I have had many an occasion when eyes in the back of my head would have been beneficial. Walking to the bus stop in the morning only to see the bus zoom past me from behind is one of the major annoyances of my day. However, with these Spy Sunglasses, I'll know exactly when to break into a run to make my 9:30am meeting.
These sunglasses look as stylish and unassuming as any other pair of sunnies, but they allow you to see what's going on behind you thanks to a special reflective coating on the inside of the lenses. All you need to do is take a quick peak out of the corner of your eye and you have the benefit of a rear view mirror, but just a touch more subtle than the one that's in your Datsun. Thankfully, unlike many fashion sunglasses, these still do exactly what a pair of sunglasses should do by shielding your eyes from the sun with 100% UV protection.
Shoulder-checks on your bike may become a thing of the past, and even walking around will be safer as you will always know if there's a car coming up the street just as you're about to step onto the road. These Spy Sunglasses are also a great safety item as you can always keep an eye (sorry) on who's around you and make better judgments if you sense someone is following you.
Apart from the practical uses, just imagine how cool you will be at your next BBQ when you demonstrate your new clairvoyant ability to describe in detail what Alistair is doing behind your back. All in all, a great and affordable concept available from £9.99 at Urban Junkie.
