I am a recent San Diego transplant from the frozen wintry ponds of the East Coast. I came here knowing full well what the change in weather would be like. Basically, less gloves and more sunglasses. What I didn’t know was a clear domination of Spy brand sunglasses over all others. I had never even heard of them prior to landing on these sun-lit shores. Now, I know that everyone who is in the “know” owns a pair of Spy Sunglasses.
Spy Sunglasses were engineered to be for those who dabble in extreme sports and need sunglasses that will perform for them just as they perform for their sport. They’re designed to stand strong against the elements of the weather. For example, if you want to go white river rafting or snowboarding, you won’t have to worry about the water or snow hitting your eyes. Because of this aim, the performance variety of Spy polarized sunglasses tend to look like they are a bit futuristic and some are too blocky for my taste.
I did find out that there are Spy Sunglasses for people who don’t want to look like they’re going to a rave circa 1990. These selections are more feminine and smoother than their famous sunglasses. I think I would go for this make if I do end up buying some Spy Sunglasses. I’m tired of standing out like a sore thumb as the “newbie”.
