Reviews

Should’ve bought this sooner! Light

"Should’ve bought this sooner! Light weight and comfortable. I wear this at work for 12 hours straight and sometimes I forget that I have them on. Looks great and I get plenty of compliments while wearing them. I highly recommend the Founders. Nothing but the best from Wiley X since my Iraq/Afghanistan days to now working offshore oil drilling."

I love the fit and

"I love the fit and the clarity. Mine are prescription (progressive bifocals) and I think you guys put the "reader part" to low. Its literally a very small portion that have to hold the glasses up to see through. I have another pair for work that transitions from clear to dark and they are perfect. I've had several pair (all prescription) and this is the only one Ive had this problem with."

"These glasses are amazing!! I’ve been an Oakley guy since day one, but these Wiley X Founders are tough!! I believe I found my new daily’s!! Rock on Wiley X!!"

The Jake's are decent but

"The Jake's are decent but ibwas kinda let down by the founders, I owened a pair of ypur glasses 8 years ago and I still have them thw build and polymers used are extremely durable they have lasted b3ing throw in packs, cargo pockets and repetitive exposure to the elements set rhe only thing that shows wear is the scratched lenses. After only a week of having the jakls and founders the arm of the founders cracked and all I did was had them In the soft case in a backpack on my motorcycle. Seems like as a company yall have went to better styling cheaper build quality and higher prices. Definitely gping to stick with gatorz and Oakley from now on"

Titus G. (2/5)

Poor design, high price for glasses that looses pa

"rubber nose piece, why would you make it a replaceable rubber, and no one knows where or how to get the replacement piece vs making them with a plastic nose guard that doesn't fall off in the 1st 60 days of wearing. I'll never buy this brand again."

Nathan (1/5)

These are the best, and

"These are the best, and they’re built properly. I have two pair ow and I’m very happy with them. Also I have to say your service rep did me a solid which took the purchase to a personal level. Thank you very much!!"

Dave L. (5/5)

I really like these glasses.

"I really like these glasses. They fit really good for having a big head and cover my eyes properly. I have not tried the side shields yet."

Wade M. (5/5)

Shipped and was delivered quickly.

"Shipped and was delivered quickly. Came with a sticker and stickers with packages are awesome. The glasses fit great and are comfortable. I've been wearing them (with the side shields installed) on my motorcycle everyday paired with a 3/4 helmet. I don't have "eye flutter" anymore and the glasses don't slide down my face like many others do. A great pair of sunglasses."

Brian P. (5/5)

Very Happy with my purchase,

"Very Happy with my purchase, enjoy the color of the lenses and perfect fix for me. The matte finish of the frames very nice. Very happy overall with these sunglasses."
