UV400 Protection
All of our sunglasses offer full UV400 protection which covers both the UVA and UVB spectrum.
Sunglasses Category
- Sunglasses lenses are categorized from 0 to 4. Knockaround sunglasses fall under category 3 which work best in above average light conditions and offer high sun glare reduction. Our Blue Light Blocker lenses fall under category 1, while our Readers lenses fall under category 0. Although blue light blockers and readers are category 0 and 1, they do have a UV400 protective coating.

When you need to perform at your peak, sometimes a non-polarized lens can actually enhance your edge. Athletes that rely on depth perception (golfers, baseball players, mountain bikers, etc.) benefit from a bit of glare, which helps to determine things like distance, depth, contrast, slope, surface conditions, and more.
