FAQs

Are these sunglasses polarized?

No, the Hawkers Citylife sunglasses feature non-polarized lenses with UV400 protection.

What materials are the frames made from?

The frames are constructed from a combination of durable, nickel-free stainless steel and flexible TR90 nylon.

What kind of UV protection do the lenses offer?

The lenses provide Category 3 protection with UV400, effectively blocking 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Do these sunglasses come with a case?

Yes, they include a microfiber cover, a protective box, and a set of decorative stickers.

What is the 'shape-in-shape' rim design?

This refers to the unique aesthetic where a stainless steel rim is embedded with a circular TR90 rim, adding visual depth to the frame front.

Are these suitable for driving?

The UV400 protection is beneficial for driving. However, non-polarized lenses may not be ideal for conditions with significant glare from wet roads or dashboards.

How do I clean the nose pads?

The silicon nose pads can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth or mild soap and water. Ensure they are dried thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose on the face.

Check if the temple arms need slight adjustment. The 3-barrel hinge allows for controlled tension. If issues persist, consult a professional optician for fitting.

Lenses fog up in humid conditions.

This is common with many eyewear types. Ensure a good fit around the nose and consider anti-fog wipes specifically designed for lenses, though these are not integrated features.

Frame feels stiff or uncomfortable.

The TR90 temples offer flexibility. Ensure the sunglasses are the correct size for your face. The ergonomic design should provide comfort; if not, they may not be the best fit for your facial structure.

Scratches appear on lenses.

Handle with care and always store in the provided case. Minor surface scratches may occur with regular use; avoid contact with sharp objects or abrasive surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sunglasses require no setup as they are ready to wear upon arrival. Their unisex design makes them compatible with a wide range of face shapes and styles. To maintain their condition and ensure longevity:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the lenses with the included microfiber cloth. For tougher smudges, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and dry with the cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or chemical cleaners that can damage lens coatings.
  • Storage: Always store your sunglasses in the provided microfiber pouch case and box when not in use to protect them from scratches and dust.
  • Handling: Avoid placing them lens-down on surfaces. The stainless steel and nylon frame is durable, but care should always be taken.
  • Adjustments: The silicon nose pads are designed for comfort and grip; avoid excessive force if attempting to adjust them.
