FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?

Yes, the polarized lenses significantly reduce glare from roads and other surfaces, enhancing visibility and reducing eye strain, making them suitable for driving in sunny conditions.

What does UV400 protection mean?

UV400 protection means the lenses block virtually all harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, protecting your eyes from sun damage.

How do I clean the eco-acetate frame?

The eco-acetate frame can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the material.

What is included with the sunglasses?

The sunglasses typically include a recycled and recyclable cardboard box, stickers, and a microfiber chamois leather for cleaning and storage.

Can the lenses be replaced if scratched?

Replacement lens options may vary. It is best to consult the manufacturer or an optical professional for specific lens replacement services.

Are these sunglasses good for sports?

Yes, the secure fit provided by the silicone temple sleeves and the durable frame make them suitable for many outdoor activities, though extreme sports might require specialized eyewear.

What is the difference between polarized and non-polarized lenses?

Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces, offering clearer vision and reduced eye fatigue compared to non-polarized lenses, which do not filter out reflected light.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or slip down

Ensure the silicone temple sleeves are clean and properly positioned. If the frame itself has loosened, check the 5-bar hinges for tightness.

Lenses appear smudged or streaky after cleaning

Ensure you are using a clean microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals on the lenses. Rinse lenses thoroughly before wiping.

Reduced visibility in low light conditions

The Category 3 lenses are designed for bright sunlight. For overcast or dim conditions, consider using lighter shaded or non-polarized lenses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These sunglasses require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: The unisex design and standard dimensions make these sunglasses compatible with most adult face shapes. They are suitable for general outdoor use.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your HAWKERS Inwood sunglasses:

  1. Cleaning: Use the included microfiber chamois leather to gently clean the lenses. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of neutral soap and water can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with the microfiber cloth.
  2. Storage: When not in use, store the sunglasses in their protective box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
  3. Handling: Avoid placing the sunglasses lens-down on surfaces. Do not expose them to high temperatures for extended periods, as this can damage the frame and lenses.
  4. Frame Maintenance: Periodically check the hinges and temple sleeves for cleanliness and ensure they are free from debris.
