Spy Optic

Purchased over $ 400 on Black Friday. Offer was supposed to include a free wallet. They did not send, would not offer, and further demanded return shipping on me. Never again. False advertising.

I love my spy glasses they have quality lenses and stylish frames and are light weight. The customer service was excellent fast shipping. Great company to do business with. Highly recommend them.

Best customer service in the warranty department. The girl Jennifer that helped me was friendly and helpful. I will be a SPY customer for life now!

The most unique one day cycling event in the country. Created and designed to mimic the European classic Paris-​Roubaix aka The Hell of the North. The BWR is also called Hell of the North… County.
Each year getting progressively harder and a steady 30% attrition rate, yeah that’s higher than all the Ironman races, and marathons Sans only ultra races at elevation. I’ve seen more broken bikes and riders along this race than all my triathlons combined.
It’s also the most fun with the full support of Spy Optics and Lost Abbey brewing among the major sponsors it’s becoming a who’s who of cycling companies and communities. Train all year, train in paranoia because they don’t release the course until very close to race day.
They now cap the races due to popularity, people coming from Australia, San Francisco and New York come here because it’s 1 of a kind.

I went directly into the warehouse here for a question and they girl at the desk was extremely helpful and nice. They have glasses on display to try on and buy directly from here. They also have a discounted rack that you can buy from too. The discounted glasses are all white, so you have to be into those to benefit from them. They have discounts for civil servants of all types at the location in La Costa. This location does not usually do repairs. Staff is very friendly and I will be back. Spy is an awesome company. They have hammocks and picnic benches out front of the building for their employees. I can always appreciate a company that cares about their employees.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
I purchased online back in Nov because I got a specific email with code for 40% off when my order went through I only got 20% off. I emailed and called and heard nothing for months. Finally got a hold of someone today and they admitted that the wording was wrong that it should of said some prices online already reflect 40% off and you will only get additional 20% off and that there is nothing they can do for me. In my business when we make a mistake we still honor it or at least offer then something as a sorry we messed up. I read the flyer absolutely correct their marketing team forgot to put that wording on it. Not my fault. I didn’t do anything wrong so why am I being punished. I guess my business means nothing. Which is sad because I like their sunglasses but anyone that treats someone like this when they were the ones that made the mistake is no good in my book.

As a cyclist for over 30 years I’ve tried and tested a multitude of sports performance eye wear… SPY Optics (Daft and Screw) are the first pair of performance sunglasses that I can fully endorse as ideal for cyclists. The frame grips comfortable for no-​slipping even while sweating. The lens have excellent visual acuity — and in particular the new Happy Lens… the frames/​lens are super durable, lightweight, and comfortable. Best of all though is the Customer Service that SPY Optical provides… they are prompt, thorough, and strive to do everything possible to resolve any issues or questions. Most recently, I had an issue with a pair of Daft — caused by my own mis-use…and SPY immediately sought to replace my glasses for me! And on top of it all, SPY is a major supporter of our local cycling community — providing products, sponsorship, and even sponsoring numerous large organized rides for the cycling community — which always include give-​aways and other gifts. Just a great company with great people and great product.

Awesome customer service and superb glasses. Specials for military, police and firemen.

Spy is a fantastic company and they make great products. I’ve used their sunglasses for riding and their goggles for skiing. Really great lens quality for a great deal less than the other products I’ve used.
The company is full of active cyclist who are passionate about the sport. They do a ton of great work for local charities and non-​profits. Really good people.

The entrance into the building/​store was the most awkward experience I have had in awhile. There were two young gals chilling out on the top of the counter greeting me and my wife. Although the cases were directly to the right and the business aspects were up the stairs to the left, and behind them through a doorway, they looked at us as if we had stumbled into the wrong shop. There was a friend or two (or patrons that visit frequently, or worker bees) that was hanging out in the glasses shop, and a father with his young son at the counter paying the glasses. We said hi, and got the automatic, what do you want, hi in response. My face must have looked either troubled or confused… in fact it could have been both because I began to question what on earth did we do to deserve such treatment. I then began to look around to make sure we were in the right place. We literally did not get pass the mat at the front of the entrance doors when the girls decided to give us their rehearsed spill that we can browse, but if we weren’t civil servant members we couldn’t buy anything from them; however, if we wanted to try them on and go to the closes Spy store (located in the Carlsbad Outlet) we could totally do that.
I have nothing against Spy sunglasses I have own Spy’s for the last decade and a half; with my most recent pair that lasted five years of brutish international travel and fun in the sand and surf. But, the customer service alone was enough for me to walk out the doors. The civil servant only was fine, but I wish Unilocal or the company’s website would have specified that tiny bit of important information. Instead of wasting time and petro to get to the location.

I personally think that Spy has some of the best sunglasses for men. They are not over-​priced and over-​rated like Oakley. The styles are very cool and not too stylish.
I do have to say, their customer service is outstanding. I spoke with Carla who works at the Carlsbad headquarters and she was very nice and professional. I can tell that she genuinely wanted to help me and cared about my inquiry. Major kudos to Carla for making my Spy sunglass experience an excellent one!

I like Spy sunglasses but the only time worth buying for me is during the bi-​annual warehouse sale. The sunglasses are good for a casual pair that you wouldn’t mind scratching but I tend to rely on Oakley for endurance and dependability. Their snow goggles are top-​notch though!
This location is fairly small the staff are mostly helpful (though sometimes manikins) but the sales are unbeatable. I recently scored some $ 179.95 Apollo snow goggles for about $ 20. With a gold mirror mosaic lens and cheap lens replacements, I am set for years.
— Small
— So/​So Staff
— Amazing Sale Prices
— Quality Ranges From Junk to Epic

I have a few pair of SPY Sunglasses! And love them all! For some reason I keep ending up buying a new pair of Coopers! I’m on my 3^rd pair now! Keep on losing them or someone accidently takes them… pretty popular line I guess.
I love how my SPY’s fit and look. Defiantley got that
. flavor to them! More of the that sporty-​laid back look. They are based in Carlsbad so they know whats up! They make some really good quality sunglasses and aren’t that expensive. You can a dope pair for like $ 150 and up — and they’re polarized!
My lastest purchase from them were some Snowboarding Goggles which were only $ 25. Yup that’s right, only $ 25bucks for some SPY’s! I saved 77% on them! They have this «Unreal Deal Of The Week» that they send to my email. Most of the times they have some weird style shades or googles that aren’t really my flavor, but the one’s I got are pretty cool!
I put the order in on Wed and got them on Friday. Wouldn’t expect them to get here any later than that, being they’re only up in Carlsbad. So If you’re looking for some great deals, or just like SPY like I do, sign up at their website (
) and have them send you the «Unreal Deal Of The Week» Who knows, you might come up on some dope shades or some proper ass snowboarding goggles like me!
…I just hope I get to use them soon! The season is almost OVER!!! LOL!

Maybe I’m a bit slow but can I review an e-​commerce website on Unilocal.Help me out folks.
As it is I love the glasses, though I lost a pair on a business trip in Arizona. Believe me, there is a special kind of pain after staying up late drinking red wine and they up early to drive to the airport without the shades.
Check out their website
for the «unreal deal of the week» a great way to restock on cool shades at a very good price.
Big ups to the shades
Down to me for being a bit lunk-​headed

I used to really love Spy. I had 2 pairs of Scoop HS, a pair of Micro Scoops and a couple of lens kits. When I purchased my second pair of Scoop HSs, the frames started delaminating almost immediately, the blue coating coming off of the frames in pieces. When I contacted Spy about getting a replacement under their lifetime warranty, they told me that the warranty was not valid as I had purchased the glasses online. Even though they came with a warranty card in the original box (!). Their lame customer service made sure I’ll never buy another pair of sunglasses from them. Brilliant!
