Lost my knock off sea speck sunglasses due to a kiteloop gone wrong. probably a part of river now? But it was pretty close to land might just wash up.

Not to hijack...but. Sorry you lost your specs! Wondering how you liked the knockoffs. I want to pick up a pair but figure I'll loose them so would rather buy the less expensive ones. You dig em?

knock offs are nowhere near as good...usually not polarized.
I have kitelooped my fair share of knockoffs to the bottom of the river. They sink and stay sunk.

I second kitecrazy, I think also the not so knokoff is still not so functional. They fog up quick and are not halfway kiteloop proof.

I hope that the knockoffs are happy and socializing down there.

I bought a knockoff off ebay and it was indeed polarized. Haven't tried it on yet as I haven't lost my current pair (yet). Probably won't happen for a while as I discovered that wearing a helmet doesn't let the specs slide off your head.
