Title says it, I'm looking to pick up a pair of one of these two brands, and I wanted your guys opinion on which you think is better. I was kind of leaning towards the Stun's because they have polarized ones, but what d you guys think?

my friend was sponsored by Stun for a while, they're pretty sturdy. I've never seen Knockarounds, but I can't imagine them being too durable. I'll stick with my Ray-Bans.


inb4 people bashing me for dropping $200.00 on sunglasses. you get what you pay for.

I don't see why people would bash you for buying nice sunglasses. In fact, I think most people would agree that you get what you pay for.

No they're 15 bucks. Buy some Costas, you'll spend extra money, but the quality of the frame and lenses is amazing. Not to mention they have some of the best polarized lenses in the world. Moral of the story, Costas > Raybans > Oakleys >>>>>> any sunglasses that cost less than 20 bucks.

ive looked at both these brands before but they both suck at shipping to canada

does anyone know any similar brands that are canadian / can be shipped to canada cheaply?

cuz knockaround wanted ~$30 for shipping which is dumb for $15 glasses

I know this site loves them but seriously, fuck knockarounds. they suck. one thing to keep in mind is that instead of the outside edge of the lens coming straight down, it curves inward toward the nose piece a lot. so they look like old lady glasses. Just my opinion. and no, the lens isn't polarized i dont think

I have a pair of stun glasses and they are decent. you get what you pay. I think that both of the brands are probably pretty similiar

I have Ray-Ban eyeglasses too, so whichever pair I'm not wearing, I stick them in the hard case and either in my backpack or my truck.

fort knocks are definitely nicer. better built and a bit bigger. I like the premiums because you can remove the arms from the frame and make sick combos. ive got the neon green and citrus yellow swapped

Knockarounds are tiny and I found out the hard way they aren't returnable! STUNs are sick - better quality by far and polarized for $30 is sick.

My Fort Knocks just arrived today, they're pretty sick. The guy above me must have one massive face because I think they're perfect. And I have a pretty big head.

Just came out with their first pair of polarized but they sold out. I bought another pair that got here today in 3 days. Great customer service too. I would definitely get Knockarounds I love mine.
