Spy Helm 2017

The Happy Lens on these really raises them above and beyond the standard Wayfarer style offering. Even with sensitive eyes, the bronze polarsied/green spectra Happy Lens kept my eyes comfortable riding on the glaciers this summer where usually I ride with a much lower VLT.

I did have an issue cracking one of the plastic hinges, the metal hinge on the Atlas, the other model I used, is definitely superior in terms of solidity and durability. But I can't claim to have been particularly careful with them and even with the crack, I can still snap them back together and ride with them, which I do. These are my go-to skiing sunnies.

They are on the larger side for a wayfarer which I prefer as they keep more light out and still fit my medium face comfortably, whereas the aforementioned Atlas slipped on my nose more than I'd like. Basically, I'm stoked, I rocked these for a season and they did a great job.
