
  • Durable and corrosion-resistant stainless steel frame.
  • Lightweight and flexible TR90 nylon temples for comfort.
  • Unique and stylish design combining classic and modern elements.

Cons

  • The rounded polygon rim shape might not appeal to everyone seeking a traditional aviator look.
  • Dark lens coloring may reduce visibility in lower light conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These sunglasses require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility:

  • Unisex Model: Designed to fit both men and women.
  • Face Shapes: The unique rounded polygon design generally suits most face shapes, but the fit can be personal.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Lenses: Use the provided microfiber cloth to gently clean the lenses. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can damage the lens coating.
  • Frame Care: Wipe the frame with a soft, damp cloth. For the tortoiseshell eartips, use a dry, soft cloth to maintain their polished appearance.
  • Storage: Store the sunglasses in the included microfiber case when not in use to protect them from scratches and damage.
  • Avoid Heat: Do not leave the sunglasses in hot environments (e.g., on a car dashboard) as excessive heat can damage the frame and lenses.
