Full details

The Hawkers Classic Valmont sunglasses in Polarized Brown are designed for adults seeking stylish eye protection with enhanced visual clarity. Their key benefit lies in the polarized brown lenses that reduce glare and eye fatigue, ideal for bright outdoor conditions. A potential caveat is that while suitable for full sun, they may be too dark for overcast or indoor environments. This unisex model features a unique blend of shiny, semi-translucent honey and brown tortoiseshell temples and upper rims, complemented by a gold-tone stainless steel bridge and lower rims.

FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?

Yes, the polarized brown lenses are excellent for driving as they significantly reduce glare from the road and other vehicles, while the brown tint helps enhance contrast.

What does 'Category 3 filter' mean?

A Category 3 filter indicates that the lenses are dark and suitable for bright sunlight conditions. They absorb between 82% and 92% of visible light, providing good protection outdoors.

How should I clean my Hawkers sunglasses?

Clean the lenses with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For the frame, use a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

Are these sunglasses truly unisex?

Yes, the design is intended to be unisex, suitable for a wide range of adult users regardless of gender.

What is the lens material?

The lenses are made of polarized bio-tac material, offering 100% UV protection.

Can I wear these in cloudy weather?

While they offer UV protection, the Category 3 tint is quite dark and may reduce visibility too much in cloudy or overcast conditions. They are best suited for bright sunlight.

What colors are the frame and temples?

The temples and upper rims are a shiny, semi-translucent honey and brown tortoiseshell. The lower rims and bridge are gold-tone stainless steel.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear too dark indoors or in low light.

These sunglasses are designed for bright outdoor conditions (Category 3). Remove them when indoors or in low-light environments for optimal vision.

Frame feels loose or uncomfortable.

Minor adjustments can often be made by gently bending the temples. For significant discomfort or looseness, consult an optician for professional fitting.

Scratches on lenses.

Scratches are generally permanent. To prevent future scratches, always store sunglasses in a protective case and clean them with a soft microfiber cloth.

Reduced sharpness or contrast in certain conditions.

Ensure lenses are clean and free of smudges. While polarized lenses enhance contrast, the brown tint may subtly alter color perception. If the issue persists, check if the specific lighting condition is ideal for brown-tinted polarized lenses.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth (like a microfiber cleaning cloth) to gently wipe the lenses. Avoid abrasive materials or paper towels, which can scratch the lenses.
