QUOTE:
“My new Atlas is similar to my first signature sunglass, the Fold, in that it’s lightweight and packs well,” says John John Florence. “I was especially stoked on the neoprene sunglass leash that comes with each pair, and the option of premium Happy Glass™ lenses. I’m also excited that SPY coordinated the launch to time perfectly with the release of my new film, View From a Blue Moon, since both are all about the experience of traveling the world.”
HAPPY LENS:
SPY’s color and contrast enhancing Happy Lens is the first and only lens technology designed to allow in the sun’s “good” rays (long-wave blue light) that studies suggest create an uplift in mood and alertness, while still blocking the sun’s “bad” rays (short-wave blue light and UV rays). Research indicates that exposure through the eyes to these “good rays” brings about a number of positive physiological changes, including elevated mood and increased alertness. Similar technology is used by lighting manufacturers in products designed to help with Seasonal Affective Disorder. SPY has a patent pending on this “therapeutic eyewear” and is the only eyewear company with this advanced technology.
