Product Description

he U.S. Military Special Forces and Law Enforcement agencies needed the ultimate, shatterproof eye gear. And so, 20 years ago, Wiley X was born. We began by creating shatterproof, selenite, polycarbonate lenses. In fact, some models have been tested to withstand a 12 gauge shotgun blast from 10 yards away. Factor in sleek design and proprietary technology, and our list of admirers has reached international acclaim. Nationally, we are currently a standard issue item with the FBI, DEA, Army Rangers, Navy SEAL Teams and Military Special Forces. In 1987, we took our protective eyewear to civilians. Our quality, shatterproof styles lend themselves beautifully to activities where eye protection is essential. Wiley X frames and accessories are now integral to not only the nations elite, but also those who hunt, fish and ride motorcycles. And with our smart, modular design, our glasses shift seamlessly into your daily lifestyle.

These glasses are the best I've ever owned. I use them for riding my motorcycle and for law enforcement duties. They keep the wind, dust, etc. out of my eyes very effectively. They also function well as safety glasses on the range. If I happen to be riding my motorcycle after dark, it is simple to change the lenses to the clear ones that come with these glasses. Excellent value for the price.

This is one of the more popular Department of the Army approved ballistic glasses, but they do not hold up in the deployed environment. The lenses scratch very easily. The WileyX metal piece on the side catches on your helmet straps. The black glossy paint flecks away after only two months of use. If you're spending your money on ballistic eye wear, that needs to be able to with stand Iraq or Afghanistan, these are not them.

These are the most comfortable goggles I've worn in a long time. Both the elastic strap and the earpieces are low friction so they work great with either a hat or a helmet. The one issue I have with them is the lenses. Even with the provided anti-fog solution they still tend to fog up pretty quick. I used Cat Crap on them and that seems to work pretty well. Overall, I like the SG-1's.
