The Knox is a matte black frame with red temples and red polarised mirror lenses that make a statement without trying too hard. A bold look that still works whether you're out on the water or just dealing with a bright NZ summer.
The red mirror finish knocks back intense overhead light while the Category 3 polarised lenses cut reflected glare from water, roads and bright surfaces underneath. Both doing their job at the same time.
A close, secure fit that suits an active lifestyle without looking purely functional.
Size: 13.5 cm wide x 4.5 cm high.
Reflected glare off the water surface makes it harder to see fish, read currents or spot hazards. Cutting that reflection makes a real difference. Read our guide to polarised lenses for fishing in NZ.

Polarised Lenses
New Zealand sun is some of the most intense in the world, and standard tinted lenses only solve part of the problem. They darken the view but leave the glare. iPOP polarised lenses have a built-in glare-filtering layer that targets the specific type of light that causes the problem in the first place.
How polarised lenses work
Glare happens when sunlight bounces off a flat surface, water, wet roads, a car bonnet and hits your eyes as a concentrated horizontal beam. Your eyes struggle to process it, so you squint, strain, and lose visual detail in the process. Polarised lenses block that horizontal light before it reaches your eyes, so surfaces become readable again rather than a wall of reflected brightness. On a typical New Zealand summer day, the difference is noticeable within minutes of putting them on.
Where it makes a real difference
DrivingCuts glare off wet roads and oncoming windscreens so you're not squinting into the morning sun
Fishing and waterSee below the surface instead of staring at a mirror of reflected sky
Beach and outdoorsReduces the all-day eye fatigue that builds up when everything around you is reflecting light
Sport and activitySharper contrast and truer colours so you can read terrain, track movement and react faster
