Product Information
Full details
The Hawkers Astro - Black sunglasses are designed for adults who value a bold, underground-inspired aesthetic combined with modern sustainable construction. These unisex glasses offer a distinct curved flat-top design, providing a sharp look that fits various face shapes, with the key benefit of high-performance UV protection in a lightweight, eco-friendly package. One important caveat to note is that the category 3 lens rating is optimized for bright, full-sun conditions, which may make them less ideal for low-light or overcast environments.

FAQs
Are these sunglasses polarized?
The Hawkers Astro series features Category 3 lenses focused on UV protection and light absorption; check specific product packaging for polarization status as it varies by regional sub-model.
Can I put prescription lenses in these frames?
Due to the unique curved flat-top design and the material construction, it is recommended to consult with a local optical shop to see if they can accommodate custom lenses for this specific frame.
What does Category 3 lens mean?
Category 3 lenses are standard for high-sun exposure, absorbing between 82% and 92% of visible light, making them perfect for outdoor activities on bright days.
Are the materials eco-friendly?
Yes, these glasses use Tritan Renew for the frame front and lenses, which is a sustainable material, and the temples are crafted from ECO acetate.
Are these suitable for children?
No, this model is designed specifically for an adult fit.
How should I store them?
Store them in a hard-shell case to prevent pressure damage to the flat-top frame and scratching of the lenses.
Troubleshooting
Temples feel too loose or tight
Acetate frames can be professionally adjusted by an optician to better fit your head shape; avoid bending them yourself to prevent snapping.
Smudges that won't wipe away
Use a specialized lens cleaning spray or a very mild diluted dish soap, followed by a gentle circular motion with a clean microfiber cloth.
Slipping down the nose
Ensure the frame is clean of skin oils; if slipping persists, consider applying clear silicone adhesive nose pads for extra grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Hawkers Astro sunglasses remain in peak condition, store them in a protective case whenever they are not in use to avoid micro-scratches on the lenses. To clean, rinse the lenses under lukewarm water with a mild, pH-neutral soap to remove dust and oils. Always use a clean, microfiber cloth to gently buff the lenses dry. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive fabrics, as these can permanently scratch the protective UV coating. Keep the frames away from extreme heat sources, such as leaving them on a car dashboard, as intense heat can warp the ECO acetate temples.
