FAQs

Are these sunglasses safe for driving?

No. The Spectron 4 lenses are too dark and do not meet the light transmission requirements for safe operation of a motor vehicle.

Can the leather side shields be removed?

The side shields are an integral part of the Vermont Classic design and are intended to remain attached to provide the necessary side coverage.

What does Category 4 lens mean?

Category 4 indicates a very high level of visible light filtration, designed specifically for extreme light conditions found on snow, ice, or high-altitude peaks.

Are the lenses polarized?

The standard Spectron 4 polycarbonate lenses are not polarized, as they are focused on maximum light reduction for high-altitude environments.

Are these suitable for people with prescription glasses?

These frames are generally not designed to fit over prescription eyeglasses, and lenses are fixed. Consult with an optician regarding custom prescriptions.

Troubleshooting

Temples feel too loose during movement

Adjust the pre-curved temples by bending them more tightly behind the ears to increase the tension of the fit.

Lens surface showing smudges or cloudiness

Clean with a microfiber cloth and specialized lens cleaner; avoid using household glass cleaners which can damage the UV coating.

Side shields feel stiff

The leather is a natural material and may become more pliable with body heat and regular use; do not apply harsh leather conditioners that could stain the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior light filtration for high-altitude use
  • Excellent peripheral protection from wind and glare
  • Secure fit provided by adjustable temples
  • Durable, classic aesthetic

Cons

  • Lenses are too dark for driving
  • Leather side shields limit peripheral vision
  • Not intended for everyday casual use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a secure fit, gently mold the pre-curved temple tips around your ears until the frame feels snug but comfortable. Avoid forcing the temples if the material is cold, as minor warming can make adjustment easier. To clean the lenses, use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth and mild, pH-neutral soap with water; avoid using abrasive chemicals or paper towels which can scratch the polycarbonate coating. When not in use, store the sunglasses in a hard protective case to prevent damage to the leather side shields and to keep the lenses free from impact scratches.
