Frequently asked questions.

HUDDYS is a small American eyewear brand that makes non-polarized sunglasses designed for drivers of vehicles with head-up displays (HUDs). Every pair is UV400, made in collaboration with a Chinese manufacturer that produces eyewear for established global brands, and priced to make luxury-grade lenses accessible.

Polarized lenses block the polarized light that head-up displays project onto your windshield. The result: rainbow ghosting, color washout, or the HUD vanishing entirely when you tilt your head. We built HUDDYS specifically for the millions of drivers in HUD-equipped vehicles whose existing sunglasses don't work the way they should. Read the full HUD compatibility guide.

The brand premise is HUD-friendly driving sunglasses, but the lineup is designed to be worn all day — beach, golf, office walks, dinner. We named each SKU after a moment in the day so you'd see it for what it is: one pair, all day, every drive in between.

Not at launch. Edition 01 ships as plano (non-prescription) only. Prescription is on the roadmap for 2027. If you need Rx now, take the frame to your local optician — most can re-cut PC UV400 lenses to your prescription, but it'll void our warranty on the lens.

Tilt your head 30 degrees left or right while wearing your sunglasses in the driver's seat. If the speed or navigation image dims, color-shifts to a rainbow, or vanishes entirely — your lenses are polarized and they're fighting your HUD. Full test in the HUD compatibility guide.

Polycarbonate (PC), UV400, base-6 curvature on most styles. PC is lighter than glass, more impact-resistant than CR-39, and the standard for premium driving eyewear.

Hard coat for scratch resistance, back-surface AR (anti-reflective) to kill reflections from behind the lens, and hydrophobic / oleophobic coating to repel water and fingerprints. All standard on every Edition 01 pair.

Three SKUs are PC frames (Trailhead, Tee Box, Poolside) — light, durable, no break. Three are metal frames (Morning Drive, Out the Back, Track Day) — premium feel, classic silhouettes. One is rimless metal (Reservation, On Time) — minimal frame, statement lens. All metal hinges, no spring hinges in this edition.

Yes — UV400, which blocks 100% of UVA and UVB up to 400 nanometers. That's the standard for premium sunglasses, and what optometrists recommend for daily wear. Polarization is unrelated to UV protection — being non-polarized doesn't change UV performance.

The short version: angular faces look great in rounder silhouettes (Out the Back, Poolside), softer faces work better in sharper silhouettes (Morning Drive, Tee Box, Reservation). The full version is in our Frame Fit Guide with face-shape primers and per-SKU sizing.

Use the included microfiber cloth on dry lenses. For smudges, run the lenses under cool water briefly, then dry with the microfiber. Avoid paper towels, T-shirts, and household glass cleaners — they can scratch the AR coating over time.

Try not to. Sustained high heat (above 150°F / 65°C) can warp PC frames and damage the lens coatings. The case is fine inside the cabin, but on the dash in summer sun is risky.

In the case, every time. The case is included with every order. Tossing them lens-down in a console or bag is the fastest way to scratch the AR coating.
