Product Information
Full details
These HAWKERS sunglasses are designed for adults seeking stylish eye protection for sunny outdoor conditions. Their key benefit is superior sharpness and contrast reduction of glare, thanks to polarized bio-tac lenses with 100% UV protection. A potential caveat is that the Category 3 filter, while excellent for bright sun, might be too dark for very overcast or low-light environments. The design features a classic round panto-style shape with a high-gloss TR90 frame in total black, complemented by half-H-shaped front pins and a keyhole bridge. Included with the sunglasses are a microfiber cover and a protective box.
