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...

These are without doubt nice glasses but the problem I have is the glasses do not fit in the soft cloth protective bag that arrived with them. The bag is to protect the lenses but it is just not fit for purpose, I cannot understand why put the bag in if it is no good.
After 7 years of Oakley Jawbreaker, I think I will never wear them again. The SHIELD by Spatzwear are the best glasses i've ever worn !!
The quality of the materials isn't bad, but mine are crooked, which means they're uneven.
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☺️
