HAPPINESS IS HERE! THE SPY® HAPPY LENS™

Good Rays Accepted, Bad Rays Rejected

CARLSBAD, Calif.—SPY® is happier than a unicorn at a ring toss to announce the arrival of the highly anticipated Happy Lens™—SPY’s patent-pending lens technology that not only improves vision and performance, but helps harmonize mind and mood alike.

SPY’s Happy Lens™ lets in the sun’s good rays that promote balance in the body—fostering a positive uplift in mood and alertness—while simultaneously blocking the bad rays. (This is about feeling better.) As an added bonus, it’s also a polarized and color contrast-enhancing lens, giving you the best visual experience possible. (This is about seeing better.)

If you’re eyes are ready to smile too, you can now find the Happy Lens™ at your local SPY dealer at www.spyoptic.com/dealers. Available only from your friends at SPY, the Happy Lens™ will be offered in your favorite styles along with several new frames so everyone can look better, see better and feel better. Whether you dig vintage-inspired frames or classic wraps, you’ll be happy when any of these Happy Lens™ sunglasses are riding on your face.

SPY Inc.: 
We have a HAPPY disrespect for the usual way of looking (at life). This mindset helps drive us to design, market and distribute premium products for people who “live” to be outdoors, doing intense action sports, motorsports, snow sports, cycling and multi-sports—the things that make them HAPPY. We actively support the lifestyle subcultures that surround these pursuits, and as a result our products serve the broader fashion, music and entertainment markets of the youth culture.  Our reason for being is to create the unusual, and this is what helps us deliver distinctive products to people who are active, fun and a bit irreverent, like us. It’s what makes us HAPPY, and our customers, too. Our principal products—sunglasses, goggles and prescription frames—are happily marketed with fun and creativity under the SPY® brand.
