The Spy brand was created by the passion of a group of over-achieving
athletes and enthusiasts seeking a new visual perspective on technical
eyewear products. Our values are not bound by tradition, but based on the
core ideals of young-at-heart pioneers, those whose needs to express freedom
and innovation are stronger than the rules and conventions of the day.
Our Spy Brand DNA melds an action sports heritage with an affection for
fashion-forward styling. Constantly evolving the relationship between
material, function and design, our DNA generates an obsession with progress.
Spy finds itself at the intersection of retro-futuristic design and optical
innovation, while at the same time expressing it's identity through the
iconic minds, bodies and vision of the world's greatest athletes and
artists.
Born and bred in North County San Diego, Spy Optic's heritage is deeply
rooted in action sports. Legendary surf breaks, world-renowned skate parks,
and nearby mountains make our backyard the definitive product testing ground
for our employees and world class athletes. Our team riders dominate their
respective professions; surfing, snowboarding, motocross, skateboarding,
wakeboarding, and skiing. Spy mixes eclectic, organic and technological
elements of design with action sports and pop culture to produce a product
line and lifestyle that is unrivaled.
All Spy sunglass lenses meet the highest optical standards, protecting the
wearer's eyes 100% from UVA, UVB, and UVC rays. Spy's strategic commitment
to technology is unwavering, exemplified by breakthrough optical engineering
advancements such as ARC(r) Prismatic Polycarbonate lenses, and Delta
Photochromic(tm) lenses. Proprietary Scoop(r) venting frame design in both
sunglass and goggles, Gemini(r) snow goggle lenses, and interchangeable
Selectron(tm) foam in our moto goggles have all exceeded existing standards
in performance eyewear. Spy is protected by over 40 design and technology
patents pending worldwide and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Orange 21 Inc.
