DEAN KARNAZES FACES ONE EXTREME RUNNING CHALLENGE AFTER ANOTHER
WITH HELP OF WILEY X® EYEWEAR
3,000-Mile Run Across America, Meeting First Lady Just a
Few Highlights From Fast-Paced Year
When it comes to extreme fitness and endurance challenges, Dean Karnazes doesn’t run from anything. When others might slow down, this world famous “Ultramarathon Man” has picked up the pace, literally pounding the pavement from coast to coast to motivate people towards a more active and healthy lifestyle.
Many people are cross-country runners, however, Karnazes took the term literally earlier this year. He embarked on his Run Across America campaign, promoted through the immensely popular Live With Regis and Kelly television show. During his amazing 3,000-mile run — which began in Southern California and ended this May in New York City — Karnazes visited with schools, youth groups and civic leaders across the country to educate Americans about the importance of exercise and play. He even had the opportunity to run through the White House to meet with First Lady Michelle Obama, herself a champion for youth fitness and health education.
“We are very proud to be associated with Dean and to know that we play a role in his amazing accomplishments,” said Wiley X Co-Owner Myles Freeman, Jr. “Whether he’s out on the road, running a backcountry trail or speaking before thousands of kids, Dean is always a goodwill ambassador for a healthy, active lifestyle — and proof that no challenge is too great to overcome,” added Freeman.
Karnazes’ incredible achievements of fitness and endurance back this up. He has finished a grueling 135-mile ultramarathon through scorching 120-degree heat in Death Valley, California and plowed through snow and negative 40-degree temperatures while completing a marathon to the South Pole. Whether he’s training for an upcoming challenge, competing in a race or running across the country to share his message of fitness, Karnazes meets extreme conditions — and faces them head-on with the help of
Wiley X sunglasses.
“The protection and visual clarity my Wiley X glasses provide are very important to me, whether I’m competing or training for my next big challenge,” said Karnazes. “When I’m on the road, I encounter every kind of condition. On the same day, I could run through blowing dust, flying insects and the full spectrum of light from dark and stormy to glaring sunlight. I trust Wiley X to keep my eyes comfortable and my vision sharp, so I can really ‘focus’ on my running,” Karnazes added.
Wiley X is the only premium sunglass manufacturer with stringent ANSI Z87.1-2003 High Mass and High Velocity Impact Test ratings on every pair of glasses it makes. This distinction provides outdoor adventurers and extreme athletes with the confidence to take on any challenge.
The remainder of 2011 will be no less action-packed for Karnazes. Along with numerous speaking engagements around the country, he will compete in North Face Endurance Challenge events September 16-18 in Madison, Wisconsin, October 13-16 in Atlanta, Georgia and December 2-4 in Northern California. He also plans to compete in the Chicago Marathon October 7-9 and the world-renowned New York City marathon November 4-6. Wiley X will be there every step of the way.

WILEY X® EYEWEAR RECOGNIZES IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTING AGAINST
DRY EYE SYNDROME
Climate Control™ Sunglasses Reduce Common Dry Eye Symptoms Aggravated
by Environmental Factors
Doctors know Dry Eye Syndrome as Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, a common
medical condition caused by a reduction in natural tear production that afflicts
many Americans. Those who suffer from it know Dry Eye Syndrome in a
different, more practical way. They know the itchy, sore eyes and blurred
vision that can distract them and prevent them from performing their best.
They also know that dry eye symptoms can be aggravated by a range of
outdoor environmental conditions like dry air, wind, pollen and
airborne debris.
Wiley X Eyewear knows a thing or two about combating Dry Eye Syndrome,
providing its specialized protective eyewear to soldiers, industrial safety
wearers, professional fishermen, top NASCAR drivers and others who depend on their vision in challenging
environments. Wiley X developed its Climate Control™ Series of sunglasses with a removable Facial Cavity Seal™
that blocks out wind and airborne irritants and creates a comfortable environment for the wearer's eyes. This
patented soft foam seal conforms to any facial structure, providing protection against even the finest particles or eyedrying
winds, whether riding a motorcycle, mountain biking or blasting across a lake. Wiley X's unique design also
prevents peripheral light intrusion, for superior optical clarity in all conditions. Wiley X's Top Down™ Ventilation
facilitates airflow, keeping the wearer cool and preventing fogging, even during strenuous activities.
Wiley X offers a range of Climate Control Series models to suit a wide range of activities and outdoor enthusiasts.
Among them is the new Wiley X Curve, specially designed to provide a secure fit and comfortable protection for youth,
women and others with narrow faces. Each Climate Control model meets stringent ANSI Z87.1-2003 high velocity
and high mass impact safety and optical performance standards — the same protection provided to U.S. military elite
Special Forces units around the world. In fact, Wiley X is the only premium performance sunglass manufacturer
whose entire line meets this coveted rating. Wiley X's entire Climate Control Series is also Rx ready, making it an
ideal choice for corrective lens wearers needing protection against the discomfort and hazards of Dry Eye Syndrome.
“Dry Eye Syndrome is a serious problem—especially for people who work or play in dry, dusty, windy environments,”
said Wiley X Owner Myles Freeman, Jr. “By enveloping the wearer's eyes in a climatically controlled 'cocoon,' our
Climate Control Series greatly reduces evaporation of natural tears and protects against the elements. The result is
improved comfort and clear vision, even in the harshest environments. When you're comfortable and your vision is
clear, you can concentrate on what you're doing.”

line of high performance eyewear for work and play —visit online at www.wileyx.com.

WILEY X® EYEWEAR SUPPORTS NATIONAL SPORTS EYE SAFETY MONTH
Company’s ANSI-Certified Sunglasses Keep Athletes Safe and On Top of Their Game
April is Sports Eye Safety Month across America, and Wiley X® Eyewear is proud to support this important
effort to raise awareness and educate the public about preventing sports-related eye injuries.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, tens of thousands of sports and recreation-related eye injuries
occur each year — many resulting in permanent vision impairment. For this reason, the AAO is using Sports Eye Safety
Month to stress the importance of wearing protective eyewear when engaging in a wide variety of sporting activities.
For more than 25 years, Wiley X Eyewear has specialized in protecting people’s vision under some of the most challenging
conditions on Earth. Each pair of Wiley X sunglasses meets the stringent ANSI Z87.1-2003 rating for high velocity and
high mass impact and optical performance standards. To earn this certification, Wiley X frames and lenses must withstand
repeated strikes from a .25-caliber projectile fired at 150 fps, as well as the impact of a pointed, 1.1-lb. projectile dropped from a height of 50 inches.
Protection like this has made Wiley X a leading provider of protective eyewear for elite U.S. military forces in action
around the globe. It also makes Wiley X an ideal choice for protecting professional athletes and weekend warriors against dangers
to their eyes on the field, on the court or in the great outdoors. “Every sport presents different dangers to the participant’s vision —
whether it’s a 90-mph fastball or airborne debris kicked up while mountain biking,” said Wiley X Eyewear Co-Owner Myles Freeman, Jr.
“Proper eyewear needs to not only protect the eyes against these dangers, it must also enhance the athlete’s overall performance.
To meet the needs of athletes, glasses must be comfortable, lightweight and provide the visual acuity needed to excel at every sporting activity.
We’ve designed our advanced eyewear systems with this in mind,” added Freeman.
For example, Wiley X’s popular Climate Control™ series features a patented, removable soft foam Facial Cavity Seal with Top Down™
Ventilation that seals out wind, dust, debris and reflected light while preventing fogging during the most strenuous sports activities. With the
company’s many eyewear models to choose from, athletes can find the perfect combination of performance and protection for all endurance sports.

WILEY X® INTRODUCES VERMILLION LENS FOR ITS CHANGEABLE SERIES
SABER ADVANCED™ SYSTEM
ANSI Z87.1-2003 Certified Protection Meets Superior Visual Acuity for Competitive Shooting
Wiley X® Eyewear knows that you can't be a sharp shooter without sharp vision. This is why the company recently
introduced a shatterproof, Selenite™ polycarbonate vermillion lens for its Saber Advanced™ eyewear system, bringing a new
dimension of protection and visual clarity to this popular Changeable Series model.
This new vermillion lens is specially engineered to improve visual contrast, sharpness and depth perception,
particularly in flat light and hazy conditions. This makes Wiley X's Saber Advanced with the new vermillion lens
ideal for trap and skeet shooting and sporting clays. The most demanding competitive shooters and shooting sports
enthusiasts will appreciate the enhanced ability this new lens provides to acquire, track and hit a target in
challenging conditions.
The Wiley X Saber Advanced is designed for shooting sports and other tactical situations. For example, it is
specially designed for use with hearing protection. The sturdy temple arms remove quickly, and can be replaced
with a snap-in elastic strap to both reduce pressure on the sides of the head and ensure a secure fit during heavy
action. This lightweight design also features an Ultra Foam™ Brow Bar to keep sweat and debris off your face, dual
injected non-slip adjustable temples and a tailored nosepiece that adjusts to various size noses for a secure,
comfortable fit.
The Wiley X Saber Advanced is available in a single lens version or a
three-lens package that includes the vermillion lens together with a
smoke grey and light rust lens. Plus, just like Wiley X's standard issue
protective combat eyewear, it comes complete with a deluxe zippered
tactical case with belt loops. This affordable system (only $65 with all
three lenses) provides the ability for shooters to quickly change lenses
for top performance in any environment or situation.
Whichever lens you use, the Wiley X Saber Advanced provides a full
field of view, wrap-around coverage and Wiley X's trademark High
Velocity Protection (HVP™) technology. This advanced eyewear meets
stringent MIL-PRF-31013 military ballistic standards (U.S. Military
Combat Eye Protection) as well as ANSI Z87.1-2003 high impact certification (OSHA Occupational Eye Protection).
In addition to advanced impact protection, Wiley X's lenses also provide 100% UVA and UVB protection. Plus, the
new Saber Advanced boasts a 3.0 mm lens – the thickest in the industry. This level of performance and protection
has made Wiley X a leading supplier of eyewear to several tactical and elite Special Forces units around the globe.
The Wiley X Saber Advanced also offers an optional Rx plug-in that is ideal for shooters who require
corrective lenses.

battlefield-proven protective eyewear —visit Wiley X Eyewear at

WILEY X® SUPPORTS PARALYZED VETERANS AS THEY CAST AND BLAST
THEIR WAY THROUGH A COMPETITIVE 2011 SEASON
Veteran-Owned Company Sponsors PVA National Trapshoot Circuit and PVA Bass Tour
Wiley X® Eyewear has announced its 2011 sponsorship of two important programs
that allow paralyzed veterans to compete against each other and other outdoor
sportsmen in exciting shooting and bass fishing events around the country.
Wiley X will be providing thousands of dollars worth of its performance protective
sunglasses to both the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) National Trapshoot
Circuit and the PVA National Bass Tour. Wiley X glasses will be featured prizes at
prominent PVA shooting and bass fishing events throughout the 2011 season.
In PVA National Trapshoot Circuit events, shooters with disabilities and able-bodied
shooters compete as equals in the fun and competitive sport of trapshooting—
shooting at clay targets hurled upwards to simulate the flight of a game bird. This
year's schedule of events around the country marks the 15th annual circuit for this exciting and tightly competitive
event. Among the other notable sponsors for this unique series of shooting competitions are Cabela's, Winchester
Ammo, SKB Shotguns and Leupold Optics.
Wiley X will be providing winners, staff, directors and volunteers for the PVA National Trapshoot Circuit with its new
Wiley X Guard and Wiley X Saber Advanced tactical eyewear. Wiley X will also be part of the prize package
recognition for the season's high-scoring overall shooter, high-scoring wheelchair shooter, and the winner of the
Chad Crowley Award, for the highest overall PVA Voting member who is a veteran.
Both the Wiley X Guard and Wiley X Saber Advanced combine unparalleled protection with the ability to quickly
change lenses to match shooting conditions. This advanced eyewear meets stringent MIL-PRF-31013 military
ballistic standards (U.S. Military Combat Eye Protection) as well as ANSI Z87.1-2003 high impact certification
(OSHA Occupational Eye Protection). In addition to advanced impact protection, Wiley X's lenses also provide
100% UVA and UVB protection. This level of performance and protection has made Wiley X a leading supplier of
eyewear to elite military units around the globe. Because Wiley X is the only premium sunglass brand that certifies its
entire line to exceed ANSI Z87 standards for safety, every pair of Wiley X glasses provides the same high standard
of protection.
Wiley X will also be joining the likes of organizations like B.A.S.S., Bass Pro Shops, Minn Kota, Tracker Boats and
Humminbird in its sponsorship of the PVA National Bass Tour. Wiley X will provide its polarized protective eyewear
for tournament staff, directors and volunteers, as well as tournament winning anglers and the overall Angler of the
Year. The PVA Tour consists of seven tournaments, each consisting of an Open/Team competition for anglers who
wish to compete from a boat and a Bank Competition for anglers who prefer to fish from shore.
Wiley X polarized sunglasses provide the same level of protection found in its tactical eyewear, protecting anglers
against everything from airborne debris and low-hanging limbs to flying lures. The advanced fish-spotting
performance of these glasses have made Wiley X the choice of many top professional anglers, including Bassmaster
Classic champion Skeet Reese and 2010 Angler of the Year runner-up Edwin Evers.
“As a veteran owned company, we're very proud to support Paralyzed Veterans of America and all of its efforts,” said
Wiley X President of Sales Myles Freeman, Jr. “Shooting and fishing are two great American pastimes and an
excellent way for people to enjoy the great outdoors. These events put on by PVA provide disabled veterans and
others with a chance to share and enjoy these life-affirming activities, all in the spirit of healthy competition. We're
honored to present these brave sportsmen and event organizers with our products,” added Freeman.

WILEY X® SPONSORED SHOOTER PATRICK FLANIGAN BREAKS OWN WORLD RECORD
Young Top Gun Shoots From the Hip and Breaks Seven Hand Thrown Targets
Wiley X® Eyewear is proud to announce that one of its top sponsored shooting superstars has just surpassed his own incredible world record.
Xtreme Shooting virtuoso Patrick Flanigan raised the bar he himself set, during the recent filming of Shooting USA’s “Impossible Shots” TV
show, with a new world record: a mind blowing 7 hand thrown clay targets from the hip with a pump shotgun.
The 31 year-old Flanigan had the shooting world’s collective jaws dropping when he originally did what they thought couldn’t be done, breaking
six hand thrown clays in a row, but now seven is the number to beat, and he’s probably the shooter who will eventually make it eight. But in
the meantime, he and his sponsored eyewear team at Wiley X are thrilled with the amazing victory.
“The record I broke is for throwing seven clays by hand and shooting each with a separate shot from the hip with a pump shotgun,” said Flanigan.
He also plans on breaking several more world records over the next few months and attributes much of his success to his advanced equipment.
“My Wiley X Black Ops Revolvr glasses help me see with the kind of clarity and consistency I absolutely rely on to set records in any conditions.
Trusting my sight to anything but the best is not an option.” Thanks to Wiley X, shooters are no longer limited to traditional shield style
shooting glasses as Wiley X is the only premium sunglass manufacturer that certifies all of its products to exceed ANSI Z87.1-2003 high velocity
and high mass impact standards and surpass strict OSHA safety ratings. Not to mention, all Wiley X Changeable Series lens models stand up to the
much more stringent United States military VO ballistic standards as combat protective equipment, so shooters know they have the right High Velocity
Protection™ (HVP™) eyewear tailored for extreme safety and style.
Flanigan is no stranger to the extreme — extreme achievement in shooting sports during extreme conditions, and pushing himself to the extreme in
other sports. During his incredible career he has broken eight Xtreme Shooting World records, including shooting 12 shotgun rounds in 1.42 seconds.
When he’s not breaking targets and world records, he “relaxes” as a black belt in karate and setting Guinness Book of World Records feats in
drumming.
“Patrick is an incredibly versatile athlete, and personifies the spirit of high performance and high excitement that we create our glasses to honor,”
says Myles Freeman Jr., President of Sales for Wiley X. “He pushes the limits of what’s humanly possible, and he’s not slowing down for anything.
We’re proud to be a part of his amazing career and are excited to see what else he will achieve in changing the face of the shooting sports world.”

WILEY X SABER ADVANCED™ DELIVERS UNMATCHED LEVELS OF PROTECTION
Industry Leader’s Changeable Series Is ANSI Z.87.1-2003 Certified and Meets Combat Eyewear Specifications
Whether you’re a shooting sportsman, an outdoor enthusiast or an American worker, you’ll need to be ready to adapt to meet a wide range of changing environments. That’s why
Wiley X® has been developing new ways to constantly evolve and enhance its battlefield proven designs — and for two decades has been trusted by top shooters, US workers and those who protect our freedom worldwide with the best tools possible. Now the newest addition to the company’s Changeable Series, the Wiley X Saber Advanced™, provides unparalleled protection and visual acuity tailor-made for hunting, shooting sports and safety applications in the factory and in the field.
The veteran owned and operated company recently achieved ISO 9001:2008 certification as part of its commitment to continually advance its own stellar manufacturing processes. And with the Wiley X Saber Advanced, it meets stringent MIL-PRF-31013 military ballistic standards (U.S. Military Combat Eye Protection) as well as ANSI Z87.1-2003 high impact certification (OSHA Occupational Eye Protection) — so it delivers the maximum protection available in any set of eyewear. In fact, with the thickest lens in the industry (3.0 mm), it’s also the best value at just $38 MSRP for a single lens set or $45 MSRP with 2 lenses, smoke grey and light rust.
The system comes with a single lens package, with a choice of smoke grey or clear lenses and matte black frame, or a two-lens option with both smoke grey and light rust lenses. The unique design provides wrap-around protection that not only delivers Wiley X’s signature ballistic impact resistance, but also provides 100% UVA and UVB protection. Its amazing lenses are also made of shatterproof Selenite™ scratch-resistant polycarbonate with High Velocity Protection™ (HVP™) to present an unencumbered field of view.
And since the field of view might require ear protection as well, the Wiley X Saber Advanced is ready for action literally and figuratively — with design features that allow quick transitions to comfortably pair with hearing protection earmuffs. For instance, the sturdy temple arms remove quickly, and can be replaced with a snap-in elastic strap to both reduce pressure on the sides of the head and ensure a secure fit during jarring runs or rides. For even more versatility, the Wiley X Saber Advanced has an optional Rx plug-in that will soon be available to seamlessly fit most prescriptions; an Ultra Foam™ Brow Bar to keep sweat and debris off your face; and a tailored ‘take flight’ nose piece to adapt to a wide range of nose shapes and sizes — so it stays right in place, too.

ALL NEW WILEY X SABER ADVANCED™ BRINGS A NEW FACE OF PROTECTION AND PERFORMANCE
Latest Addition to the Famed Changeable Series Packed with Unparalleled New Enhancements
Operating in tactical environments demands the ability to evolve and change to meet a wide range of potential threats. Which is why industry leader Wiley X® has delivered the world’s most cutting edge products to serve and protect those who fight for our freedom, and part of the company’s approach to excellence is based on continual improvements based on R&D and direct feedback from the field. Enter the newest addition to the company’s edgy Changeable Series — the Wiley X Saber Advanced™ — which takes its own well-deserved reputation for unmatched protection and visual acuity and kicks it up a notch.
Veteran owned and operated Wiley X recently achieved ISO 9001:2008 certification as part of its ongoing commitment to continually advance its existing top-of-the-line manufacturing processes. Wiley X is the only premium sunglass manufacturer who certifies all of its products to exceed ANSI Z87.1-2003 high velocity and high mass impact standards. Honoring that enviable heritage, the new Wiley X Saber Advanced meets stringent MIL-PRF-31013 military ballistic standards as well as ANSI Z87.1-2003 high impact certification (OSHA Occupational Eye Protection) — with a solid 3.0mm thick lens — the thickest, most durable lens available in the tactical eyewear market. These lenses are made of scratch-resistant and shatterproof Selenite™ polycarbonate, and are backed up with the company’s signature High Velocity Protection™ (HVP™) to present an unencumbered field of view.
This diverse new offering comes with five versatile lens systems, so it can be tailored to meet the widest array of field applications on the planet. From the hard core new Saber Advanced X2 system, road and range ready with two complete interchangeable systems in one — with both smoke grey and clear lenses, to the Saber Advanced Model #309, with its unique smoke grey/light rust/vermillion lens package, this new series from Wiley X is created to protect the eye in any environment. Each of the systems has an Ultra Foam™ Brow Bar to keep sweat and debris off your face, unbreakable matte black frames, and a rugged, well-engineered design providing wrap-around protection that not only delivers powerful, battlefield-tested ballistic impact resistance, but also provides 100% UVA and UVB protection. Even with all of these industry-leading features, it’s also the best value on the market (Single Lens Systems #302 and #303 have an MSRP of $38.00, while the Saber Advanced X2 has an unbeatable suggested retail price of $72.00.)
Many tactical situations are best dealt with using protection for ears and eyes, so the Wiley X Saber Advanced is designed to allow seamless transition to effectively and comfortably pair with over-the-head hearing protection earmuffs.

your skill level to your gear—to be both safe and successful. And with
the latest top-of-the-line addition to the acclaimed Wiley X Changeable
Series™, the Wiley X Guard™, you're able to dial in the perfect high
performance lens option to fit any condition or application
in seconds.
The Wiley X Guard is a low profile, lightweight system that brings
heavy-duty protection along with unmatched versatility. It comes with three unbreakable lenses, Smoke Grey, Clear
and Light Rust, that snap in and out of the sturdy Matte Black frame, to provide the perfect solution for changing
needs of true hunting and shooting sports enthusiasts. Wiley X® is trusted by those who serve and protect our nation
across the globe, thanks to industry-leading features like High Velocity Protection™ (HVP™), which exceeds stringent
ANSI Z87.1-2003 high velocity impact safety and optical standards. True to its versatile design, these ANSI-certified
lenses are even Rx ready, and can be filled with a prescription safety lens, so you can have the ultimate in protection
with your own prescription, giving you that necessary edge when you're looking down the barrel.

T-Shell™ Hardcoat, so they'll stand up to the abuse rained down on them from seasons of use on the
hardest hunts, and hours on the range. Wiley X doesn't recommend trying it at home, but these amazing lenses are
also tested to withstand the impact of a .25” steel ball fired at 150fps from all angles. Plus, the system also passes
the Military spectacle impact standard MIL-PRF-31013, comprised of a .15 caliber projectile traveling at a minimum

debris and you can keep your eyes and your concentration on the job at hand.

NEW WILEY X® SCISSOR™ LOOKS SHARP, CUTS THROUGH
GLARE AND HARMFUL UV RAYS
Latest Addition to Men's Street Series™ Combines Fashion-Forward Italian Design
With Proven High-Velocity Protection For Every Outdoor Activity
Vision protection leader Wiley X® Eyewear has unveiled its new
Scissor™ for 2010 — the latest addition to its popular Street
Series™ line of fashion performance sunglasses. And while this is
one sharp-looking pair of new shades, it also delivers the visionenhancing
qualities and proven high-velocity protection demanded
by a wide range of outdoor sports enthusiasts.
Whether it's boating, fishing, hiking, climbing or trail riding, the Wiley X Scissor's ability to cut through glare and
eliminate harmful rays greatly reduces eye strain and helps outdoor enthusiasts see better, play harder and stay more
comfortable in all light conditions. The Scissor features Wiley X's eight-layer Filter 8™ lens technology, providing
100% polarization combined with 100% protection from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. This technology virtually
eliminates reflected glare, for enhanced visual acuity and improved ability to “read” water or terrain conditions. It also
provides the highest level of protection against serious eye damage that can result from long-term sun exposure
during outdoor activities.
Wiley X is a leading provider of protective eyewear to the U.S. military — and this commitment to protection is evident
in every product the company makes. The new Wiley X Scissor features a nearly indestructible frame and High
Velocity Protection (HVP™) Selenite™ polycarbonate lenses that exceed stringent ANSI-Z87.1-2003 standards for
High Velocity Impact protection. This is shatterproof OSHA-grade occupational eye protection — meaning that the
new Wiley X Scissor can protect action sports enthusiasts against anything the outdoors throws their way, from flying
lead sinkers to low-hanging branches to airborne debris.
Wiley X recognizes that all the protection in the world won't help if you don't wear it, so it gave the Scissor a fashionforward
Italian frame design that goes from the boat to Broadway without missing a beat. Thick polished black frames
(with metallic temple accents) provide an attractive contrast to Wiley X's Blue Mirror polarized lenses. This unique
blue mirror surface over a green (rather than grey) lens tint increases contrast between varying shades of green water
or vegetation — a distinct advantage when sight fishing. Wiley X also offers the new Scissor with attractive and
understated non-polarized Smoke Grey lenses. The Scissor's curved frame style is designed for optimum coverage
and a secure fit during strenuous outdoor activities. It also provides exceptional all-day comfort for wearers Medium
to Large head sizes.
These stylish shades are also RX ready, making them an ideal choice for outdoor sports enthusiasts who happen to
be prescription eyeglass wearers.
