Reviews

Wow !

"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 !"

— Javier M. (5/5)

The frame is very comfortable.

"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."

— Mark C. (5/5)

These sunglasses are a perfect

"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."

— Charlie P. (5/5)

I love these sunglasses. I

"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."

— Nicholas R. (5/5)

It takes a lot for

"It takes a lot for me to review something. So I'll start with the buying process. The web site was easy to navigate and understand. I chose the captivate tungsten mirror lenses and I have to say I really like them. The vision is nice and clear and even without polarized lenses they still calm down glare off of other cars while driving. I haven't used them at the rangs yet but I will soon. Id recommend them 100%"

— Gregory B. (5/5)

Safety shields are a pain

"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."

— Javier N. (3/5)

The lenses are stellar. The

"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"

— Kimberly A. (3/5)

Concern Regarding WX Founder Quality

"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."

— Henry A. (2/5)

Great fit. Excellent quality. Once

"Great fit. Excellent quality. Once they are on, it feels like you are wearing nothing."

— Scott H. (5/5)

Love the glasses. Slightly disappointed

"Love the glasses. Slightly disappointed in the fact that the lenses got a scratch in them two weeks in. And replacement lenses are half the cost of the glasses."

— Cody D. (5/5)
