Knockaround Men's Accessories

Frequently Asked Questions

• What size and fit can I expect from Knockaround men's sunglasses?

  Knockaround sunglasses run a medium fit with an overall width of about 140 mm, 18 mm bridge, 51 mm lens width, 52 mm lens height and 143 mm temple length, which suits many face shapes. Models like the Premiums offer a balanced square profile for most faces, while wraparound styles such as the Campeones provide extra coverage for round, oval, and diamond shapes; rubber nosepads and temple grips help keep frames from slipping during activity.
• Are Knockaround lenses polarized and do they block UV?

  Most Knockaround models offer polarized lenses and all feature UV400 protection, blocking the vast majority of UVA/UVB rays. Lenses are made from TAC (triacetate cellulose), which is impact-resistant and often finished with oleophobic/hydrophobic coatings to repel water and oil and reduce glare and eye strain.
• Which Knockaround model should I choose for running, cycling, or water sports?

  For high-intensity activities like running and cycling, the Premiums Sport is tuned for sweat and movement with enhanced nose/temple grip and a slightly sportier shape; its lightweight polycarbonate frame minimizes bounce. For water and boating or adventures needing full coverage, the Campeones wraparound style delivers more side protection and glare control; standard Premiums or Torrey Pines work well as everyday active sunglasses.
• How do I pick the right lens tint for different light conditions?

  Choose lower light-transmission tints for bright, reflective conditions—Aqua (~9% LT), Moonshine (~11% LT), and Smoke (~16% LT) are best for intense sun and snow or water glare—while higher transmission tints like Mint (~22% LT) suit overcast or dawn/dusk use. Mirrored options cut visible light further, and pairing the tint with polarized TAC lenses gives the best glare reduction for outdoor sports.
• How do Premiums Sport and Campeones compare?

  Premiums Sport are a modern square, sport-focused version of the Premiums line with lightweight polycarbonate frames, improved nose/temple grips, and a profile geared toward running and cycling. Campeones are a bolder wraparound with greater peripheral coverage and a higher base curve, making them better for boating, water sports, and activities where side glare protection is critical.
