Product Information

Full details

The Hawkers Lax polarized sunglasses are designed for adults seeking a stylish and functional accessory for everyday wear. Offering superior glare reduction and UV protection, they enhance visual clarity in bright conditions. A potential caveat is that while polarized, they are not non-polarized, meaning they reduce reflections but may not eliminate all glare for specific activities. Key features include a classic aviator design, polarized bio tac lenses, and durable stainless steel frames.

FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?

The polarized Category 3 lenses are excellent for reducing glare during daytime driving. However, they are not recommended for night driving or driving in very low light conditions due to their dark tint.

What is the main benefit of polarized lenses?

Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water, roads, and snow. This improves visual clarity, reduces eye strain, and enhances contrast, making the world appear sharper and more vibrant.

What materials are the frames made from?

The frames are made from nickel-free stainless steel, which offers high resistance to corrosion and greater durability compared to standard metal.

What does 'Category 3 filter' mean?

A Category 3 filter indicates that the lenses provide a high level of sun glare reduction, absorbing between 82% and 92% of sunlight. They are suitable for bright sunlight conditions outdoors.

Do these sunglasses offer UV protection?

Yes, the sunglasses provide 100% UV400 protection, safeguarding your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

What accessories are included with the sunglasses?

The sunglasses come with a personalized microfiber cleaning case, a personalized branded box, and a set of decorative stickers.

How should I clean my sunglasses?

Always use the provided microfiber cloth for cleaning. For stubborn dirt, rinse with water and mild soap, then dry with the cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or tight on the face

Adjust the silicone nose pads for a more customized fit. If the temples are too tight or loose, consult a professional optician for minor adjustments, as metal frames can be carefully bent.

Lenses are smudged or dirty

Use the provided microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses. If smudges persist, rinse the lenses with cool water and mild soap, then dry with the microfiber cloth.

Frame shows signs of corrosion

Ensure the frame is kept clean and dry. While stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to salt water or harsh chemicals without cleaning can still cause damage. Clean thoroughly with a damp cloth if corrosion is suspected.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These are unisex sunglasses designed to fit most adult facial structures. The aviator style is generally considered universally flattering.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Lenses: Gently wipe the lenses with the provided microfiber cloth. For tougher smudges, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for sunglasses and wipe with a clean microfiber cloth. Avoid using paper towels or rough fabrics, which can scratch the lenses.
  2. Frame Care: Clean the frame with a soft, damp cloth. For the stainless steel parts, avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the silicone nose pads remain clean for optimal comfort and grip.
  3. Storage: When not in use, store the sunglasses in the included personalized microfiber case to protect them from scratches and dust. Keep them in their original box for added protection.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not expose the sunglasses to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or cosmetics, as these can damage the frame or lens coatings.
