We featured Knockaround Sunglasses here on Silodrome a few months ago and they were hugely popular, for those who’ve never heard of them – they’re UV400 proof sunglasses with FDA approved impact resistant lenses that only cost $25 USD each.
The benefit of this low price point is that if you happen to lose them, it isn’t a big deal and buying a replacement pair won’t break the bank. The styling is Wayfarer-esque, which is never a bad thing and the UV400 protection means you aren’t damaging your delicate little retinas whilst wearing them.
Ben Branch has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, the official Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Silodrome was founded by Ben back in 2010, in the years since the site has grown to become a world leader in the alternative and vintage motoring sector, with millions of readers around the world and hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
