Knockaround Brooklines Polarized Sunglasses
The Brooklines from Knockaround take the iconic browline silhouette and pair it with polarized lenses built for real sun exposure. A bold upper brow bar anchors the frame while gold-accented metal lower rims keep the look refined and versatile. The result is a pair of sunglasses that moves from the water's edge to everyday wear without skipping a beat.
Polarized Lenses
Polarized lenses filter out horizontal glare reflecting off water, pavement, and sand. That means sharper, more comfortable vision in the conditions South Florida shoppers deal with daily. For anyone spending time on the water or at the beach, polarized optics are a meaningful upgrade over standard tinted lenses.
Browline Construction
The Brooklines frame follows the classic browline design: a thicker upper brow portion in plastic meets a lighter metal lower rim that partly frames the lens. This half-and-half construction is lightweight, sturdy, and inherently flattering across a wide range of face shapes. Gold-tone hardware at the bridge and hinges adds a warm accent without being heavy.
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 with an 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 is both practical and stylish. Two decades later, Knockaround continues to deliver that same philosophy: well-made eyewear at a price that makes wearing them anywhere a real option.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Knockaround Brooklines polarized?
- Yes. The Brooklines feature polarized lenses that cut horizontal glare from water, sand, and pavement, giving you clearer, more comfortable vision in bright conditions.
- What is a browline frame?
- A browline frame combines a thicker upper brow bar in plastic with a lighter metal lower rim. The style is classic, lightweight, and flattering on a wide range of face shapes.
- Is Knockaround a good brand for sunglasses?
- Knockaround was founded in 2005 with a focus on practical, stylish eyewear at an accessible price. The brand blends East Coast prep and West Coast casual design and has built a strong following over two decades.
- What is the Knockaround Brooklines review verdict?
- The Brooklines are praised for combining a timeless browline silhouette with functional polarized lenses at a price well below designer alternatives. The gold hardware detail adds a premium look without the premium cost.
- Can I buy Knockaround sunglasses at Island Water Sports?
- Yes. Knockaround Brooklines polarized sunglasses are available through Island Water Sports in store and online.
- How do polarized sunglasses differ from regular tinted lenses?
- Regular tinted lenses reduce overall brightness. Polarized lenses go further by blocking horizontally polarized light, which is the glare that bounces off flat surfaces like water, sand, and roads. The result is sharper contrast and less eye strain in bright outdoor environments.
- How should I care for polarized sunglasses?
- Clean the lenses with a soft microfiber cloth and lens-safe solution. Avoid wiping with clothing or paper products that can scratch the lens coating. Store in a protective case when not in use to preserve both the frame and the polarized coating.
