Spy Goggles - Multiple Reasons To Buy

Spy Optics are a company that was developed because a group of sportsmen in San Diego were committed to technologically advancing the effectiveness and quality of sunglasses and goggles for use in extreme sports. Such advancements include ARC Prismatic Polycarbonate and Delta Photochromic lenses. Frames on their sunglasses and goggles also benefit from the Proprietary Scoop venting system as well as their other design and technology patents.

Spy Soldier is one of their ranges and comes in a wide variety of different coloured and hard wearing frames that have high definition lenses. Realistically speaking, I doubt the range would be as large unless the product was worth the investment.

Of course the primary purpose of sports goggles is safety for the eyes from snow, dust and debris in addition to protecting them from the suns harmful UV rays. For comfort and protection, Spy Soldier goggles have a triple layer of Isortion face foam and have pivoting strap hinges with adjustable silicone-ribbed straps to help keep your Spy goggles securely in place whatever sport you are participating in.

Spy Soldier goggles like other ranges of Spy goggles, give 100% UV protection against A, B and C rays which is of course important, however, you should also remember that the colour or darkness of the lens is not related to the level of protection, it is the clear outer coating that filters the rays and not the colour.

Spy Soldiers also have the Scoop ventilation to help avoid misting and fogging which as you may know, can be a big problem, particularly when you are only just learning to ski or snowboard. The 6-base ARC spherical dual lens also has anti-fog protection and are scratch resistant.

Many people believe that it is not necessary to buy designer goggles, and they are right. However, as far as is known, all the designer ranges do have the necessary quality required to protect your eyes. It is worth noting that they do need to protect their label and are unlikely to put anything on the market that would jeopardise their name.

Spy Soldier goggles are certainly not cheap, usually coming in around 100, but if you have heard the old adage, “you get what you pay for”, that saying has become popular for a reason - it’s true! Dont be fooled into thinking that all goggles are the same, they are not, and so make sure you get a good pair. They are your eyes, so protect them!
