If you do business in an environment subject to harsh winter temperatures and precipitation, be a hero to your customers. How? By offering them helpful tips for taking care of their shades once the cold weather hits. You don't even have to look them up. We put together a complete list for you.
1. Temperature Protection (While Wearing)
Whether you're talking bulk designer sunglasses from Olympic Eyewear, or a generic pair purchased at the convenience store, the big enemy during the winter months is cold. Frames can get brittle when temperatures fall well below zero. So even while being worn, a pair of sunglasses can be more fragile when it's extremely cold. What is the solution? There are actually two tips:
- Shield Them – It's a wise idea to shield sunglasses using a scarf or a hat. If at all possible, users should keep everything covered except the actual lenses themselves. The heat trapped under the scarf or hat will help as well.
- Keep Them on the Face – During cold weather, it's best to keep sunglasses on the face while outdoors. They shouldn't be propped on the head or worn around the neck. Keeping sunglasses on the face helps maintain a more consistent temperature. Doing so also reduces fogging.
2. Store Them Properly
Proper storage is key to caring for sunglasses year-round. During the winter, using a protective case is always a good idea. A hardshell case is better, but even a soft case works. A case will absorb any shock, reducing the risk of damage to brittle plastic.
When not in use, store sunglasses in a warm, dry place. Winter is not the time to leave sunglasses in the car. It is not a good time to stash him in the glovebox, the center console, or the overhead compartment. Take them inside.
3. Clean Regularly
Cleaning one's sunglasses is even more important during the winter. We recommend a quick cleaning before stepping outside. Consumers should be sure to completely dry the sunglasses before leaving the house. The idea is to remove any moisture that could freeze and cause damage to the frames.
When cleaning, it is important to rinse the sunglasses first. That way, any salt residue will be rinsed away before drying the lenses. The last thing a person wants is a scratch left behind by dry salt inadvertently rubbed into the lenses.
4. Adapt To Activities
Finally, consumers should adapt the way they wear sunglasses to the activities they engage in. Skiers and snowboarders can do themselves and their sunglasses a favor by wearing goggles that fit over their shades. A sports band capable of keeping one's sunglasses securely on the face is also a pretty smart idea.
All these tips could help your customers take better care of their shades during the winter months. While you think them over, remember that Olympic Eyewear is your source for high quality, wholesale sunglasses from men, women, and children. We have styles and designs to fit every taste and budget.
