Description

The Aurora Borealis Fast Lanes come as close to capturing the beauty of the northern lights as you can get without a road trip to Alaska. The frame is painted with an ethereal blend of bright green, deep indigo, and brilliant violet streaks that dance atop a starry night sky backdrop. Polarized northern moonshine lenses, purple K logos, and a pine tree lens etch round out this back-to-nature pair for a look that works just as well on a walk through the park as it does on a mountain hike.

Designed on one of our most popular frame styles, the Fast Lanes feature clean-cut, rectangular lenses, and provide full UV400 sun protection. Every pair comes with a microfiber northern lights protective pouch and a numbered edition card.

  • Green, indigo, and violet streaks across starry sky frames
  • Polarized northern moonshine lenses
  • Purple K logos
  • Pine tree lens etch
  • Northern lights microfiber protective pouch
  • FDA approved impact resistant lenses with full UV400 protection

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.

Aurora Borealis

When conditions are perfect on clear northern nights, creatures of all kinds are treated to a visual extravaganza so awe-inspiring not even a full season of Planet Earth could do it justice. Aurora Borealis, the northern lights, dance above treetops and snow-capped peaks like magical curtains draped down from the heavens. If you haven’t seen this miracle yet, well, put it on your bucket list. Until then, this new Limited Edition pair will let you bring the beauty of the mystical Aurora Borealis along with you no matter what your latitude.

Stay Glare Aware

Polarized Lenses

Polarized lenses cut glare by filtering out horizontal light waves, like the ones that bounce off water or the road. Without this glare, you’re left with a more gentle view and reduced eye strain, not to mention crisper, cleaner details!

Committed to Sustainability

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.

Great look to these limited glasses

These were a must buy when I saw them initially. The bag is a nice touch and goes well with the glasses.

I love them

The Aurora Borealis are my favorite Knockaround shades yet, out of 10 pairs or so. They look great and feel more sturdy and durable than others
