FAQs

What does 'polarized' mean for sunglass lenses?

Polarized lenses reduce glare reflected off surfaces like water, snow, and roads. This provides clearer vision, better contrast, and reduces eye fatigue compared to non-polarized lenses.

What is UV400 protection?

UV400 protection means the lenses block almost 100% of harmful ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) rays, offering maximum protection for your eyes.

Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?

Yes, the polarized lenses are excellent for driving as they significantly reduce glare from the road and other vehicles, improving visibility and safety.

What does 'Category 3 filter' mean?

A Category 3 filter indicates dark lenses that absorb 82-92% of sunlight, making them suitable for bright outdoor conditions and general use in strong sunlight.

What materials are the frame and lenses made of?

The frame is made of durable, nickel-free stainless steel, and the lenses are crafted from polarized bio-tac material. The temple sleeves are made of flexible TR90 nylon.

How do I clean and care for my Hawkers Aura sunglasses?

Clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth and store in the provided microfiber box to protect them from scratches.

Are these sunglasses truly unisex?

Yes, they are designed as a unisex model with medium frame dimensions intended to fit a wide range of adult face shapes and sizes.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear too dark for indoor or low-light conditions.

These sunglasses feature a Category 3 filter, optimized for bright sunlight. For low-light conditions, consider removing them or using a lighter-tinted pair of eyewear.

Frame feels loose or tight.

The TR90 temple sleeves offer some flexibility. If the fit is significantly off, consult an optician for minor adjustments. Avoid forcing the frame, as this can cause damage.

Nose pads cause discomfort or leave marks.

Ensure the non-slip silicone nose pads are clean. If discomfort persists, a professional optician may be able to fit alternative nose pads.

Sunglasses are smudged or dirty.

Gently clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth. For persistent smudges, use a dedicated lens cleaner and a clean microfiber cloth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to clean the lenses. For stubborn smudges, you can use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear. Avoid using abrasive materials or household cleaners, as they can damage the lens coating.
  2. Frame Care: Wipe the frame gently with a damp cloth. Dry immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid exposure to extreme heat, which can warp the frame.
  3. Storage: Store your sunglasses in the provided microfiber box and lid when not in use to protect them from scratches and dust. Ensure they are clean before storing.
  4. Handling: Always handle sunglasses by holding the frame, not the lenses, to avoid fingerprints and potential damage.
