Product details

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 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.

  • Polarized rainbow mirrored lenses
  • Full UV400 eye protection
  • Clear base with an explosion of tie-dye coloring across the entire frame
  • Tie-dye arms decorated with iconic dancing bears on exterior  (well, marching bears if you ask Owsley)
  • Interior of left arm features the Grateful Dead logo
  • Silver hardware
  • Dancing Bear lens etch
  • Dancing Bears tie-dye microfiber pouch
  • Commemorative Grateful Dead packaging
  • FDA compliant impact resistant lenses

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!

Love these! These are my favorite knockarounds! I own 3 pair and my husband has two! We’ll definitely be buying from here again! Great quality, thanks so much for creating some glasses that suit my style!
