FAQs
What makes these sunglasses polarized?
The lenses are made from polarized bio tac material, which has a special filter that blocks reflected light (glare) from surfaces like water, snow, and roads, allowing for clearer vision and reduced eye strain.
Are these suitable for all types of sports?
They are ideal for low-impact sports and everyday wear in sunny conditions. For high-impact sports, a more secure fit and impact-resistant design might be necessary.
What does 'Category 3 filter' mean?
Category 3 lenses are dark and suitable for bright sunlight outdoors. They transmit between 8% and 18% of visible light, effectively blocking 82-92% of sunlight.
How do I clean the mirrored lenses?
Gently wipe with the provided microfiber cloth. For tougher marks, use a lens cleaning solution specifically for coated lenses, applying it to the cloth, not directly onto the lens.
What is the frame material, and why is it important?
The frame is made from TR90 Swiss, known as the best nylon for frames globally. It offers superior flexibility and resistance, making the sunglasses durable and comfortable to wear.
Can I wear these indoors or in cloudy weather?
These sunglasses have dark lenses (Category 3) and are best suited for bright, sunny outdoor conditions. They may be too dark for indoor use or very cloudy weather.
What accessories are included with the sunglasses?
The sunglasses come with a microfiber cleaning cloth and a protective box with a lid for safe storage.
Troubleshooting
Lenses appear smudged or dirty
Clean the lenses gently with the provided microfiber cloth. If smudges persist, use a small amount of specialized lens cleaner.
Sunglasses feel loose or slip down
Check the hinges and temple arms. If the frame is slightly bent, professional adjustment may be needed. Ensure the silicone nose pads are clean.
Reduced vision in lower light conditions
These sunglasses feature a Category 3 filter designed for bright sunlight. For lower light conditions, consider using lighter-tinted or clear lenses.
Frame feels stiff or not flexible
The TR90 material is designed for flexibility. If the frame feels unusually rigid, it may have been exposed to extreme temperatures. Allow it to return to room temperature.

- Cleaning: Use the provided microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses. For stubborn smudges, a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for coated lenses can be used sparingly. Avoid using abrasive materials or household cleaners.
