Knockaround Day Trips Polarized Sunglass
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for Every Day Out
The Knockaround Day Trips is the brand's go-to everyday polarized sunglass. A square, slightly retro silhouette sits on a matte black frame that keeps things clean from the beach to the street. Polarized lenses cut glare off water, pavement, and sand so your eyes stay comfortable from first light to last call.
Polarized Lenses That Work
Polarized lenses filter horizontal glare, the kind that bounces off flat surfaces like the ocean, wet roads, and car hoods. The result is sharper contrast, reduced eye fatigue, and truer color perception compared to tinted-only lenses. The Day Trips keeps this technology in an accessible package without compromising on optical quality.
Frame and Construction
The Day Trips frame is a broad, squared-off shape that suits a wide range of face widths. The matte black finish resists fingerprints and glare off the frame itself. Temples taper cleanly with the signature Knockaround "K" logo at the hinge, and the tips are shaped to stay put during activity. The lightweight construction means you can wear them all day without fatigue.
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 classic East Coast prep style with a love for Southern California's laid-back lifestyle, he built a brand around sunglasses that are both practical and stylish. The Day Trips is one of the clearest expressions of that philosophy: real polarized protection at a price that means you can actually wear them everywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Knockaround Day Trips sunglasses actually polarized?
- Yes. The Day Trips lenses are polarized, meaning they contain a filter that blocks horizontal glare reflected off flat surfaces like water, roads, and sand. This reduces eye strain and improves visual clarity compared to standard tinted lenses.
- What is the frame shape of the Knockaround Day Trips?
- The Day Trips features a square-to-rectangular silhouette with a slightly retro feel. The matte black frame is moderately broad and suits a wide range of face shapes.
- How durable are Knockaround sunglasses for beach and outdoor use?
- Knockaround builds the Day Trips to handle everyday outdoor use. The matte frame resists surface scuffs, and at the $28 price point, they are designed to be worn hard without worry.
- What is the difference between polarized and non-polarized sunglasses?
- Non-polarized lenses reduce overall light transmission through tinting. Polarized lenses add a molecular filter that specifically blocks horizontally polarized light, which is the glare that bounces off reflective flat surfaces. The Day Trips' polarized lenses give you sharper contrast and less eye fatigue outdoors.
