Loved the design. But, it's
"Loved the design. But, it's made small. Then i read that the customer is responsible for paying the return label. Yeah, glad (not really) that I only ordered 1, not 3 like I wanted to originally, as a test run."
WX Alpine
The WX Alpine isn’t just built for performance, it’s built to take over. Aggressive by design, this frame means business in the harshest conditions. The low-profile polymer frame is lightweight but refuses to break, and semi-hooked temples grip like a clenched fist, locking in when the action kicks up. Rubber nose pads and temple tips keep it glued to your face, whether you’re tearing through terrain or grinding through the mission. And when the heat rises, Venturi Suction technology optimizes airflow to prevent fogging during intense activities like cycling, running, or tactical operations.

"Although they are a steep price, the lenses easily scratch! The first time the glasses slipped off my face from sweating, they fell about 3 feet before hitting the ground and the lenses are now toast. Better off getting cheaper safety glasses at an affordable price in bulk. No matter the amount of money you spend, lenses are lenses. I requested a refund but lens scratches are not under warranty which are going to be anyone's main issue with Wiley's glasses. Everything besides the lens from this company are the bomb!"
"The glasses itself is great. Though I expect the lenses to be more in the brown than close to gray on the color scale. The customer service respond is great, however it sucks that I could not canceled my purchase when I contacted before it got shipped out. The customer service also responded before the item got shipped out, and they could not cancel it which is stupid. If you’re gonna have policy that we cove r the shipping fee if we return, then at least be able to cancel the order if we contact before it shipped. This is the first and last time I make purchase from here."
"Truly great glasses. One of the best I've ever owned. The clarity is excellent and they're extremely comfortable. As soon as I put them on I knew I made the right choice. These are my second pair. Have an older pair that I use for yard work. Both are great glasses."
"The Alpines are the most comfortable pair of Wiley X I own absolutely love this design and the CAPTIVATE lenses are crystal clear. The nose piece is extra grippy and great fit. The high quality of the frames with the Venturi suction and vents are pretty much fog proof as well."
"I love the fit and look. This my second pair with the Tungsten lenses. These are great wrap-around sunglasses for high-sun and great outdoor use. They are very comfortable to wear all day and should handle all conditions. I also own a pair of non-polarized tungsten Bravo glasses which I use for driving. And a pair of Breach with Bronze lenses for hiking since it has the face cavity to keep out dust and pollen."
"I like them overall but the only thing I would change is the same thing i disliked about the other 2 pair of wiley x i have. The ear pieces. They are a better design but they are not soft enough for all day wear. The really start to irritate the ears after a few hours. I had to install silicone sleeves on the other pairs to make them wearable. I might have to do the same with these. Who thought sharp angles and hard materials was a good idea for the ear pieces?"
"Outstanding protective eyeware for any and all work and leisure applications. My WX Alpines is my fifth pair of Wiley XThat I use on a regular basis. WX has an easy process to get prescription glasses made as well. A great company with a superb product."
"Good fit ,comfortable. I really like the lenses with the polarization, and tint"
"These have been the best sunglasses I've owned. I needed ballistic-rated prescription lenses for upcoming trips to the desert and the jungle. Great coverage and very lightweight."
