Full details

The Hawkers Sixgon sunglasses are designed for adults seeking a stylish and functional eyewear solution with a modern take on a classic aviator silhouette. Their key benefit lies in the polarized brown lenses, offering superior clarity, reduced glare, and eye comfort for outdoor activities. A potential caveat is their unconventional rounded polygon shape, which may not suit all face shapes or personal styles. Key features include a rose gold metallic frame, polarized bio-tac lenses with 100% UV protection, and a Category 3 filter suitable for bright sunlight.

FAQs

Are these sunglasses truly polarized?

Yes, the Hawkers Sixgon sunglasses feature polarized lenses made of bio-tac material, designed to reduce glare and enhance visual clarity.

What type of UV protection do they offer?

These sunglasses offer 100% UV protection, shielding your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.

What does 'Category 3 filter' mean?

A Category 3 filter indicates that the lenses are dark and suitable for strong sunlight outdoors, absorbing 82-92% of sunlight.

Can I wear these for sports?

While they offer good protection and clarity, their unconventional shape might not be ideal for all high-impact sports. They are excellent for driving, cycling, and general outdoor use.

How do I clean the polarized lenses without damaging them?

Use a clean microfiber cloth and a mild lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials or household cleaners, which can strip the polarization coating.

What is the frame made of?

The frame is made of metal with a rose gold finish.

Are these sunglasses suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, their stylish design and functional features make them suitable for everyday wear, especially during sunny weather.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear blurry or have streaks after cleaning.

Ensure you are using a clean microfiber cloth and appropriate lens cleaner. Avoid wiping with clothing or paper towels. Re-clean using a gentle circular motion.

Sunglasses feel loose or slide down the nose.

Check if the temples are bent. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by a professional optician or carefully at home. Ensure the eartips are clean and positioned correctly.

Frame feels uncomfortable or pinches.

The frame may not be the correct fit for your face shape. Minor adjustments might be possible, but consult a professional if discomfort persists.

Reduced visibility in low light conditions.

The Category 3 filter is designed for bright sunlight. For overcast or low-light conditions, these sunglasses may reduce visibility too much. It is recommended to remove them in such environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sunglasses require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with most adult head sizes due to their unisex design. To care for your Hawkers Sixgon sunglasses:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft microfiber cloth to clean the lenses. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, which can damage the lens coating. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be used.
  2. Storage: When not in use, store the sunglasses in a protective case to prevent scratches and damage to the frame and lenses.
  3. Handling: Avoid leaving them on surfaces where they can easily fall or get scratched. Handle them by the temples rather than the lenses.
  4. Avoid Extreme Heat: Do not leave them in hot environments, such as a car dashboard on a sunny day, as excessive heat can warp the frame and damage the lenses.
