"These sunglasses are a perfect blend of style and functionality. The fit is exceptional, making them comfortable enough for all-day wear. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable, everyday eyewear option. Polarization is great when fishing, and I can tell Wiley used the best material."
"I ordered these because I thought it would be easy to transition them from daily wear to safety glasses for work. The side shields click in and need a tiny little tool to remove them. They don’t just slide in and out. If you lose this tiny little tool that fits on your fingertip you’re SOL. Oh well I guess they will just stay as permanent safety glasses."
"The lenses are stellar. The frame isn't as comfortable as I expected. That isn't the styles fault, I think there needs to be a better way to understand how they fit. I am going to return them"
"I am writing to express my disappointment with my recent purchase of the WX Founder. I have been a loyal fan of Wiley X for years — I currently own two pairs of your sunglasses, one of which is also the Founder model. Because of my positive experience, I decided to buy another pair of the same model to use with my prescription lenses. Unfortunately, this version of the Founder has not met my expectations for daily use. The plastic nose protector and the temple covers have detached after a short period of wear. I even had to adapt a temporary plastic piece to the temples to prevent discomfort. This issue has made the glasses unsuitable for everyday use, which is disappointing given the brand’s reputation for durability and comfort."
"They came with a couple scratches on the left lense. I reached out about it, but never heard back. I dont notice the scratches when i'm wearing them, so i dont really care. Dont really have the time to go full karen about it, but i'll probably go with a different brand next time. I will say the rated eye protection is a very nice selling point, tho. They're still pretty nice glasses."
"These are my favorite every day and on-duty Sun glasses. I bought this product about a year ago. They’re comfortable, durable and the lenses are easy to clean. I appreciate the quality of this product and I will likely buy another pair. The only pitfall to these glasses are the nose pieces. They’re made of rubber and are not replaceable. One of mine tore off while cleaning the glasses and this issue is not covered by warranty. Just one thing to be considered. Glued it back in place but hopefully these will be replaceable in the future. Overall, exceptional glasses."
"Had the glasses for a year now, they are great glasses for safety, shooting, fishing, and just all around sunglasses. Also, the reason I came to write a review is the rubber nose cushion came off and I sent a warranty to Wiley x and they just didn’t send the nose guard they sent me the hole frame in less then a week. I am now going to be a lifetime customer great company."
"I go out of my way to find excuses to go outside and wear them. Excellent lenses and comfortable frames!"
"Glasses are pretty decent. Lenses have a small blurry spot in them( Both pairs). Kind of funny that AFTER I order 2 pairs your company bombards me with sales adds. Should have offered that from the beginning. Oakley did, probably send them more business."
"Great sunglasses! They are very comfortable and light weight. I own different brands such as Maui Jim, Costa, Shady Rays and so on. So far, these are more comfortable and the polarized lenses are the same quality if not better. The shatterproof lenses also give me a peace of mind when I’m doing things outside like hunting, hiking and yard work."
