SPY Happy Lenses

spy ansi safety glasses with happy lens technology

Before we get into the list, we want to talk about SPY's lens technology. Happy™ lenses block out the blue light that causes harm to your eyes, while allowing in long-wave blue light, which improves your mood. You can never have too much happiness in your life!

The science behind Happy™ lenses not only lifts your feelings and alertness; it improves your vision clarity as well. These lenses enhance color and contrast, resulting in a more defined surrounding. Best of all? You can get Happy™ with prescription safety-rated lenses.


Best SPY ANSI Safety Glasses

It's bro time and showtime! Check out our top ANSI approved SPY safety sunglasses below.

Spy Bounty ANSI

Starting our list is a SPY safety classic, the Bounty ANSI. Fully protective and fully stylish, you can't go wrong with this medium fit. It includes a ton of features you didn't even know you've been looking for — like a virtually indestructible frame, Accurate Radius Curvature (ARC) lenses that minimize distortion, and a covert look.
