Electric Knoxville Gulf Polarized Sunglasses

A Classic Electric Frame Built for Real Sun

The Electric Knoxville Gulf has carried its distinct keyhole nose bridge and streamlined styling for over a decade, and it remains an award winning frame in the Electric lineup. If you searched for the Knoxville by name, this is the polarized version built around that same lightweight, familiar fit.

What Is Actually Inside the Frame

• Melanin infused polycarbonate lenses that protect against 98% of harmful HEV light and 100% UV
• Premium scratch resistance and impact protection built into the lens
• 6 base lens curvature for a wraparound field of view
• Mold injected bio resin frame construction for a lightweight, durable feel
• Optical grade 3 barrel stainless steel hinge with Teflon coated hinge screws
• Made in Italy and backed by a lifetime warranty
• Includes a Repreve microfiber sunglass bag made from recycled plastics

Who Reaches for the Knoxville

This is a men's frame sized for everyday wear, not a niche sport shape, which is why it shows up on boat days, beach afternoons, and just walking around town along the South Florida coast. The polarized lens setup cuts glare off open water, which matters if you spend time on a boat, a paddleboard, or just squinting at the horizon from the sand.

Fit, Wear, and Care

The keyhole nose bridge is designed to sit steady without pinching, and the lightweight bio resin build means it will not feel heavy after a full day outside. Stow the frame in the included Repreve microfiber bag when it is not on your face to keep the scratch resistant lens coating in good shape, and rinse salt spray off the frame with fresh water rather than wiping it dry, which can grind grit across the lens.

The Electric Story

Electric is designed in California and made in Italy, and the brand is rooted in Southern California's music, art, surfing, snowboarding, and active lifestyle culture, with its headquarters based in the beachside town of San Clemente.
