Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Retro Aviator Style, Polarized Protection
The Knockaround MountEvans delivers everything you want from an aviator: a slim metal double-bridge frame, clean squared-off lenses, and full polarized protection, all at a price that makes them easy to live in. Whether you are on the water, on a mountain approach, or just cutting through a bright South Florida afternoon, the MountEvans cuts glare without cutting corners on style.
Polarized Lenses
Polarized lenses filter horizontally polarized light, the chief source of glare bouncing off water, pavement, and sand. The result is sharper contrast, reduced eye strain, and clearer vision in high-brightness conditions. The MountEvans lenses are tinted to reduce light transmission while maintaining true color rendition, so you see the water, the horizon, and the terrain the way it actually looks.
Metal Frame Construction
The frame is built on a thin metal chassis with a classic aviator double bridge. Adjustable clear nose pads let you dial in fit without tools. The temples run straight and slim, finishing with tortoise-patterned tips that grip gently without pressure. The overall construction is lightweight, which means the MountEvans wears comfortably for long sessions without leaving marks or fatiguing the nose bridge.
About Knockaround
Knockaround was founded in 2005 by Ace while he was a graduate art student at the University of California, San Diego. He merged the classic East Coast prep style of his Virginia upbringing with his interest in design and a newfound appreciation for the sunny, laid-back lifestyle of Southern California. The result is a brand built around sunglasses that are both practical and genuinely stylish, without the premium markup that usually comes with that combination. The MountEvans is a direct expression of that original idea.
