FAQs

What does 'Category 3 filter' mean?

A Category 3 filter indicates that the lenses absorb 82-92% of visible light. This makes them suitable for bright sunlight conditions, offering good protection against glare and intense light.

Are the lenses polarized?

The product description does not specify polarization. These lenses feature a dark gradient tint and offer 100% UV protection.

What is TR18 material?

TR18 is a material used for lenses that offers excellent optical quality, high durability, and is environmentally friendly. It ensures clear vision and resistance to impact.

Can I replace the lenses if they get damaged?

These sunglasses are not designed for interchangeable lenses. If the lenses are significantly damaged, it is generally not possible to replace them. It is best to handle the sunglasses with care to prevent damage.

What is the color of the frame and lenses?

The frame and temples are green, and the lenses have a gradient grey appearance.

Are these sunglasses suitable for sports?

While durable, their primary design is for style and sun protection during everyday activities and driving. For high-impact sports, specialized eyewear may be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

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

These sunglasses are designed for bright, sunny conditions. For variable or low light, consider using them only when outdoors in full sun or switching to a lighter-tinted pair.

Frames feel slightly loose or tight.

Most HAWKERS frames are designed to be slightly adjustable. A professional optician can often make minor adjustments for a custom fit. Avoid attempting to adjust them yourself significantly, as this may damage the frame.

Scratches on the lenses.

TR18 lenses are durable but can still be scratched by abrasive materials. If minor scratches occur, use a lens repair kit designed for sunglasses. For significant damage, lens replacement may be necessary, though this is often not feasible for non-prescription sunglasses. Handle with care to prevent future scratches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

These sunglasses require no setup; they are ready to wear upon purchase. They are compatible with most adult head sizes due to their unisex design. To maintain the clarity and longevity of your sunglasses:

  • Cleaning Lenses: Use a microfiber cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lenses. Avoid abrasive materials or paper towels, which can scratch the TR18 lenses.
  • Storage: Store your sunglasses in the provided case or a protective pouch when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not expose the sunglasses to solvents, detergents, or other chemicals, as these can damage the frame and lens coatings.
  • Temperature: Avoid leaving your sunglasses in high-temperature environments, such as a car dashboard on a hot day, as excessive heat can warp the frame.
