FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?

Yes, the polarized lenses significantly reduce glare from the road, making them excellent for driving in sunny conditions.

What does 'Category 3 filter' mean?

A Category 3 filter absorbs 82-92% of visible light and is suitable for strong sunlight conditions outdoors.

How do I clean the polarized lenses without damaging them?

Use a microfiber cloth. For tougher dirt, rinse with cool water and a tiny amount of mild soap, then dry with the microfiber cloth.

Are these sunglasses suitable for sports?

Their secure fit and glare reduction make them suitable for many outdoor activities. However, for high-impact sports, consider specialized eyewear.

What is the frame made of?

The frame is a combination of durable TR90 material and nickel-free stainless steel for the rims, offering both flexibility and corrosion resistance.

Can I replace the lenses if they get scratched?

This model is not designed for user-replaceable lenses. For significant scratches, replacement of the sunglasses may be necessary.

What are the dimensions of the sunglasses?

The dimensions are: Front 142 mm; Temple 145 mm; Bridge 18 mm; Height 43.4 mm.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear smudged or dirty

Clean the lenses using a microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, rinse with cool water and a mild soap before drying gently.

Sunglasses feel loose or slip down

Adjust the silicone nose pads for a more secure fit. If the temples feel too wide, professional adjustment may be needed.

Reduced visibility in low light

The Category 3 filter is designed for bright sunlight. For overcast or low-light conditions, consider alternative eyewear with a lighter tint.

Frame feels stiff or inflexible

While TR90 offers flexibility, avoid excessive force. If stiffness persists, check for any obstructions or damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sunglasses require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Their unisex design makes them compatible with most adult head shapes. To ensure longevity and maintain optical clarity:

  1. Cleaning: Use the provided microfiber cloth or another soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the lenses. Avoid using paper towels or rough fabrics, which can scratch the lens surface.
  2. Washing: If lenses are very dirty, rinse them with cool water and use a mild, non-abrasive soap. Dry thoroughly with a microfiber cloth.
  3. Storage: Store the sunglasses in the included microfiber box when not in use to protect them from scratches and damage.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not expose the sunglasses to solvents, detergents, or other chemicals, as they can damage the frame and lens coatings.
