I love sunglasses.  It is a problem, I know.  I wear sunglasses year-round. I cannot tell you how many pairs of sunglasses I own.  I often wear them to match my outfits.  But when I am running, I wear them for comfort and practicality (keep sun, rain, snow, wind and debris out of my eyes).  

When given the opportunity to test Knockaround Sport Collection Sunglasses, I jumped in on the action, immediately.  

I first had the opportunity to test Knockaround Fastlane Sunglasses in 2019 and fell in love as I was surprised how they stayed put on my nose, even during the sweatiest of runs.  The Knockaround Sport Collection Sunglasses are no different and I enjoyed giving this pair a try. 

I selected the Spearmint/Sunset Knockarounds, thinking that although this is a color I like, chances are I would probably never order for myself.  Funny story:  The sunglasses matched many of my favorite running tops. 

Again, the glasses stayed put and offered enough room on the top of my ears for my AfterShokz, allowing me to not be blinded by the sun and listen to my audio book, simultaneously.  The quality of the sunglasses is also impressive as I sat on them, while getting into my car, last week, and they did not break.  I tend to be a little harsh on my sunglasses as although I kept this pair in the little bag they came in, they were often found at the bottom of my bag, under my labtop, wallet, keys, etc.  Still they managed to survive.

Review: Aftershokz Aeropex

Disclaimer: I’m promoting the AfterShokz Aeropex as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to find and write race reviews.

As a BibRave Pro, I had the opportunity to try out the AfterShokz Aeropex, just a year and a half after trying out the AfterShokz TrekzAir, which is when I joined many other BibRavePros singing the AfterShokz Praise. 

The packaging was very user-friendly and with one quick charge, I was ready to take the Aeropex on an inaugural run.  The case was easy to open with a tab to pull and the accessories were in simple-to-open clear plastic bags.  Included with the Areopex was a charger cord, ear plugs, a rubber case and a two-year warranty card. Unlike the TrekzAir, the rubber case did not have a zipper but rather a magnetic clasp, which tended to make it a bit more difficult to cram everything into and close, but with patience, it was doable.  

Surprisingly, the Aeropex are even lighter than the TrekzAir.  Wearing with hats and sunglasses is no problem and the system stays put and does not move.

The set up was crazy easy and intuitive (I never even looked at the instructions).The charge cord is magnetic and is much easier to plug into the system than that of the TrekzAir, which is similar to a Kindle plug.  Both go into a regular USB style charger and then into an outlet.  

Overall, I am very impressed with the Areopex.  I still like my TrekzAir, but the Aeropex are now my favorite.
