FAQs

What kind of protection do the lenses offer?

The lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection and are Category 3, offering high protection against sun glare.

What are the sunglasses made of?

The frame is made of ultra-glossy cast resin/acetate, and the lenses are made of nylon. The core is a metal with an arrow shape.

How should I clean the lenses?

Gently wipe lenses with a microfiber cloth. For smudges, use a mild soap and water solution, then dry with the microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the fit like?

They feature a medium temple fit with integrated nose pads for everyday wear. The temple length is 145 mm.

Do these sunglasses come with a case?

Yes, the Saint Laurent SL 881 Sunglasses include a protective case.

Can the temple arms be adjusted?

The temple arms are designed for a medium fit. Minor adjustments can potentially be made by a professional optician, but significant alterations are not recommended.

Are these suitable for all lighting conditions?

The Category 3 lenses offer high protection for bright conditions. They may be too dark for very overcast or low-light environments.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel too tight or loose.

The temple length is fixed at 145 mm for a medium fit. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by a professional optician, but significant fitting issues may indicate they are not the right size for your head shape.

Lenses are smudged or dirty.

Clean the lenses using the provided microfiber cloth and mild soap solution as described in the care instructions. Ensure the cloth is clean before use.

Frame appears warped.

Avoid exposing the sunglasses to high heat. If warping has occurred due to heat, it may be difficult to fully correct without professional assistance from an optician.
