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...

Nice quality solid glasses with great lenses
Got these just in time for the 1 week Yorkshire summer and they’ve been great!
Good fit and feel and the quality is great too.
Additionally you’re getting a photochromic lens for the other 51 weeks of the year. :-)
I’m still not sure about them ,you always know you’ve got them on which isn’t a good thing in my opinion. They sit quite forward on your nose and the arms pinch . Got them as part of the jersey deal which I do like .
How many Squadron jerseys does one need? Well apparently it's one more than you currently own when the offer of free Shield glasses drops into your inbox!
The glasses are the same super high quality the guys at Spatzwear are known for.
I was particularly impressed by the photochromic lense that I used for the first time on a 200mile night/day ride meaning I only needed one pair of glasses for the whole journey which included rain, bright sunshine and the darkness of night.
Perhaps not the most svelte of shades, but if you are into all road cycling you might like how sturdy and robust the design is.
The fact that these came free with another purchase makes the price irrelevant but, if I had paid the full amount I would honestly be happy with them.
I just need a free pair of cargo shorts with my next jersey please!🙏🏻
They were free so theres that! Very very big on my small face though
