FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for all light conditions?

These are Category 3 lenses, ideal for bright sunlight and general outdoor use. They offer superior glare reduction. For very low light conditions, lighter or non-polarized lenses might be preferred.

What does UV400 protection mean?

UV400 protection means the lenses block approximately 100% of harmful UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays, protecting your eyes from sun damage.

How do I clean the polarized lenses without damaging them?

Use the provided microfiber cloth or a clean, soft cloth. For dirt or smudges, use a mild soap solution (like dish soap) and lukewarm water, then rinse and dry with a microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or chemical cleaners.

What is TR90 material used for the temples?

TR90 is a high-quality nylon known for its exceptional flexibility, light weight, and durability, making the temples comfortable and resistant to bending or breaking.

What accessories are included with the sunglasses?

The sunglasses come with a microfiber cover, a personalized box, and a set of decorative stickers.

Can the nose pads be adjusted?

Yes, the sunglasses feature anti-slip, anti-allergy silicon nose pads that can be gently adjusted to improve comfort and fit on your nose.

Are these sunglasses truly unisex?

Yes, they are designed with a classic aviator style and measurements that generally suit most adult face shapes, making them suitable for both men and women.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear foggy.

This can occur due to humidity or temperature changes. Gently clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth. Ensure the sunglasses are stored properly when not in use.

Sunglasses feel loose or unstable.

Check the fit of the nose pads and temples. The silicon nose pads can be adjusted slightly for a better grip. If the temples feel too loose, professional adjustment might be needed.

Reduced glare protection.

Ensure the lenses are clean. Polarized lenses are most effective when light reflects off horizontal surfaces; their effectiveness may vary depending on the light source and angle.

Frame feels stiff.

The TR90 material is designed for flexibility and resistance. If the frame feels unusually stiff, ensure it has not been exposed to extreme temperatures or excessive force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These sunglasses require no setup; they are ready to wear upon arrival. Ensure they fit comfortably before use.

Compatibility: Designed as unisex eyewear, they are suitable for most adult head shapes. The frame measurements (Front 140 mm, Height 51 mm, Temples 140 mm, Bridge 19 mm, Lens diameter 57 mm) can be compared to existing eyewear for a better fit assessment.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your sunglasses:

  1. Cleaning: Use the included microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses. For tougher smudges, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear and a clean microfiber cloth. Avoid using household cleaners, as they can damage lens coatings.
  2. Storage: When not in use, store the sunglasses in the provided protective case to prevent scratches and damage. Keep them away from extreme heat.
  3. Handling: Avoid placing the sunglasses lens-down on surfaces. Handle them by the temples or bridge.
