FAQs

What does 'Category 3 filter' mean for these sunglasses?

A Category 3 filter is suitable for bright sunlight conditions, absorbing between 82% and 92% of visible light. It offers good protection for everyday outdoor activities but might be too dark for low-light or indoor environments.

Are the TR18 lenses polarized?

The product description specifies TR18 lenses with excellent optical quality and durability, but it does not state that they are polarized. They offer 100% UV protection.

What is the material of the frame?

The frame is made of acetate, a durable and high-quality plastic known for its ability to hold color and achieve a polished finish.

What size are the sunglasses?

The dimensions are: Front 147 mm, Temples 145 mm, Bridge 19 mm, Height 47 mm.

What is included with the purchase?

The purchase includes the original Hawkers product, a microfiber cover, and a box.

Can I wear these for sports?

While the wrap-around design offers a secure fit, they are primarily designed for fashion and general outdoor use. For intense sports, consider sunglasses specifically engineered for athletic performance and impact resistance.

How should I clean the lenses without damaging them?

Always use the provided microfiber cloth and a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or clothing, as they can scratch the lenses.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear smudged or dirty

Clean the lenses using the provided microfiber cloth and a dedicated lens cleaner. Avoid touching the lenses with your fingers.

Sunglasses feel loose or uncomfortable

Check if the temples are bent. If they are, you may need to have them adjusted by a professional. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by gently bending the temples.

Frame feels stiff or hinges are tight

Occasionally, new sunglasses can have tight hinges. Try gently opening and closing the temples a few times. If the stiffness persists, a professional adjustment might be necessary.
