Knockaround Fast Lanes and Sport Polarized Sunglasses for Men & Women – Impact Resistant Lenses & Full UV400 Protection by Knockaround

Though I’ve had it for one day, it may not be enough to write a proper review and I’m happy to update my review after some time with the product. At first glance, the packaging seemed small. When taking the product out of the travel protective bag, it seemed small, almost like it was for kids. It is a bit small for my face but that is a preference. I love the color, I got the Olive green. The look and design are nice. The polarized lenses are nice, you can see well and it blocks the sun well. When using electronic devices such as a phone or laptop, the lenses almost blackout what you are looking at or have a sort of blue filter on it that takes time to adjust the eyes to. It also has a slight odor to it but that may just go away on its own. The weight is ok. I’m fair skinned so it does leave a significant mark on the bridge of my nose but as a result it also is not sliding off the face, they stay snug. All in all for the value, if you need to just an extra pair of glasses they may work but for “the pair” of glasses that are the preferred, these would not be it for me.

Nice looking sunglasses that appear to be well put together; I’ve found them to be excellent for sunny conditions, which is saying something since I just had cataract surgery last week. In fact, they may even be a bit too dark when it gets to be near dusk, but that’s not an issue for me.

What was a bit of an issue was that despite being the widest frame they make, they were a bit uncomfortably tight on my large noggin (size 8). That’s where the outstanding customer service came in: I contacted Knockaround to ask if I could safely heat the arms to bend them a bit. They advised that this was not recommended, and instead offered me an exchange to a FortKnocks sunglass with a spring hinge that should work better. I can’t wait to give them a try, and I want to give Knockaround a huge shoutout for making the offer. You just don’t find that level of customer service very often!

Excellent very happy

I love these sunglasses. Not all glasses fit my face or nose very well, but these did. They squeeze my head right above my ears a bit harder than I’d like, but not enough to cause lasting discomfort or a headache. I’ve gotten several compliments on them (I got the Fast Lanes Sport in “Desert”) and I like how they look on my face. The lenses are far enough from my eyeballs to avoid interference with my eyelashes, but not so far as to leak an unreasonable amount of light, given their design. The lens coating held up really well for me, but I didn’t expose them to ocean or pool water, so I can’t speak for the lens coating durability issues that others have mentioned. I would like to note that the directions tell you to rinse them off right away after exposure to salty or chlorine-treated water.

About a year and a week after I bought them, the right “leg” part of the sunglasses frame cracked and failed. I noticed that the other side was beginning to fail in exactly the same manner. Knockaround offers a one year warranty on their glasses, which I didn’t even know about until recently.

I sent Knockaround support an email with pictures of the crack, a description of the failure, and a screenshot of the date of my Amazon order. Despite my glasses technically being about a week past the warranty cutoff date, they agreed to send me a replacements right away, and had it shipped by the next day! When I opened the box, I was very surprised to find TWO brand new replacement pairs of glasses in there! At my current rate, that’s an additional two years worth of sunglasses. Pretty good for $35! They did mention that the new glasses would not be provided with a warranty, which effectively closes the infinite sunglasses glitch. Fair enough.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend giving Knockarounds a try, they’ve earned a loyal costumer.
