Wooden sunglasses, like any other glasses, consist of several elements forming a set such as the frame, the pins, the connecting elements between the two (the hinges) and the lenses.
Wood is a very light and easy-to-carry organic material, our sunglasses float.
It is not recommended or intended to remain in contact with water for long periods of time, however they are perfectly resistant to rain, splashes and fresh water. Following the advice we give you in this post you will have no problem wetting them. (see below).
Mounts and Pins Care
Our saddles and / or pins are made by hand using different techniques using natural woods , which have been treated with natural dyes (sometimes with color or colorless depending on models and woods) to nourish and protect the wood from external agents and preserve its properties and natural beauty for a long time, so it is not necessary to take special care, however if you are one of those very careful and thoughtful people every so often you can apply to the wood a very thin layer of natural wax or petroleum jelly applied with a Clean cloth or with an ear stick for areas where fingers do not reach with the cloth. In this way you will keep your glasses as the first day for much longer.
Hardware and Hinges Care
The hardware (hinges) of our sunglasses are made of high quality stainless steel and do not require special care, they are fixed to saddles and pins with small standard head screws, if after time you notice that the pin dances a shortly, you will simply have to tighten these screws with a small jewelry dethrottle available from any multi-price store and they will return to your site.
Lens Care
The lenses are the most delicate element of sunglasses. Our TAC UV400 lenses are very light, Bio degradable and filter 98% of UVA rays, have a thickness of 1.1mm and are Polarized allowing you to enjoy a vision with less reflections and vibrant colors.
With your Root natural wood glasses you will receive an appropriate microfiber suede to clean both the neutral colored lenses (brown and gray) and the REVO mirror or CR39 lenses as well as a jute bag to protect your glasses when you do not use them. In urban environments you can use microfiber suede to clean the lenses by gently rubbing both sides. If you have been on the beach or in dusty environments, we recommend putting the glasses first under running water or immersing them and shaking in the sink to remove grains of sand or dust that are abrasive and would scratch your lenses when rubbing with suede Never use cleaning products to clean the mirrored lenses as these may contain harsh chemicals that may deteriorate the lens coverage on models with REVO lenses. Both seawater, which is corrosive and pool water that usually contains chemical agents, can damage the coverage of the mirrored lenses in case the lenses of your glasses come into contact with them NEVER let the drops of water in the lenses, since the mirrored cover will probably be damaged, instead wash the lenses with fresh water and dry gently with an appropriate gamyza. Keep in mind that Root guarantees the properties of the lenses, (degree of protection and polarization) but we will never take care of the damage caused to the surface of the lenses after purchase. Following the above tips you can wear the lenses for a long time. which is corrosive like pool water that usually contains chemical agents can damage the coverage of the mirrored lenses in case the lenses of your glasses come in touch with them NEVER let the water droplets dry on the lenses, since that the mirrored cover will probably be damaged, instead wash the lenses with fresh water and dry gently with an appropriate gamyza.

Scratches in a neutral lens (gray or brown) will be clearly shown as a line or point of a lighter color than the lens itself, in the mirror lenses these scratches or stings will be shown as a black dot or line that can be confused with a speck of dust or a stain, in no case rubbing insistently or using cleaning products of any kind since in these lenses you will only be able to remove the mirrored lens coverage aggravating the problem.
