SPY Optic Screw Sunglass Review

Over the last year I have trained and also raced road, criteriums, and Cyclocross using SPY's Screw sunglasses. During this time, they have become my favorite cycling glasses and I have purchased a few sets as well as gotten my friends riding in them as well.
SPY offers a variety of models in their newer Performance lineup, and we are actually sponsored by them this year (something I pushed for after my experience with them last year). The Screw is the flagship shield model but shares many of the fit characteristics with the other models too. If shields are your thing, they offer the Alpha with individual lenses and the Quanta with full frames as well.
In addition to the great fit, all 3 models are crazy lightweight, something you really notice if you come from Oakley glasses like I did. The Screw are almost 1/2 the weight of the comparable Oakley sunglasses, and that is definitely something you will notice at the end of a long day in the saddle!
Rubber grips on the nose and the end of the arms provide a solid hold, and the venting on the arms and lenses keep your eyes happy and lenses fog-free. To make things even better, the arms fit into helmets quite well, so you can tuck them in without trouble.
I am interested to try the new Daft model, but that will be another day.
Get yours at a local bike shop, or order direct from http://www.spyoptic.com/collection/performance
With all these great features, I can see how SPY continues to grow their Pro roster with former National Champ Matthew Busche, current National Cross Champ Jonathan Page, Dave Zabriskie, Nicole Duke and more!
