Disclaimer: I received a pair of Knockaround Premiums Sport Sunglasses to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews!
Long time no talk! It has been so long since I’ve been able to post, but believe me when I say that it has been a crazy few couple of months. On top of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic and racial unrest due to the senseless murder of George Floyd and countless other Black lives by police, a summer storm caused a neighbor’s tree to hit our house and damage our roof and siding. Thankfully no one was hurt but we had several days without power and had to make arrangements to still be able to “work from home” while taking care of our (then) 5-month-old daughter. Thankfully my MIL and sister came to our rescue, we’re lucky! We’re still dealing with our home insurance though…it’s just been stressful over here!
But on a much brighter note, I’ve been continuing to stay active. I’m not running as frequently this summer since I’m focusing more on strength training, but when I do run outside in the (lovely) heat or go for a walk, I’ve been wearing my new Knockaround sunglasses. Let me tell you, I’ve been a skeptic in the past, but I am a huge fan! I’m happy to share my review of these shades that are good for working out and hanging out!
Knockaround Premiums Sport Sunglasses Review
Have you heard of Knockaround sunglasses? I have seen so many runners on Instagram rocking them over the years in all their fancy colors. Because I wear prescription glasses (and am always too lazy to put on contacts), I’ve only rarely gone on a run with shades. Until now.
Knockaround Features
Knockaround has over a dozen different styles of sunglasses that vary from sporty to chic, with polarized and non-polarized options. They also have shades for children. You can even make your own custom pair!
The Premiums Sports have the following features:
- Lightweight polycarbonate material
- Impact-resistant lenses
- Rubberized nose pads to prevent slip and bounce
- UV400 protection
- Protective pouch included
- A fantastic return policy
I was able to test out the Premiums Sport and I liked them right away! I’m not gonna lie; I have a pretty big head, lol. So it’s great that the fit of these sunglasses was “just right”. The temples of the Premiums are on the thicker side compared to some of their other styles, which I prefer. As usual, this summer in Philadelphia has been swelteringly hot and humid, but the Knockarounds were able to handle my sweat with no issues with sliding or slipping.
I’ve been wearing these Knockaround’s all over the place: The beach, the pool, on a boat, on trails, walking on city streets…and I’ve been happy with them every time. It may be common knowledge, but wearing sunglasses while running on a trail can get a bit tricky if the trees create a lot of shadows. I had to make sure to watch my footing a little more than usual! Due to COVID, I haven’t been eager to fool around with contact lenses, but in the future, I will definitely look at wearing Knockaround’s with contacts so that I can see at full strength!
Get Your Own Pair of Knockaround’s!
If you’re interested in getting your own pair, I have a discount for you! Use code Bibraveknocks5 to save 20% on your online order! And for a limited time, you can get free shipping! Knockaround’s are already very affordable, around $20-$30 on average, so this is a really great deal! I can see why people own multiple pairs as they have so many cool and creative designs. They’d also make for a great gift! If you can’t tell, I highly recommend these shades!
Do you wear sunglasses when you run? Have you been able to fulfill any items on your summer bucket list?
I won a pair of Knockarounds and loved from the first wearing. I ordered a few more pairs within a week LOL They’ve worked well for biking, too!
That’s awesome!! I would love to take them out on a bike ride sometime!
I first discovered knockarounds last summer (also through bibrave) they quickl became my favorite. I know have quite the collection! Love them
I could see them being very addictive with so many options to choose from! And they look good on you!
Super cute! I have a sunglasses problem and I do like the look of these. Lightweight and slip proof are qualities I need in a pair of shades, and these sound like they fit the bill.
Such cute sunglasses! I am so hard on sunglasses in general so I need ones like these.
Glad you are getting out with the baby. 🙂
I love my Knockaround Sunglasses! I notice that they never slip during my runs which is the most important feature for me.
I love that there is a rubberized nose pad. That’s where I find I get the most discomfort from sunglasses, especially if I’m sweating!
A bucket list? What’s that?!
You look super cute in those sunglasses. I do almost always wear sunglasses (only if it’s really cold, really raining, or I forget them do I run without them!
I do, OTOH, wear contacts. Dailies. So I just throw them out at the end of the day. I’ve been wearing contacts for roughly 35 years (although dailies only for the last few years).
These sunglasses look amazing on you and they sound great!! I have been looking for a new pair, so I can’t wait to try this!!!
Those glasses look great —and that pool looks so inviting I hope your home repair saga is resolved soon! That looked scary.
We JUST got to the point where we can schedule the repairs to our roof…the insurance was just a nightmare!
These sunglasses look great on you! I’ve heard so many good things about Knockarounds – glad you enjoyed them!
Thanks, Michelle!
