Sustainability

In 2022, Knockaroud officially became Plastic Neutral—for every pound of plastic we use, we remove one pound from the environment elsewhere. But that’s far from where our sustainability efforts end. We’ve also implemented minimalist, recycled packaging, eliminated single-use plastics, and included recycled materials in our products whenever possible. There’s always more progress to be made, but we’re committed to putting in the work.

Stay Glare Aware

Polarized Lenses

Polarized lenses cut glare by filtering out horizontal light waves, like the ones that bounce off water or the road. Without this glare, you’re left with a more gentle view and reduced eye strain, not to mention crisper, cleaner details!

Committed to Sustainability

Knockaround is Plastic Neutral

Making high-quality shades is the core of what we do, but inevitably that means we contribute to excess plastic byproduct.

This is my 2nd pair of Knockarounds!

Loved them so much, I thought I would actually buy a few pairs, esp. after seeing the Bob Marley version. So while these were not my 1st pair of owned Knockarounds, they are the 1st pair I actually purchased. Some one had left a pair behind in my car or I had found them lying around...I cant remember but they were in my car for a few months before I tried them on. Immediately fell in love and they became my dd's...as with all sunglasses, the lens eventually got scratched so it was time to get new ones. I was pleasantly surprised with their price...these glasses are very affordable too! Customer service is on point as well, had a shipping issue that was resolved instantly. Get yourself a pair or two, you wont regret it!

Best Black is a little transparent

I love the transition to clear on the bottom. If the had a little more fun with the temple arms they would be perfect.

Good looking and functional

I bought this pair of sunglasses with the intent of using them as my everyday sunglasses and not for running. Sunday I ran a half marathon and when I showed up to the event I realized these were the only glasses I had in the car. I threw them on, ran 13.1 miles and these worked as good as any sport/active glasses I've ran with in the past...and they looked better than most.

Very Nice!

I've been wearing knock around sunglasses for a couple years now. I've been very happy with these sunglasses. I plan to keep buying from this company.
