FAQs
Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?
Yes, the Category 3 filter is suitable for driving in bright daylight conditions. However, always ensure your vision is not impaired by the tint in changing light.
What is TR18 lens material?
TR18 lenses are made from a material by Eastman, known for its excellent optical quality, high impact resistance, and durability, while also being environmentally friendly.
What does 'Category 3 filter' mean?
A Category 3 filter indicates that the lenses are dark and suitable for strong sunlight, absorbing 82-92% of visible light. They offer excellent UV protection but may be too dark for overcast days or indoor use.
How should I clean the mirror coating on the lenses?
Clean the mirror coating gently with the provided microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the reflective layer.
What is included in the box?
The box includes the Hawkers FASTER sunglasses, a microfiber protective cover, and the original Hawkers packaging.
Can I use these for intense sports like running or cycling?
While they are suitable for low-impact sports due to their secure fit and lightweight design, they are not specifically designed for high-impact activities where they might be subjected to excessive shock or strain.
What are the dimensions of the sunglasses?
The dimensions are: Front 142 mm, Temples 135 mm, Bridge 15 mm, and Lens Height 49.3 mm.
