Disclaimer: I received the Knockaround Fast Lanes Sport sunglasses to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews!
I will be very honest. I have never really been a sunglasses person. At least not until I became a runner. Now it seems as though I do not go anywhere without them!!
I was given the opportunity to test out the new Fast Lanes and lets just say...so get ready for a full 5 stars!
Being a BibRave Pro, in general, there are many perks that I am grateful to be a part of. In Chicago during Summit, I received a special release pair of the Knockaround Premiums and loved them. The Fast Lanes I was given to test were the Sport version, a bit of a different style frame then the premiums but I still loved them as much as the ones I already had.
Lets start with why I like Knockaround:
Affordability. #1 reason right there. They are high-quality sunglasses but without the hefty price tag.
Color options! All the yes to being able to find sunglasses that look great but are offered in an array of color/pattern options.
Customization! I actually just ordered my first pair of custom Knockaround sunglasses. You can choose each and every part of the sunglasses(front, arms etc.) in any style/color/pattern/finish you would like. Right down to what color Knockaround Logo you would like on them.
Back to the Fast Lanes Sports. This testing opportunity came at the perfect time as I had quite a few training runs as well as races on the schedule. And with the MN/WI weather about to give us a go on "which season are we in today?" I was excited to see the difference in some of the features this style offered and how they performed given temps/precipitation.
From the Knockaround website:
Clean cut, rectangular purple lenses take center stage on these Fast Lanes Sport shades that incorporate matching purple embedded rubber nose pads in the frame. With the addition of nose pads, you can take these shades on your next run or any other outdoor adventure without worrying about slipping, sliding, or bouncing. In addition to being polarized to reduce glare, our lenses are FDA approved impact resistant.
If you need a pair of affordable and stylish sunglasses that are perfect for your active lifestyle, our Sport Collection will help you go that extra mile.
Glossy clear jelly frames
Purple K logos
Purple rubber nose pads
Polarized purple mirrored lenses
Super lightweight polycarbonate material
UV400 protection
FDA approved impact resistant lenses with laser etch logo detail
Protective pouch included
With having prescription glasses I wear on a daily basis it may seem silly to try to convince you how amazing these sunglasses are given the fact they are not at all prescription. I guess I am just the silly one that doesn't mind that these sunglasses fit directly over my regular glasses. And they are so lightweight that I cannot even tell I wearing two pair. The Fast Lanes style is also so sleek. They really can be worn with every day clothes, or while you are out on a run. The non-slip nose pads worked amazing in warm/cold and wet weather. No slip, no fogging up! There are by far my favorite style to race in.

I own quite a few pairs of Knockarounds myself. But after the Fast Lanes Sport came out, the beau has a pair, we have ordered them for the kids (Yes! They have kid size sunglasses) and I even ordered a few extra pairs myself. The UV protection they offer is something the entire family can benefit from using them year round. And the fact they are so affordable, why wouldn't you want a pair in every color!!
