Knockaround Kids

Frequently Asked Questions

• What ages and head sizes do Knockaround Kids Premiums and Kids Campeones fit best?

  Knockaround Kids Premiums are built for small-to-medium faces and typically fit ages roughly 1–5 up to 1–8 depending on child proportions, with an overall frame width around 125–126 mm and lens widths near 44–47 mm. Kids Campeones and Spring Break Campeones offer a slightly larger, wraparound fit that extends comfortably toward age 10 and include adjustable nose and ear pads to fine-tune retention for active kids. Prioritize fit first—secure, contoured frames and adjustable contact points keep sunglasses on during play.
• Are Knockaround kids sunglasses durable and safe for playgrounds, water play, and sports?

  Yes, Knockaround kids models use impact-resistant Knockterra or triacetate cellulose lenses with UV400 protection and FDA-approved impact ratings to guard against debris and rough play. Frames employ durable polycarbonate (Kids Premiums) or flexible TR90 (Campeones) with rubberized, nonslip finishes and reinforced hinges to withstand bumps and frequent use. These construction choices balance lightweight comfort with playground-ready toughness.
• How do polarized Kids Premiums compare to the mirrored Kids Campeones for different outdoor activities?

  Kids Premiums come in polarized lens options that reduce glare on water, snow, and pavement—good for fishing, beach days, and bright winter play—whereas Kids Campeones typically use mirrored Knockterra lenses and a wraparound shape that prioritizes side coverage and depth perception for running, biking, and fast-moving play. If glare control is the priority choose polarized Premiums; if wraparound security and impact resistance are more important, opt for Campeones. Both offer UV400 protection, so pick based on glare needs and preferred fit.
• What materials and design features improve comfort and retention on active kids?

  Premiums use lightweight polycarbonate frames with contoured temple profiles and comfortable nose pads for all-day wear, while Campeones use flexible TR90 frames and adjustable nose/ear pads that grip during rapid movement. Many models have matte or rubberized finishes and slightly curved temples to minimize slipping, plus included microfiber pouches for lens care. These details keep frames comfortable on different face shapes (oval, round, heart, etc.) without sacrificing durability.
• How should I choose lens tint and polarization for my child’s typical light conditions?

  For bright, sunny days and activities around water or snow, darker tints with polarized lenses (Kids Premiums) reduce glare and improve visual comfort; smoke, green, or blue/amber tints with ~12–14% light transmission suit high light. For mixed light, overcast, or situations where you want better contrast and depth perception (sports or trail play), mirrored Knockterra lenses in Campeones provide glare control without polarization and often preserve depth cues. Always confirm UV400 protection first, then match tint/transmission and polarization to the child’s primary activities.
