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.
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.
