Product Information

Full details

The Hawkers Metro Sunglasses are designed for adults seeking a bold, utilitarian aesthetic that merges high-fashion super-shield silhouettes with everyday durability. Featuring a striking, slightly oversized mask lens design, these unisex shades provide excellent coverage and 100% UV protection, making them ideal for urban settings or bright outdoor environments. While the sleek black aesthetic offers a versatile, cohesive look, users should be aware that the oversized, mask-style lens can feel more substantial and heavier than traditional rimmed eyewear.

FAQs

Are these sunglasses polarized?

No, the Hawkers Metro series features standard Category 3 lenses without polarization technology.

What does Category 3 filter mean?

Category 3 is an industry-standard lens rating that absorbs 82-92% of light, providing a high level of glare reduction suitable for bright, sunny conditions.

Are these frames adjustable?

The Hawkers Metro frames are designed for a fixed, consistent fit and are not intended for structural heat-adjusting.

Can I replace the lenses?

The Metro model features a custom mask-lens design that is not intended for user-swappable replacement lenses.

Do these provide full UV protection?

Yes, these lenses are rated for 100% UV protection, guarding your eyes against both UVA and UVB rays.

Are they suitable for driving?

Yes, Category 3 lenses are generally acceptable for driving during daylight hours in bright conditions, though they are not recommended for night or low-light driving.

Troubleshooting

Lens is smudged or blurry

Clean gently with the provided microfiber cloth. If stubborn residue exists, use a tiny drop of mild, neutral pH dish soap with water and pat dry with a clean cloth.

Frame feels slightly loose or misaligned

Check if the temple screws have loosened over time and tighten them gently with a small precision screwdriver.

Lens fogging up

Ensure the glasses are positioned slightly further from the bridge of the nose to allow for better airflow behind the mask lens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the Hawkers Metro sunglasses are a fixed-frame design, no initial setup is required. To maintain the integrity of the mask lens and the frame finish, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Daily Cleaning: Use only the provided microfiber cloth to remove smudges. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive fabrics that can micro-scratch the lens surface.
  2. Storage: Always store the glasses inside the provided microfiber cover and box when not in use to prevent lens scratches and frame pressure damage.
  3. Avoid Chemicals: Keep lenses away from household cleaners, perfumes, or hairspray, as these can strip the UV-protective coating.
  4. Heat Warning: Never leave the sunglasses inside a parked car in high temperatures, as intense heat can warp the frame or damage the lens coating.
