Knockaround Torrey Pines Polarized Sunglasses
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Polarized Protection, No Markup
The Knockaround Torrey Pines delivers genuine polarized lens technology at a price that makes it the go-to choice when you want real glare-cutting performance without paying a premium for a logo. The broad wayfarer-inspired frame sits confidently on the face, and the polarized lenses do the work they are supposed to: eliminating horizontal glare off water, sand, and pavement so you can actually see in full South Florida sun.
About the Torrey Pines Style
The Torrey Pines is part of Knockaround's core lineup, built on a full-coverage rectangular frame shape that provides substantial facial coverage. The frame profile is bold without being oversized, striking a balance between a classic retro silhouette and a fit that works for active outdoor use. Sturdy temples lock the frame in place, and the nose bridge geometry keeps the glasses seated comfortably through movement.
Polarized Lenses
Polarized lenses filter the horizontal light waves that cause glare off reflective surfaces. On the water, on the beach, or driving into the afternoon sun, that filtering removes the washed-out haze that standard tinted lenses leave behind, giving you cleaner contrast and reduced eye fatigue. The Torrey Pines lenses are purpose-built for the kind of outdoor activity that the South Florida lifestyle demands.
About Knockaround
Knockaround was founded in 2005 by Ace during his time as a graduate art student at the University of California, San Diego. Merging the classic East Coast prep style of his Virginia upbringing, his interest in design and fashion, and a newfound love for the perpetually sunny, laid-back lifestyle of Southern California, Ace created a company centered around a sunglasses line that was both practical and stylish. The result is a brand that has consistently delivered well-built, polarized eyewear at a fair price point, without the markup that comes with fashion-house branding.

- Yes. The Torrey Pines feature polarized lenses that cut horizontal glare off water, sand, and reflective surfaces, reducing eye strain in bright outdoor conditions.
- Is Knockaround a good brand for the money?
- Knockaround was built specifically around the idea that quality polarized eyewear should not carry a fashion-house markup. Founded in 2005, the brand has earned a loyal following by delivering genuine polarized lens performance at an accessible price.
- What is the Torrey Pines frame shape?
- The Torrey Pines uses a broad rectangular, wayfarer-inspired silhouette that provides full facial coverage. The profile is bold and classic without being oversized.
- Are these sunglasses good for the beach and water?
- Yes. Polarized lenses are specifically effective in beach and on-water environments where glare off reflective surfaces is strongest. The Torrey Pines frame is built for active outdoor use.
- How do I clean and care for Knockaround sunglasses?
- Use a microfiber cloth to wipe the lenses. Avoid paper towels or rough fabrics that can scratch the lens surface. Rinse with fresh water after salt water or sand exposure, and store in a protective case when not in use.
- Where can I buy Knockaround Torrey Pines sunglasses?

- What is the difference between polarized and non-polarized sunglasses?
- Polarized lenses contain a filter that blocks horizontal light waves, which are the primary source of glare off flat surfaces like water, roads, and sand. Non-polarized lenses reduce overall brightness but do not eliminate this directional glare, leaving more visual haze in high-reflection environments.
