Product Information
Full details
These unisex Hawkers Waimea sunglasses are designed for adults seeking stylish eye protection with a classic squared frame. The key benefit is superior glare reduction and enhanced visual clarity thanks to polarized, mirrored blue lenses, perfect for sunny outdoor conditions. A potential caveat is that while durable, the TR90 material may require careful handling to avoid scratches on the mirrored finish. This model features polarized bio-tac lenses with 100% UV protection, a Category 3 filter, and a flexible, resistant TR90 frame.

FAQs
What does 'Polarized' mean for these sunglasses?
Polarized lenses reduce glare reflected from surfaces like water, roads, and snow, providing clearer vision and reducing eye strain. They also enhance color contrast.
What is TR90 material?
TR90 is a high-quality Swiss nylon known for its exceptional flexibility, lightness, durability, and resistance to heat and impact, making it ideal for eyewear frames.
Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?
Yes, the polarized lenses reduce glare, which is beneficial for driving. However, the Category 3 dark tint is not recommended for night driving. Always ensure your vision is adequate for driving conditions.
How do I know if the sunglasses will fit me?
These are unisex adult sunglasses with standard dimensions (Front 146mm, Temples 150mm, Bridge 18mm). The flexible TR90 frame and adjustable nose pads offer a comfortable fit for most wearers.
What is UV 400 protection?
UV 400 protection means the lenses block nearly 100% of harmful ultraviolet rays, including UVA and UVB, protecting your eyes from sun damage.
What is the filter category for these lenses?
These lenses have a Category 3 filter, which is suitable for bright sunlight outdoors and absorbs 82-92% of sunlight.
What comes with the sunglasses?
The sunglasses include a microfiber cleaning box and a lid for protection and storage.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel loose on the face.
Adjust the TR90 nose pads slightly for a snugger fit. If the temples feel loose, ensure the 3-barrel hinge is secure; professional adjustment might be needed for significant looseness.
Lenses appear smudged or dirty.
Clean the lenses using the provided microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear and a soft cloth.
Frame feels stiff or difficult to adjust.
TR90 material offers flexibility but can become stiff if exposed to extreme heat. Allow the sunglasses to return to room temperature before attempting any adjustments.
Mirrored coating shows signs of wear.
This can occur from improper cleaning or contact with abrasive materials. For minor wear, try cleaning gently. Significant wear may indicate damage to the coating and cannot be repaired; consider replacement.
