Spy Optic The Fold Flat Sunglasses

Love them! Great build quality. Lenses look fantastic. Folds very nicely and compact too. Only con is I wish they were a tad darker and a tad more reflective, but to be honest they perform better this way than they way I want them to.

Overall, awesome. The temple hinge gets in the way a little when sliding the glasses up on your head. But they look dang good, and feel a MILLION (said in Macho Man Randy Savage voice) times sturdier than I expected.

Just received these shades. Quality 9/10 If the lenses were Polarized they would have been 10/10 but i could not find this color combination with polarized lenses. build quality is good, finishing is good, lens coloration is good.I love them. they look great on my oval face. A must buy !Ray-bans are now too common , I wanted something close but more edgy and skater profile. These Deliver.

This is my second pair of glasses from Spy optics and before these, I was a fan. My first glasses from Spy were a pair of Quanta's. I loved those glasses when I got them, and still love and use them to this day. Their fit is perfect, their lenses are distortion free, and they're comfortable to wear. When I purchased The Fold, I expected them to maintain the high standard that I had come to expect from the Quanta's. Unfortunately, they did not.The Pros:1. Pretty good looking glasses2. Smaller framed, making them a better choice for people with smaller than average faces (only in terms of looks, not comfort; they don't look ridiculously over sized on a small faced person).3. Happy lenses are actually pretty awesome.The Cons:1. Poorly optimized fit.2. Absurdly uncomfortable.3. Heavy.The real issue with these glasses is a matter of comfort; if I pay 70 bucks for a pair of glasses, I expect them to be comfortable, and remain comfortable, over long wear sessions. In this respect, the Spy Folds fail miserably. To start off with, these glasses, based purely on frame size, appear to be geared towards smaller faced individuals like myself. My brother, who has a face only slightly larger than mine, is unable to wear them, as the frame wont even fit around his head without bending.So, a pair of glasses geared for those of more delicate facial features. on the surface, that sounds great; it is unbelievably hard to find a decent pair of wayfarer style sunglasses if you have a smaller than average face, so this is one of the few pairs that appears to cater towards that minority. I say "appears" because, in reality, these glasses are completely so totally disproportionate in their measurements that only a tiny segment of the population could actually wear them.This is, in my opinion, mainly because of the bridge size, which is 20mm. For those of you unfamiliar with sunglasses measurements, it is enough to know that 20mm is an unusually large bridge size, with a more average bridge length being between 15mm to 18mm. Having a bridge this large on a normal pair of sunglasses would be weird, but having it on a pair of sunglasses that, in most other respects, seems to be geared towards small faces, is idiotic. The over sized bridge, combined with the weight of these sunglasses (they are very, very heavy) and the lack of any nose pads, causes them to slip down my nose continuously. It is worth noting here that my nose is not tiny. Actually, especially considering the size of my face, it is reasonably large. Nevertheless, these glasses slip down my nose.This leads to the rest of the problems with these sunglasses. Due to the glasses sliding down your nose, they fail to adequately block light coming from above (you know, where the sun is). this leads to horrific eye strain because glaring shafts of light are lancing directly into your eyes, which are trying to look through a dark lens.Also due to the nose slippage, the sunglasses are pulled into your ears at an awkward angle, causing uncomfortable pinching behind the ears for the first hour or so that you wear them. If you wear them continuously for over an hour, the slightly annoying tug turns into a nasty, raw feeling scrape against the back of your skull that, combined with the improper light blockage over the top of the lens, results in a horrific, blinding headache after about an hour and a half of wear that continuously worsens if you wear them longer. The end result of this discomfort is that I found myself unconsciously dreading putting on my sunglasses when I was driving, preferring to painfully squint into the light of the setting sun over putting these torture devices on my head.After purchasing these in March 2015 and wearing them through almost an entire long, Southern California summer, trying to convince myself they didn't suck, I finally gave up and let my sister have them for free. After one extended wear session she refused to wear them again because they were so uncomfortable. So this, my review, is a warning to any potential buyers out there: unless you have a small face and an enormous nose, don't buy these sunglasses. Or do, but don't blame me when the patented "Fold skull-crusher" headaches start to kick in. I wish I could love these sunglasses, I really do. They look great, and small framed glasses like this are a rarity, but I find them hateful. Shame on you Spy, for charging 70 dollars for a pair of sunglasses that are so horrible, I actually had difficulty giving them away. I swear I've picked up more comfortable sunglasses at trucker rest stops for 5 bucks.P.S. If you are in the market for a small framed pair of sunglasses, give the Smith Lowdown Slims a shot. They are by no means perfect, but they are worlds better than this garbage.

My son loves his sun glasses. He loves how it folds, the clarity of the lens and the overall quality of this eye wear.

Perfect!

Great sunglasses!
