Knockaround Travel

Frequently Asked Questions

• What lens technologies do Knockaround sunglasses use and how do they affect performance?

  Most Knockaround models provide full UV400 protection with FDA‑approved impact‑resistant lenses; you can choose polarized lenses for glare reduction or Knockterra/Knockterra+™ lenses (green and rose tints) for enhanced contrast. Lenses typically have water, sweat, scratch, and fingerprint‑resistant coatings to improve clarity and day‑to‑day durability.
• Which Knockaround models are best for high‑intensity sports like running or cycling?

  Pick sport‑specific lines such as Premium Sport, Fast Lanes Sports, or the wraparound Flight Paths for increased coverage and stability during activity. Look for versions with rubberized nose pads and grippy temple tips, since standard lifestyle frames are lightweight but may slip during very vigorous movement.
• How should I choose the right size and fit — do any Knockaround models run narrow or wide?

  Knockaround offers a range of shapes—Mile Highs (aviator teardrop) and Campeones tend toward classic or roomier fits, while some sport frames have a gentler flex that can feel snug on wider heads. If you need more hold or comfort, prioritize models with rubber nose pads and temple grips to reduce bounce and pressure points.
• How does Flight Paths compare to Mile Highs?

  Flight Paths are a wraparound, performance‑oriented design that maximizes peripheral vision and coverage for active use, while Mile Highs are an aviator‑inspired teardrop shape focused on everyday, retro style. Both are available with polarized or Knockterra lens options; choose Flight Paths for sport and protection, or Mile Highs for classic looks with solid sun protection.
• Are Knockaround lenses durable and easy to maintain for everyday use?

  Knockaround lenses are impact‑resistant and treated with water/sweat/scratch/fingerprint‑resistant coatings, and many models include a microfiber pouch that doubles as a cleaning cloth. They generally offer above‑average toughness for regular wear, though abrasive contact or hard impacts can still cause scratches and frames may show wear with rough handling.
