| | Spy Sunglass Technology : TOP SECRET |  |
| The Spy Sunglass Frame Technology | PROPIONATE:
Spy is one of the few action-sports companies to offer high quality fashion frames in propionate. Frames crafted in propionate feature a smooth, dense finish that is comfortable on the face. Some of our propionate frames are fashioned with adjustable wire-core temples for a custom fit.
EPSYLON:
Epsylon is a comfortable composite plastic with a high tensile strength, allowing for the unique hidden hinge systems found in several of our new fashion frames. Epsylon is lightweight and very resilient in a wide range of temperatures. |

MONEL ALLOY:
Monel Alloy frames utilize an engineered alloy of three metals to produce lightweight and pliable, yet strong, frame. |
| |
GRILAMID:
Spy’s Scoop® frames utilize Grilamid as the predominant frame material. Injection-molded Grilamid is an exceptionally lightweight sport material that is shatter-resistant and remains pliable in all weather conditions. Scoop® frames incorporate Hytrel rubber on the temple tips. Hytrel rubber is a unique hydrophilic compound that increases in tackiness when wet. |

SCOOP® VENTING SYSTEM:
The patented Spy Scoop® venting system eliminates sunglass lens fogging by increasing airflow behind the sun glass lens. The Spy Scoop® system forces air through strategically placed vents of varying aperture on the sun glass frame to reduce fogging by creating what’s known as a Venturi effect. The Venturi effect is a phenomenon where air accelerates and reduces air pressure, as it is forced from a larger area to a smaller area.
Spy Scoop® technology is protected by five U.S. patents. Spy Scoop® is a registered trademark of Spy Optic, Inc. U.S.
Patents 5,610,668; 5,898,468; 5,810,805; D470,882 S. Other patents pending. |
