FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the polarized lenses reduce eye fatigue, making them comfortable for extended outdoor use in sunny conditions. The lightweight TR90 frame also contributes to comfort.

What does 'Polarized lens' mean?

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

What does 'Category 3 filter' signify?

Category 3 lenses are suitable for bright sunlight and absorb between 82% and 92% of visible light. They are ideal for outdoor activities in strong sun but may be too dark for low-light conditions.

How do I clean the mirrored blue lenses?

Use a clean microfiber cloth and a lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the mirror coating and polarization.

What is included with the sunglasses?

The sunglasses come with a branded case to protect them when not in use.

What is the frame material?

The frame is made from TR90, a durable, flexible, and lightweight nylon material.

Can these be worn by men and women?

Yes, the Slater model is designed as a unisex model with classic styling suitable for all genders.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear foggy or streaky after cleaning

Ensure you are using a clean microfiber cloth and a lens-appropriate cleaning solution. Avoid paper towels or rough fabrics. Rinse lenses with clean water before wiping.

Sunglasses feel loose or tight on the face

The temples are made of flexible TR90 material and may adjust slightly with wear. If the fit is significantly off, consult an optician for professional adjustment. Avoid forcing or bending the frame excessively.

Reduced visibility in low light conditions

The Category 3 lenses are designed for bright sunlight. For overcast or low-light conditions, consider using a separate pair of sunglasses with a lighter lens tint or remove these sunglasses.
