Taking care of your Polarized mirror lenses 😎

Your Wombat sunglasses are built for adventure, but a little extra care will ensure they last even longer.

Wombat Gear lenses are scratch-resistant, not scratchproof. We recommend transporting and storing your Wombats in your Wombat Gear hardcase and/or the microfibre pouch.

Never place your Wombat Gear lenses down on hard or abrasive surfaces, or leave unprotected in your pocket, bag or handbag.

Always rinse your lenses under water first, to remove possible salt, sand or dirt. Wombat lenses should only be cleaned with the provided microfibre pouch or cloth (Just remember to use a liquid lens cleaner. Cleaning lenses without liquid is not recommended).

Wash your cleaning cloth! Leftover debris, oil, and other particles might be left on the cloth after use. You would not want to clean your glasses with a dirty cloth. Make sure to handwash your cleaning cloth in warm soapy water periodically and do not use fabric softener. Once handwashed, be sure to only air-dry.

Wombat Gear lenses are salt water safe, but prolonged exposure to salt water and the other elements may over time damage the coating on your lenses. Mirrored lenses are the most affected by saltwater because not only can the salt cause scratches but it can also cause corrosion because of the metal mirror finish. The salt, combined with moisture and oxygen can be more damaging to your mirror lenses. It eats away at the metal, which weakens it, and causes it to fall apart. This is why after a day on the water, it is important to rinse off your lenses in fresh, clean water as soon as possible. Also rinse with fresh water after exposure to sweat or sun cream.

Rubbing alcohol, hand sanitiser or isopropyl alcohol, should not be used to clean mirror lenses. This harsh chemical runs the risk of damaging their special coating, and the frames. Go to our sport and aftersport collection to see the different lens colour options.
