Product Information
Full details
The Hawkers One Uptown sunglasses are designed for adults seeking a stylish and protective eyewear option with a unique aesthetic. Their key benefit lies in offering superior acetate construction and distinctive gradient lenses that provide excellent optical quality and full UV protection. A potential consideration is that Category 2 lenses, while offering anti-glare, may not be ideal for extremely bright, direct sunlight compared to Category 3.

FAQs
Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?
Yes, the Category 2 lenses offer good anti-glare protection and clarity, making them suitable for driving in most daylight conditions. However, for very bright or specific conditions, always ensure your vision is not compromised.
What does 'gradient lenses' mean?
Gradient lenses are darker at the top and fade to lighter or clear at the bottom. This provides sun protection for your eyes while allowing you to see clearly through the lower part, which is useful for reading or looking down.
How do I know if the size is right for me?
The dimensions provided (Front 144.3 mm; Branches 145 mm; Bridge 24 mm; Glass diameter 49 mm) offer a guide. These are standard adult unisex dimensions. For a precise fit, compare these measurements to a pair of sunglasses that fit you well.
What is the difference between Category 2 and Category 3 lenses?
Category 2 lenses absorb 57-81% of sunlight and are good for general use. Category 3 lenses absorb 82-92% and are darker, providing better protection in strong sunlight. The One Uptown uses Category 2, offering good all-around protection and visual comfort.
Are the lenses replaceable?
While the lenses are made for durability, they are not typically designed for easy user replacement. For damaged lenses, it is best to contact Hawkers customer support.
What comes with the sunglasses?
The sunglasses include a recycled and recyclable cardboard box, stickers, and a microfiber chamois cleaning cloth.
How durable is the acetate material?
Cellulose acetate is a high-quality plastic known for its strength, lightness, and durability. It is resistant to scratching and color fading, making it a premium choice for eyewear frames.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the temple arms slightly. For minor adjustments, the acetate material can be gently bent. Ensure the silicone sleeves are properly positioned for comfort.
Lenses have smudges or streaks after cleaning
Ensure you are using a clean microfiber cloth and a minimal amount of water or neutral soap. Rinse thoroughly if soap is used and dry completely with the cloth. Avoid paper towels or clothing, which can scratch.
Frame feels uncomfortable or causes pressure points
Check the position of the acetate inserts and silicone sleeves. If pressure persists, consider a professional fitting or consult the Hawkers customer service for potential adjustments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These sunglasses require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed as a unisex model, they are compatible with most adult head sizes.
Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your Hawkers One Uptown sunglasses:
- Cleaning: Use the provided microfiber chamois cloth to gently clean the lenses. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of neutral soap and water, then rinse and dry with the cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they can damage the lens coatings.
- Storage: Store your sunglasses in the included recycled and recyclable cardboard box when not in use. This protects them from scratches and dust.
- Handling: Avoid leaving sunglasses in hot environments (like a car dashboard) as high temperatures can damage the frame and lenses. Handle them by the temples rather than placing them lens-down.
