Knockaround Fort Knocks Polarized Sunglasses
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Classic Style, Serious Polarization
The Knockaround Fort Knocks Polarized Sunglasses deliver the retro wayfarer silhouette that never goes out of style, backed by polarized lenses that actually cut glare on the water, pavement, and sand. At $35, these are built to be worn hard, not saved for special occasions.
Knockaround was founded in 2005 by Ace during his time as a graduate art student at the University of California, San Diego. Drawing on East Coast prep roots, a passion for design, and the perpetually sunny lifestyle of Southern California, he built a brand around sunglasses that are both practical and stylish. The Fort Knocks is a cornerstone of that ethos.
Fort Knocks Frame Construction
The Fort Knocks features a bold, squared-off wayfarer profile with a substantial frame that sits confidently on any face shape. The design draws from the classic American prep-sport aesthetic, updated with Knockaround's signature two-tone frame construction and baguette-cut hinge detailing visible at the temples. The Knockaround script logo is embossed on the outer arm.
Polarized Lenses
Polarization eliminates horizontal glare reflected off water, wet sand, car hoods, and other flat surfaces. The Fort Knocks lenses are polarized from the factory, not a coating that wears off. This makes them a genuine tool for fishing, paddling, beach days, and everyday driving in South Florida sun, not just a style accessory.
Built to Last, Priced to Use
Knockaround's philosophy is straightforward: make sunglasses durable enough to trust and affordable enough that losing them at the beach is not a catastrophe. The Fort Knocks frame is made from a durable plastic that resists flexing and snapping during active use. Hinges are sturdy. The fit is consistent across the lineup.
Who Fort Knocks Are For
The Fort Knocks suits anyone who wants a go-everywhere polarized sunglass with a recognizable silhouette and a price that does not require a second thought before tossing them in a bag. They work as well on a paddleboard as they do at a rooftop bar.
