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...

The best photochromic glasses ever, you don't even realise you've got them on! Love them 💕
Very pleased with my purchase especially being on offer. Was initially worried about the size but very pleased i decided to go for the glasses. They are big but with the helmet on they look the part and become as one. They are not in contact with the helmet. Photochromic lens works perfectly in these winter months and teested in Portugal on sunny 23 deg days this winter. Haven't tested normal lens yet but expect to be good in summer. Green colour is very cool.
I’ve now worn with the photochromic lenses for a short daylight to dark evening ride and then a 80 mile misty then rainy then sunny day ride. No steaming up at junctions, handles the rain excellently, great visibility and protection on descents, enough room to wipe sweat from my eyes on the ascents. So glad I bought these for these alone. Build quality looks excellent and I found them very comfortable on a 6 hour ride. I’ve a small face but had no issues with the fit or interaction with the helmet.

I have followed the progress of Tom’s innovation in his company and products. I own quite a few pieces and all of them are class leading. So, when SpatzWear released the SHEILD I had to try them. One again Tom and Spatz have nailed it, the fit me and my helmets perfectly, the lenses are fabulous, the performance is spot-on and the styling is off the chart. I normally use Oakley and Castelli over Assos and Rapha but personally I think Spatz are always a step ahead of the game.
Keep it coming Spatz. I am not affiliated with or paid by SpatzWear, this is just my personal opinion from buying and using SpatzWear’s products.
