Full details
The Hawkers CORE sunglasses are designed for adults seeking a versatile accessory that blends sportswear and lifestyle aesthetics. Their key benefit lies in the high-quality polarized lenses that reduce glare and eye fatigue, making them suitable for both everyday wear and low-impact sports. A potential caveat is their dark Category 3 tint, which may not be ideal for very low light conditions. This model features a durable TR90 frame with a distinctive carbon fiber effect, a square front, and hinges that offer a subtle wraparound feel for enhanced comfort and style.

FAQs
Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?
Yes, the polarized lenses significantly reduce glare from the road and other vehicles, making them excellent for driving in bright conditions. However, their Category 3 darkness means they should be removed if driving into tunnels or very shaded areas.
What does 'Polarized Red Mirror' mean?
Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces. 'Red Mirror' describes the color tint and reflective coating on the lens's exterior, which is typically red and reflects a portion of incoming light.
Can I wear these for sports like running or cycling?
They are suitable for low-impact activities like casual cycling or jogging due to their lightweight and secure fit. For high-intensity sports, a more specialized, tighter-fitting eyewear might be preferred.
What is TR90 frame material?
TR90 is a thermoplastic material known for its high resistance to stress, heat, and chemicals. It's flexible, lightweight, and durable, making it ideal for eyewear frames.
How do I clean the carbon fiber effect finish?
The carbon fiber effect is part of the frame's finish. Clean the frame gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What level of UV protection do these offer?
These sunglasses feature a Category 3 filter, which provides excellent protection against harmful UV rays, absorbing 82-92% of sunlight, making them suitable for strong sun conditions.
Are these sunglasses available in other lens colors?
The product description mentions availability in several colors of lenses and frames. While this specific model is 'Black Ruby', other variations may exist within the CORE series.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel loose or slip down the nose.
Ensure the hinges are not overly loose. If they are, consider consulting an optician for adjustment. The design prioritizes a light wraparound feel; for very active sports, a tighter-fitting sport-specific model might be more suitable.
Vision seems too dark indoors or on overcast days.
These are Category 3 sunglasses designed for bright sunlight. Remove them when moving indoors or into low-light conditions for optimal visibility and safety.
Lenses appear smudged or dirty.
Gently clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear.
Frame feels stiff or uncomfortable.
TR90 material offers some flexibility. Ensure the sunglasses are the correct size for your head. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by a professional, but avoid forceful bending.
