Product Information
Full details
The Hawkers Parlay in Black is designed for style-conscious adults seeking a blend of vintage racing aesthetics and modern durability. These unisex sunglasses offer the key benefit of high-quality Eastman TR18 lenses that ensure superior optical clarity and 100% UV protection, making them ideal for casual urban wear. A notable caveat is that the category 2 lens filter is intended for moderate brightness; therefore, they may not provide sufficient glare reduction in high-intensity, direct sunlight conditions or on snow-covered terrain.

FAQs
Are these sunglasses polarized?
No, the Hawkers Parlay model uses high-quality non-polarized TR18 lenses.
Can I wear these for skiing?
No, these are category 2 lenses intended for moderate brightness and are not suitable for the high glare and intense UV light of high-altitude snow conditions.
Are the lenses replaceable?
The lenses are designed to be integrated into the frame; we do not recommend attempting to swap them yourself as it may damage the integrity of the eyewear.
How do I store them properly?
Store in a hard-shell protective case when not in use to prevent impacts and surface scratches.
What does category 2 filter mean?
It means the lenses allow 19% to 43% of visible light to pass through, making them perfect for moderate sunny days.
Are these sunglasses suitable for wide faces?
The Parlay design is generally standard-fit. We recommend reviewing the frame dimensions if you are concerned about fit, though the style is designed to be versatile.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel loose on the face
Gently apply inward pressure to the temple arms to adjust the tension or take them to a local optical shop for a professional frame adjustment.
Lenses have smudges that won't wipe off
Use a specialized lens cleaning spray and a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove oily residues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are non-prescription sunglasses, setup is as simple as adjusting the frame fit to your face. To ensure longevity, always store your Hawkers Parlay in a protective case when not in use to prevent lens scratches. To clean the TR18 lenses, use a mild soap-and-water solution or a dedicated optical lens cleaner along with a microfiber cloth. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive fabrics, as these can leave micro-scratches on the lens surface. Periodically check the hinge screws to ensure they remain snug, and avoid leaving them in high-heat environments like a hot car dashboard, which can compromise the frame integrity over time.
