Full details
The HAWKERS Active Polarized Sunglasses in White Chrome are designed for adults seeking a versatile, hybrid sunglass for both casual and sporty activities. Their key benefit is a lightweight, wrap-around design offering panoramic vision and enhanced grip, with polarized lenses for superior clarity and reduced eye strain. A potential caveat is the Category 3 filter, which might be too dark for very low light conditions. Key features include a semi-rimless mask lens, rubberized temple tips and nose pads, and mirror-finish silver polarized lenses.

FAQs
What does 'Polarized' mean for the lenses?
Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water, roads, and snow. This improves visual clarity, contrast, and reduces eye fatigue, especially in bright sunlight.
What is the purpose of the Category 3 filter?
Category 3 filters are designed for strong sunlight conditions. They absorb 82-92% of sunlight, providing good protection against bright light and UV radiation, making them suitable for outdoor activities on sunny days.
Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?
Yes, the polarized lenses are excellent for driving as they significantly reduce glare from the road and other vehicles, enhancing visibility and comfort.
How do I clean the rubberized parts of the sunglasses?
Gently wipe the rubberized temple tips and nose pads with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could degrade the material.
Can I wear these for intense sports like mountain biking?
Yes, the wrap-around design and rubberized grip elements are engineered to keep the sunglasses securely in place during sporting activities. The panoramic vision also aids in situational awareness.
What does 'semi-rimless mask lens' mean?
This refers to a style where the lens is partially exposed or held by a minimal frame, often giving a wraparound appearance. It contributes to a modern look and can reduce weight compared to full-rimmed designs.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the HAWKERS Active sunglasses are designed as a unisex model, intended for adult wearers of any gender.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel loose or slip down the nose
Ensure the rubberized nose pads and temple tips are clean and free of oils or dirt. If the issue persists, consider if the frame size is appropriate for your face shape.
Reduced visibility in low-light conditions
The Category 3 filter is designed for bright sun. For overcast or low-light conditions, these sunglasses may provide insufficient light transmission. Consider a pair with a lighter lens category for such situations.
Smudges or streaks on lenses
Clean the lenses using a dedicated microfiber cloth and a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear. Avoid using paper towels or clothing.
Frame feels tight or uncomfortable
TR90 material offers some flexibility, but ensure you have selected the correct size. If the frame consistently causes discomfort, it may not be the right fit for your head shape.

Care:
- Cleaning Lenses: Gently wipe lenses with a soft, microfiber cloth to remove smudges or dust. Avoid abrasive materials or household cleaners, which can damage lens coatings.
- Frame Maintenance: Clean the frame with a slightly damp cloth. Pay attention to the rubberized temple tips and nose pads to ensure they remain free of debris.
- Storage: Store the sunglasses in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods, especially on hot surfaces like a car dashboard, to prevent frame deformation.
