Polarised & Floating Sunglasses for Life on the Water
Anyone who spends time paddleboarding, kayaking, boating, or enjoying watersports knows that ordinary sunglasses and water don’t always mix well. One moment they’re protecting your eyes from the sun, the next they’re heading for the bottom of the lake.
That’s where the Jobe Knox Floatable Glasses come in.
Designed specifically for watersports and outdoor adventures, these stylish Jobe floatable sunglasses combine UV protection, comfort, coverage, and a buoyant design that helps prevent them from disappearing beneath the surface if they end up in the water.
Available in four colour and lens options, the Knox range offers a choice of polarised and non-polarised sunglasses, allowing you to choose the perfect pair for your adventures.
Available Options
- Black Frame – Polarised Lenses
- Silver Frame – Polarised Lenses
- Blue Frame – Non-Polarised Lenses
- White Frame – Non-Polarised Lenses
Whether you’re paddling your local canal, exploring the coastline, or spending the day on a boat, the Knox glasses are designed to help you see clearly and stay comfortable.
Built for Paddleboarding & Watersports
Unlike everyday sunglasses, the Jobe Knox Floatable Glasses have been developed with watersports in mind.
The floatable construction means that if they accidentally fall into the water, they’re designed to stay afloat rather than sinking straight to the bottom.
For paddleboarders, kayakers, sailors, and boaters, that’s a feature you’ll hopefully never need, but you’ll be very glad the float if you do.
Ideal for:
- Paddleboarding
- Kayaking
- Canoeing
- Boating
- Sailing
- Beach days
- Fishing
- Outdoor adventures
UV-400 Protection for Your Eyes
Sunlight reflects strongly off the water, often making conditions feel much brighter than they do on land.
The Jobe Knox features UV-400 lenses, helping to protect your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays while reducing eye strain during long days outdoors.
Whether you’re enjoying a summer paddle or spending hours on the water, proper eye protection is essential.
Benefits of UV-400 lenses:
- Blocks harmful UV rays
- Reduces eye fatigue
- Improves comfort in bright conditions
- Suitable for prolonged outdoor use
- Helps protect long-term eye health
Polarised vs Non-Polarised – Which Should You Choose?
The Knox range offers both polarised and non-polarised lens options.
Polarised Lenses (Black & Silver)
Polarised lenses help reduce glare reflected from the water’s surface.
They are ideal for:
- Paddleboarding
- Fishing
- Boating
- Coastal adventures
- Bright sunny conditions
Many paddlers prefer polarised sunglasses because they make it easier to see the water surface and reduce eye strain.
Non-Polarised Lenses (Blue & White)
Non-polarised lenses still provide excellent UV protection while offering a more traditional sunglasses experience.
They are popular for:
- General watersports
- Beach use
- Everyday outdoor activities
- Casual paddling sessions
Designed for Comfort All Day Long
There’s nothing worse than sunglasses that constantly slip, pinch, or feel uncomfortable after a few hours.
The Jobe Knox Floatable Glasses feature a comfortable wraparound design that provides excellent coverage while remaining lightweight and easy to wear.
The large lens design offers increased protection from sunlight, wind, and water spray while helping maintain clear vision during activities on the water.
Secure Fit with Adjustable Head Strap
One of the standout features of the Jobe Knox is the included adjustable head strap.
This flexible retention strap helps keep your sunglasses securely in place during active watersports and can be adjusted to suit different head shapes and sizes.
Key benefits include:
- Improved security on the water
- Reduced risk of loss
- Adjustable fit
- Comfortable wear
- Suitable for a wide range of face shapes
It’s a simple addition that makes a huge difference when conditions become more active.

Comfortable fit
Adjustable head strap
Large protective lenses
Polarised and non-polarised options

The Jobe Knox Floatable Glasses combine practical watersports features with stylish looks and reliable sun protection, making them an excellent addition to any paddleboarding or watersports kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the polarised and non-polarised versions?
Polarised Lenses (Black & Silver)
