| SPY Optic, Inc. (SPY) is
based in north county San Diego, just minutes from
perfect surf, legendary skate parks, and a short drive
to the mountains. Taking advantage of our location, SPY
employees regularly surf, skate, wakeboard, motocross,
mountain bike, and snowboard. We are the ultimate
free-spirited company, mixing assorted eclectic organic
and technological elements of design with action sports
and pop culture. SPY invests heavily in research and
development and regularly develops technical product
with action sports' best athletes: surfers Keith and
Chris Malloy, Keala Kennelly, snowboarders Mark Frank
Montoya and Todd Richards, skateboarders Rob Dyrdek and
Danny Way, Motocross legends Kevin Windham and Jeremy
McGrath, BMX riders Jamie Bestwick and Cory Nastazio,
Wakeboarders Parks Bonifay and Danny Harf, and MTB
athletes Sam Hill and Chris Kovarik. SPY's strategic
commitment to technology is unparalleled. Breakthrough
optical engineering advancements such as ARC™
Prismatic Polycarbonate lenses, Trident™ Polarized
lenses, and the patented Scoop™ frame design clearly
set SPY apart from the competition. Spy is protected by
37 design and technology patents pending worldwide.
Unlike many other sunglass brands who shoot out their
frames hundreds at a time on conveyor belts in China,
SPY's styles are designed in California, genuinely
hand-crafted in Italy, and undergo an elaborate
manufacturing and quality control process. Every color
fade on a sunglass or goggle is hand-painted by an
Italian artisan. In addition, every Spy logo on an
optical product is hand-painted or hand set as well. All
SPY sunglass lenses, including the Clear Fade, protect
your eyes 100% from UVA, UVB, and UVC rays. SPY's
optically corrected ARC technology lenses are also
hand-finished in Italy. |
