The design brief for the brand new Spatz "SHIELD" glasses was very simple: To design and engineer eyewear which offer more protection and a better field of vision than any other glasses on the planet; with particular focus on when you are cycling in an aggressive / aero position.
Developed purely for cycling (and being worn in a cycling position), Spatz "SHIELD" glasses offer a sphere of vision and a level of protection that we have sought in cycling specific eyewear for decades. No longer will your vision be impeded by your glasses frames as you hunker down into an aero tuck. No longer will debris spray up into your eyes, right when you require razor sharp vision to rail the next apex. Road racing: Check. Gravel: Check. TTs: Check. Technical Crits: Check. SHIELD has got you covered.
Developed and tweaked through countless renders and physical prototypes, the new Spatz "SHIELD" glasses are designed by lifetime racing cyclists to create eyewear that you will wear from the very start to the very finish of your race/ride.
The pivotal design feature of the new Spatz "SHIELD" glasses is the position and rake angle of the lenses. The frame architecture has been specifically engineered to allow the lens to sit in an optimal position in relation to your eyes, cheekbones, eyebrows and nose. When we ride a bike (especially in an aggressive/aero position), our requirements for eyewear changes dramatically; our head tilts downwards and our eyes focus upwards towards the horizon. We have engineered eyewear which represents a seismic shift from what has been available. Until now.
The Spatz "SHIELD" glasses transmit a feeling of visor-like protection and strength. You are truly shielded from the elementz...

Perform exactly as described, I would definitley purchase again.
After beeing an Oakley fan all my life i was pretty sceptical after purchasing the Spatz Shield Glasses. I bought the transparent ones when they were released and immediately fell in love. I then bought every other color available because…well because i like glasses and i like colors😂🫣
Only „downside“ is there are no black or white ones….yet☺️
I hesitated and nearly missed out. I should have known these glasses would be exactly what I needed. I have several pieces of Spatzwear clothing and haven’t been disappointed yet.
I’d been looking at glasses as my current pairs were constantly needing to be adjusted whilst riding. Eventually took the plunge in what I can now say is a great sale price deal.
As with all the other stuff I’ve bought they do exactly what Spatzwear say they do. Great fit ( 2 nose pieces to get it just right) helps. Great all round vision and they genuinely don’t move whilst riding.
Quality is great, looks, ( which are subjective) in my opinion are great despite appearing huge in the website.
Quality materials and supplied with extra lens, cleaning cloth, two nose pieces, hard case and glass cloth bag too.
A lot of gear for an excellent price. Might have to get a spare pair, just in case I need them. 😂😂.
Excellent glasses
Superb fit and well made bought to replace anther brand which snapped whilst riding. Great lens and works brilliantly in poor weather. The fit is perfect, I wear a Kask Utopia helmet size large. Looking forward to using the summer lens when the weather improves.
