FAQs

What does 'Polarized lens: Reduces surface reflections and eye fatigue' mean?

Polarized lenses have a special filter that blocks intense reflected light (glare). This makes vision clearer, reduces eye strain, and improves contrast, especially on sunny days around water or reflective surfaces.

What is Category 3 filter suitability?

Category 3 filters are suitable for bright sunlight outdoors. They absorb 82-92% of sunlight, providing good protection for most sunny conditions but may be too dark for very low light or cloudy weather.

What materials are the frame and lenses made of?

The frame is made of TR90, a durable and lightweight plastic. The specific lens material is not detailed but features a red mirror finish and polarization.

Are these sunglasses suitable for all sports?

They are designed as a hybrid for casual and sporty use, offering good grip and panoramic vision. For extremely high-impact sports where lens protection is paramount, fully-rimmed or specifically certified sports eyewear might be a better choice.

What comes in the box?

The box includes the sunglasses, a microfiber cover for protection and cleaning, and the product box.

How do I clean the rubberized parts?

You can gently wipe the rubberized temple tips and nose pads with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure they are dry afterwards for optimal grip.

Can I change the lenses to a different tint?

The product description does not specify if the lenses are interchangeable. Typically, semi-rimless mask styles may not have easily replaceable lenses.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose during activity

Ensure the rubberized temple tips and nose pads are clean and dry for maximum grip. If still loose, consider a professional fitting or alternative eyewear designed for extreme sports.

Reduced visibility in low light

These are Category 3 sunglasses, best suited for bright sunlight. For overcast or low-light conditions, it is recommended to switch to lighter-tinted or clear lenses if available for the model, or use a different pair of eyewear.

Lenses appear smudged or dirty

Use the provided microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses. For persistent smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a lens-specific cleaning solution.
