FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for sports?

While durable, the Hawkers Bow - Polarized Black sunglasses are primarily designed for fashion and everyday use in bright conditions. For high-impact sports, specialized eyewear might be more appropriate.

What does 'Polarized' mean for the lenses?

Polarized lenses reduce glare reflected from surfaces like water, roads, and glass. This improves visual comfort, reduces eye strain, and enhances clarity and contrast.

What is the UV protection level?

These sunglasses offer 100% UV protection, shielding your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

How dark are the lenses?

The lenses have a Category 3 filter, meaning they are dark and suitable for full sun outdoors, absorbing 82-92% of sunlight.

What materials are the frame and lenses made of?

The frame is constructed from acetate for the front and metal for the temples and brow line. The lenses are made of polarized bio-tac material.

Can I replace the lenses?

Lens replacement is typically not offered as a standard user-serviceable part. If lenses are damaged, it may be necessary to replace the entire unit or consult with a professional.

What is the difference between these and other Hawkers Bow models?

This specific model, 'Polarized Black,' features black polarized lenses and a black acetate frame with gold metal trim. Other models in the Bow series may have different lens colors, frame materials, or color combinations.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear smudged or dirty.

Clean lenses gently with a microfiber cloth. If smudges persist, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear and wipe with a microfiber cloth.

Sunglasses feel loose on the face.

Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by a professional optician. Avoid attempting to bend the frames significantly yourself, as this can cause breakage.

Reduced visibility in low light conditions.

These sunglasses feature a Category 3 filter, which is designed for bright sunlight. For low-light conditions, it is recommended to remove the sunglasses or use eyewear with a lighter tint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent glare reduction and visual clarity due to polarized lenses.
  • High level of UV protection suitable for strong sunlight.
  • Durable construction with a mix of acetate and metal.
  • Stylish and modern take on a classic cat-eye design.
  • Comfortable for extended wear in bright conditions.

Cons

  • The gold metal trim may not align with all personal style preferences.
  • Category 3 lenses might be too dark for overcast or indoor use.
  • As a fashion accessory, the primary focus is style over specialized sports performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sunglasses require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are designed for general adult use. To maintain their performance and appearance:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the lenses with a soft, microfiber cloth. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive materials, which can scratch the lenses.
  • Storage: Store the sunglasses in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
  • Handling: Avoid placing them lens-down on surfaces. Handle them by the frame or temples.
  • Avoid Chemicals: Keep the sunglasses away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the frame and lens coatings.
