Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these sunglasses suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the lightweight TR90 frame and secure grip features make them comfortable for extended wear throughout the day, especially in sunny conditions.
What does 'Polarized' mean for these sunglasses?
Polarized lenses reduce glare reflected from surfaces like water, roads, and windows, improving visual clarity, contrast, and reducing eye strain.
What type of sunlight are these lenses designed for?
These are Category 3 sunglasses, designed for bright sunlight outdoors. They absorb 82-92% of sunlight.
Can I wear these for sports?
The secure grip provided by the rubberized elements makes them suitable for many sports and active pursuits where there is movement, especially in sunny weather.
What is the frame material?
The frame is made from TR90, a durable and lightweight material known for its flexibility and resistance.
How do I clean the mirror finish lenses?
Use a clean microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the mirror coating.
Do these sunglasses offer UV protection?
While the product description focuses on glare reduction and light filtering (Category 3), polarized lenses typically also offer UV protection. For specific UV rating, consult the product packaging or manufacturer's detailed specifications.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel loose or slip down the nose
Ensure the rubberized nose pads and temple tips are clean. If the issue persists, consider a professional adjustment or explore alternative models with adjustable nose pads.
Lenses appear scratched or damaged
Inspect lenses carefully. Minor smudges can be cleaned with a microfiber cloth. Significant scratches may impair vision and require lens replacement or a new pair of sunglasses.
Reduced visibility in low light conditions
The Category 3 filter and mirror coating are optimized for bright sun. For low light or indoor use, it is recommended to remove the sunglasses or switch to a lighter, non-polarized lens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These sunglasses require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with most adult head sizes due to their standard D-Frame design. To care for your Hawkers Grip sunglasses:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the lenses with a soft, microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or household cleaners, as they can damage the lens coatings.
- Storage: When not in use, store the sunglasses in a protective case to prevent scratches and damage. Keep them away from excessive heat, which can warp the frame.
- Handling: Always handle sunglasses by the frame, not by placing them on their lenses, to avoid direct pressure and potential scratches.
