Full details

These rectangular sunglasses from HAWKERS, part of the Twist series, are designed for adults seeking a stylish accessory with a unique transparent beige tortoiseshell acetate frame and yellow cosmetic lenses. The key benefit is their suitability for indoor and low-light outdoor conditions, enhancing visibility without glare. A caveat is their limited effectiveness in bright sunlight due to the category 1 filter.

FAQs

What are the yellow cosmetic lenses best used for?

The yellow cosmetic lenses are ideal for improving contrast and clarity in low-light conditions, such as indoors, on cloudy days, or during dawn and dusk. They are not recommended for bright sunlight.

What does 'Category 1 filter' mean?

A Category 1 filter allows 56-81% of visible light to pass through, meaning it's designed for low-light conditions and absorbs only 20-56% of sunlight. It is not suitable for very sunny weather.

Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?

They can be used for driving in low-light or overcast conditions. However, due to the low filter category, they are not recommended for driving in bright, direct sunlight.

What material are the frames made of?

The frames are made of high-quality, durable acetate.

What is included with the purchase?

The purchase includes the sunglasses, a microfiber cover for protection and cleaning, and a presentation box.

How do I clean the lenses properly?

Gently wipe the lenses with the included microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Can these sunglasses be adjusted for a better fit?

Minor adjustments to the temple arms can be made by a professional optician. Avoid trying to adjust them yourself, as acetate can be brittle.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear foggy indoors.

This is normal due to temperature differences. The fogging should dissipate quickly once you are in a stable environment. Clean lenses with the microfiber cloth if smudges persist.

Sunglasses feel loose or tight.

Minor adjustments to the temple arms can be made by a professional optician. Avoid attempting to bend the acetate frame yourself, as it can break.

Reduced visibility in bright sunlight.

These sunglasses feature a category 1 filter and are not designed for bright sunlight. For sunny conditions, consider sunglasses with a higher UV protection category.
