Review: My New #Knockaround "Deja Views" + 25% OFF Site-Wide This Weekend

Bright Summer Days Need Knockaround Sunnies

If you ask me, you can't have enough Knockaround sunglasses — especially during the Summer. I have a favorite pair of Knocks for every situation: running, walking, working, playing, and opting outside.

I just added Deja Views to my lineup. They're perfect for the pool and the beach. I picked polarized amber lenses to reduce glare and shield my eyes with UV400 protection. That's essential during Florida summers.

Deja Views offer several frame choices. I picked the classic glossy tortoise shell frames. But, I may go back for another pair in Pink Lemonade or Poison Ivy to cover every Summer situation.

Did I mention they have a little cat-eye action going on in the frames? Love that retro nod.

These sunnies are impact resistant. That's a definite win for me when I drop them poolside or in the parking lot at the beach. (And we all know I'm going to do THAT more than once!)

I love this classic style with the added benefit of UV400 protection and impact-resistant frames. Win-Win for me! (Photo credit: Knockaround.com)

Oversized Frames

You know you’re a movie star! Sometimes, you need to let people know with your sunglasses.

The slightly oversized Deja Views frames are all about style.

I like how the larger frames block the light and protect my eyes.

These sunnies are very good for beach days because they keep you're eyes protected from the wind and sand.

Bottom Line: My Recommendation

I really like the Deja Views. They're polarized, comfy, and stylish. They stay on my face when I'm moving — whether it's running or walking. I really like the extra lens space. The nod to a cat eye shape makes me happy. The dark amber lenses are polarized and keep my eyes safe. And, the impact-resistant lenses match my needs.

All in all, I'd recommend these sunglasses to anyone who's looking for eye protection and style. The good news is you can grab any style pair at a big discount this weekend.
