description

Even if you’re not a die hard Dead Head, you’ve almost certainly seen this friendly fivesome before. First appearing on the back cover of the 1973 album History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear's Choice), the Dancing Bears* have stuck around as a staple of music iconography for 50 years. And just like the music of the Dead will never stop, we’re pretty sure the Dancing Bears aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Built to last on the fan-favorite Fort Knocks, this prescription pair lets you bring some tie-dye Dancing Bears cheer along no matter where you’re headed!

*If you talk to a purist, they’ll tell you the bears are marching, not dancing. But like thousands of other Deads Heads already have, we’re happy to encourage alternative interpretations.

sustainability

In 2022, Knockaroud officially became Plastic Neutral—for every pound of plastic we use, we remove one pound from the environment elsewhere. But that’s far from where our sustainability efforts end. We’ve also implemented minimalist, recycled packaging, eliminated single-use plastics, and included recycled materials in our products whenever possible. There’s always more progress to be made, but we’re committed to putting in the work

Grateful Dead Dancing Bears Fort Knocks Rx

Knockaround Sunglasses and Forbes

“Knockaround sunglasses deliver a lot of value for a very reasonable price.”

Knockaround Sunglasses and GQ

“Buy five and don’t worry about if (or when) you lose a pair.”

Knockaround Sunglasses and Newsweek

“If you're looking for affordable sunglasses that you can wear without worrying, Knockaround is the answer.”

Knockaround Sunglasses and Men's Health

“The selection styles are massive and always changing. If that isn't enough, you can even customize your own frames.”

Who we are

Sunshine and San Diego

Born, raised, and bathed in San Diego sunshine, Knockaround is the original, affordable sunglasses brand. Since 2005 we’ve committed to making durable shades that are both practical and stylish. Our stellar customer service and ever-growing selection of high-quality eyewear have made us not just hometown favorites, but go-to’s across the globe!

Plastic Neutral

KNOCKAROUND IS PLASTIC NEUTRAL

Making high-quality shades is the core of what we do, but inevitably that means we contribute to excess plastic byproduct. The idea of being a net drain on the environment doesn’t sit well with us, so we partnered with CleanHub to recover and remove plastic waste before it can reach our oceans!
