Knockaround's Mile Highs is the budget answer for buyers who want the aviator shape and polarized lenses without spending $200 or more. It costs $35, has a metal frame, polarized lenses and 100% UVA/UVB protection, and comes in Small/Medium and Large/XL sizes, which is more sizing choice than many budget frames offer. Knockaround advertises a lifetime warranty and 45-day hassle-free returns, the longest return window on this list, and ships free on orders of $50 or more. The colorway we checked was Gold with Aviator Green lenses. What you give up is documentation: the page we checked does not list lens material, coatings or millimeter measurements, so it is hard to compare optics with Randolph's AGX glass or American Optical's SkyMaster glass. At this price it suits a spare pair for the car, the beach or travel where loss is likely. We compared documented features and published prices; the Mile Highs scores highest on value and lowest on documented quality.
