FAQs

Are the Hawkers ONE COLT lenses truly polarized?

Yes, the lenses are polarized, designed to significantly reduce glare and improve visual clarity by filtering out horizontal light waves.

What is the UV protection level?

The lenses offer 100% UV protection, safeguarding your eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation.

What does 'Category 3 filter' mean for the lenses?

A Category 3 filter indicates the lenses are dark and suitable for bright sunlight, absorbing between 82% and 92% of visible light.

What materials are the frame and lenses made from?

The frame is constructed from TR90 Swiss material, known for its flexibility and resistance. The lenses are made from bio-tac material.

Can I wear these sunglasses for sports?

What comes included with the sunglasses?

The sunglasses come with a microfiber cover for protection and cleaning, and a box for storage.

Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?

Yes, the polarized lenses are particularly beneficial for driving in bright conditions as they reduce glare from the road and other vehicles.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the temples slightly by gently bending them. If your model has adjustable nose pads, they can also be carefully molded for a better fit. For significant fit issues, consult a professional optician.

Lenses appear too dark for the current lighting.

The ONE COLT features Category 3 lenses, which are designed for bright sunlight. For lower light conditions (cloudy days, dawn, dusk), it's recommended to switch to lighter or non-polarized sunglasses.

Smudges or streaks on lenses after cleaning.

Ensure you are using a clean microfiber cloth. If smudges persist, try rinsing the lenses under cool water before wiping. Avoid using household cleaners.

Frame feels flimsy or loose at the hinges.

Check if the rotating hinges are obstructed. If they feel loose, gently try to tighten any visible screws at the hinge point, or consult an optician if the looseness is significant.

Care: To maintain the quality of your Hawkers ONE COLT sunglasses:

  1. Cleaning Lenses: Use the provided microfiber cover or a clean microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or abrasive fabrics, which can scratch the lenses.
  2. Washing: If lenses are very dirty, you can rinse them under cool running water and then dry them with a microfiber cloth.
