SPY Optic designs performance sunglasses, snow and moto goggles, helmets and prescription eyewear from Carlsbad, California, founded in 1994 by action-sports entrepreneurs including Mark Simo, Brian Simo and Beaver Theodosakis. Product centers on Happy Lens technology, which filters short-wave blue light while transmitting long-wave light, plus the brand's cross logo and wraparound frames.
