Full details

The Hawkers Warwick Black Sunglasses are designed for adults seeking classic, unisex eyewear with superior visual clarity and protection. Their key benefit is glare-free vision and enhanced contrast thanks to polarized lenses, perfect for sunny outdoor activities. A potential caveat is that their dark lenses are most effective in bright conditions, and may not be ideal for lower light. These sunglasses feature a durable acetate frame, polarized Bio-Tac lenses with 100% UV protection, and a comfortable fit.

FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the acetate frame and comfortable fit make them suitable for all-day wear, especially in sunny conditions. However, if you frequently move between bright sunlight and indoors, you might find the dark lenses reduce visibility in dimmer environments.

What does 'Category 3 filter' mean?

A Category 3 filter indicates that the lenses are dark and absorb 82-92% of sunlight, making them suitable for strong sunlight and outdoor activities. They offer good protection against glare.

How do polarized lenses differ from regular lenses?

Polarized lenses have a special filter that blocks intense reflected light (glare), providing clearer vision and reducing eye strain compared to non-polarized lenses, which only reduce light intensity.

Can I wear these while driving?

Yes, the polarized lenses are excellent for driving as they reduce glare from the road and other vehicles, enhancing contrast and visual comfort. However, be mindful of potential screen interference if your car's dashboard or GPS uses certain display technologies.

What is included with the sunglasses?

The sunglasses come with a microfiber cleaning case and a protective box, designed for storing and cleaning your eyewear.

What is the frame made of?

The frame is made of high-quality cellulose acetate, known for its durability, lightweight feel, and hypoallergenic properties.

Are these sunglasses truly unisex?

Yes, the Warwick model features a classic round design and dimensions that are intended to be flattering and functional for both men and women.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or too tight.

Adjust the temples slightly by gently bending them. For precise adjustments, consider visiting an optical professional.

Lenses appear distorted or have a rainbow effect on screens.

This is a characteristic of polarized lenses interacting with certain screen technologies. Try tilting your head or the device to find a viewing angle where the screen is clear. If this persists and is bothersome, these may not be the best sunglasses for use with those specific screens.

Frame or lenses are smudged.

Clean gently with the provided microfiber cloth. For persistent smudges, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for polarized lenses.

Scratches on lenses.

Minor scratches may not significantly impact vision, but deep scratches can be distracting. Proper storage in the case when not in use helps prevent scratches. Unfortunately, deep scratches are generally not repairable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Hawkers Warwick sunglasses require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility:

  • Lens Compatibility: The Category 3 polarized lenses are best suited for bright sunlight. They may reduce visibility in low-light conditions.
  • Screen Compatibility: Polarized lenses can sometimes cause a rainbow effect or make it difficult to see screens on certain electronic devices (e.g., phone displays, car dashboards). Test with your devices if this is a concern.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Lenses: Use the provided microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses. For tougher smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a lens cleaning solution approved for polarized lenses. Avoid using harsh chemicals, paper towels, or rough fabrics, as they can scratch the lenses.
  • Frame Care: Wipe the acetate frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid exposing the frame to excessive heat or solvents, which can damage the material.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the sunglasses in the provided microfiber case and protective box to prevent scratches and damage.
