Full details
This guide is for adults seeking stylish and functional sunglasses for everyday wear, particularly in bright outdoor conditions. The Hawkers Peak Metal sunglasses offer a blend of modern sporty design and robust protection with their TR18 lenses and durable frame construction. A potential consideration is that while the gradient lenses are dark, they are categorized as Category 3, which might not be sufficient for extremely intense sunlight or specific activities requiring darker lenses.

FAQs
What material are the lenses made of?
The lenses are made from TR18, a material from Eastman that offers excellent optical quality, durability, and is environmentally friendly.
What level of UV protection do these sunglasses offer?
These sunglasses provide 100% UV protection, safeguarding your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.
Are these sunglasses suitable for very bright, direct sunlight?
They feature a Category 3 filter, which is suitable for most full-sun outdoor conditions and absorbs 82-92% of sunlight. For extremely intense light, darker lenses might be preferred.
Can I wear these sunglasses for sports?
The sporty character and lightweight design make them suitable for casual outdoor activities. For high-impact sports, specialized eyewear may offer better protection and fit.
What does 'gradient lens' mean?
A gradient lens is darker at the top and gradually becomes lighter towards the bottom. This provides more light in the lower field of vision while protecting the eyes from overhead glare.
How do I clean my Hawkers sunglasses?
Use a soft, microfiber cloth and a dedicated lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials. Rinse with water if exposed to salt or sand.
What is the frame made of?
The frame is constructed from a combination of metal and TR90, a durable and lightweight plastic material.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel too tight or too loose
Minor adjustments can often be made by gently bending the temple arms. For more significant adjustments, consult an optician.
Lenses appear smudged or dirty
Clean the lenses using a microfiber cloth and appropriate lens cleaner. Ensure the cloth is clean before use.
Frame feels unstable or wobbly
Check the screws at the hinge points. If they are loose, gently tighten them with a small screwdriver. If the issue persists, seek professional repair.
Discomfort from the nose bridge or eartips
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. For minor discomfort, some materials can be gently reshaped by a professional. For this model, check if the rubberized eartips are positioned correctly.
