"Great glasses. Got my prescription correct. The vibrant colors and polarization are a step up from my other pair. My only complaint is anti fog. Idk if there’s a coating I paid for but I was sent a little bottle of anti fog solution? I guess. Idk if it was worth the extra $45. But either way, I’m happy with my purchase. Will be back for other pairs eventually."
"I've been wearing Costa's for better part of 20 years now. I just broke another pair and of course they don't make my favorite frames anymore (or parts). Decided to use my military discount and try out the Founders. Couldn't be happy with my purchase! I work outside 50+ hrs a week in direct sun and Wiley X is setting the new standard!"
"They fit nicely but I do wish they were slightly bigger frames. Nice and lightweight glasses that feel durable but time will tell. Haven’t shot in lighting that they were needed yet but I’m sure they’ll work when I do. Even only having them a few weeks I still would recommend them because they are pretty solid so far."
"I just received my shades today and as soon as I opened the package I was not disappointed! From the fit to the overall look of the glasses I was impressed! I love my new shades and will be getting another pair soon !"
"One star solely because of the shipping experience. No tracking number was provided, so I had no idea where my glasses were or when they would arrive. It’s 2026—tracking should be standard and obvious. I honestly started wondering if my glasses were being forged at Mount Doom. The frames themselves may be fine, but the lack of communication and tracking made the whole purchase unnecessarily frustrating."
"The frame is very comfortable. No need to add nose pads or anything. The frame is lightweight and doesn't bother my nose over hours of wearing them. The lenses have proved to not scratch easily. Best shades I've had in over a decade."
"Picked up a pair of the blue lens with crystal grey frames exclusively for fishing. The blue lens offers great sight on open water especially with bright light conditions. However, I do want to point out that the crystal grey frames were a little counter intuitive. As with transparent frames that I've had in the past, the sunlight creates a glare through the frame which is pretty bothersome as it shines directly into your eyeballs. The blue lens founders do not come with any other frame, so a custom built a pair is a must if you don't want to have a glare through the frames. The nose bridge sits perfectly on my face, and I did not have any discomfort. The rubber injected pieces are in all the right places. All in all, these shades are amazing. Getting the crystal frames and then complaining about it is 100% my fault so I give 5 stars. The next pair I purchase will definitely be a matte black frame or equivalent."
"Good fit and feel. Look good on and do the job. Great color and clarity. Might be my overall favorite so far. Would recommend these for sure."
"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 love these sunglasses. I got the Founders model and it is exactly what i need for running commercial drone operations in the field. I am able to see the the controller screen clearly with no glare that's present with a polarized lens."
