Hey guys. I was wondering if you could tell me what's so special about the spy "happy lenses". How do they compare to Oakleys or other mainstream brands. Thanks

I have them and I love them, the new Oakley prism lenses (I think that's what they are called) are basically the same tho. my mom worked in a optometrists office selling all sorts of brands and she says Oakley is mostly brand hype. just go to a shop and see what fits your face best man

I have them and a can notice a difference from past goggles Ive used. Im not a fan of oakley goggles, nor have I used them, but I think the prizm lenses are top notch.

They are nice and on par with Smith, Oakley, Julbo etc. Dark ones are pretty nice for sunny days and the light ones were very nice in the snow. Full disclosure I got my Ace Happy set from SPY for free. They are my favorite gogs right now but it is still nice to have glacier glasses for when it is really bright and dedicated clear goggles for nighttime.

Ive only put them on in shop and they seem nice, I use Oakley prizms and they certainly make a huge difference in flat light which my mountian commonly has. If they are similar to the oakley lenses they'd be great

Love them. Have the Bravos and three happy lenses with them and couldn't be more stoked. Hookit (yeah i know its stupid but eh) gives you a 40% off deal with SPY so the lenses are like 20 bucks a pair and the goggs themselves are under 100. Overall, the happy lenses give me better clarity than my other goggles/lenses and I have a feeling that theyre more scratch resistant but idk about that. Overall, top notch stuff and would recommend.

Wait so "hookit" gives you 40% off lenses? I could use some clear ones for my marshalls. Thanks dude

I honestly hate going outside without my happy lenses. Wish they were polarized though
