FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?

Yes, the polarized green lenses are excellent for driving as they reduce glare from the road and other vehicles, improving visibility and reducing eye fatigue.

What does 'Category 3 filter' mean?

Category 3 lenses are suitable for strong sunlight and offer good UV protection. They absorb 82-92% of sunlight, making them ideal for outdoor activities in bright conditions.

Can I wear these in low-light conditions?

These sunglasses feature a Category 3 filter, which is designed for bright sunlight. They may be too dark for overcast days or low-light environments.

How do I clean the metal parts of the frame?

The metal rims are made of stainless steel and can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain their finish.

What is TR90 Swiss material?

TR90 is a high-performance polyamide-nylon considered one of the best materials for eyeglass frames globally. It offers superior flexibility, impact resistance, and lightweight comfort.

Do the lenses offer full UV protection?

Yes, the lenses provide 100% UV protection, shielding your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

What is included with the sunglasses?

The sunglasses come with a microfiber box and lid for storage and protection.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or slip down the nose.

Gently adjust the silicone nose pads for a more secure fit. Ensure the temple tips are resting comfortably behind your ears.

Lenses are smudged or dirty.

Clean the lenses using the provided microfiber cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a lens cleaning solution or mild soap and water, followed by drying with the microfiber cloth.

Frame feels stiff or inflexible.

TR90 material is designed for flexibility. If the frame feels unusually stiff, ensure it is clean and free of debris. Avoid forcing the frame into unnatural positions.

Visible scratches on lenses.

Minor scratches may be unavoidable with regular use. Avoid placing the sunglasses lens-down on surfaces. For significant scratching, lens replacement might be necessary, though this is not typically user-serviceable.
