Who we are
Born, raised, and bathed in San Diego sunshine, Knockaround is the original, affordable sunglasses brand. Since 2005 we’ve committed to making durable shades that are both practical and stylish. Our stellar customer service and ever-growing selection of high-quality eyewear have made us not just hometown favorites, but go-to’s across the globe!
Our Campeones were made with a sporty and simple vibe in mind. These sleek wraparound sunglasses provide complete UV400 protection with the included smoke lenses, while both the frame and lenses are super lightweight and impact resistant for comfy long-term wear. We purposely designed this frame style to minimize visual distortion, so don’t hesitate to try them out at your next baseball game for a performance to be remembered.
Knockterra™ Performance Lens Tech
With both water-resistant and oil-resistant coatings built in, any sweat, water, or fingerprint that makes its way to your lenses during your workout won’t hinder your performance. Purposefully non-polarized, they also allow for enhanced depth perception for sports that rely on this visual aid. As always, these lenses are impact resistant and provide full UV400 protection.
Making high-quality shades is the core of what we do, but inevitably that means we contribute to excess plastic by product. The idea of being a net drain on the environment doesn’t sit well with us, so we partnered with 4ocean to maintain plastic neutrality and work further to improve the environmental friendliness of our process.
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.
When you need to perform at your peak, sometimes a non-polarized lens can actually enhance your edge. Athletes that rely on depth perception (golfers, baseball players, mountain bikers, etc.) benefit from a bit of glare, which helps to determine things like distance, depth, contrast, slope, surface conditions, and more.
