Wiley XWX Valor Polarized Tactical Sunglasses, Safety Glasses for Men and Women, UV Eye Protection for Combat, Shooting, Fishing, and Biking, Black Frame, Tinted Lenses, Ballistic Rated

By far the best glasses I've owned. I wear a 7 1/2 fitted hat and these glasses fit securely, but not too tight that they hurt after wearing them. Longest continuous wear is about 7 hours. After an hour, I didn't even feel them on me. Wore them on an 1.5 hour boat ride on a completely sunny day and really helped with the glare. I turned my head 90 degrees to see how much the polarization was helping and it was substantial.I have sensitive eyes and these darken direct sun enough that I don't have to squint. Yet I can wear them until dusk and they don't darken too much. They have never fogged.The glass covers full range of vision without feeling tight to my face. Never have had marks on my face after wearing them. Retaining cord goes at a centrally converging angle so you can't see it when looking from the front. Recommend them without hesitation!!

I will try to be as objective as possible. I have been an Oakley user for the last 10 years but, when you observed that the product quality is decreasing and costumer service is as poor as it can gets then, I think is time to move on. And what a way I chose to move on. These sunglasses are amazing. lightweight, comfortable, solid construction, quality materials. They look like they are lasting forever. I have been using them on daily basics ( I'm bus driver so I spend around 12 hours daily on the road) and so far I have only compliments for them. Glasses are a little too dark for my taste but, after 3 weeks with them I got used to their color and, with a very generous australian sun, I actually appreciated than they came that dark. Also I couldn't resist an very good price so I bought a second pair of Wiley X Valor Sunglasses. Those came with same frame and three pair or lenses: Smoke Grey (no polarized), Clear and Light Rust Lenses. Have been using them for sports (cycling, jogging, playing volleyball and messing around an not once they are fallen or moved from my face. Impressive.

Originally bought a non polarized pair from Academy Sports ($75) but was under the impression they were polarized. When I found out I was misled and that I could get an authentic polarized pair from Amazon for $83 I returned my first pair and ordered these. I was a bit worried that some shady seller on Amazon might send me a fake or counterfeit pair since the price was reduced $50. When I got them I double checked all markings, the polarization and box. You will see "WileyX Z87-2+" on the frame and over the inside nose, plus in the very lower left of the left eye it is marked "POLARIZED" but you need to look close. They come with a hard case, neck lanyard, and microfiber cloth. The box will be marked CHVAL08 on the side as well.As far as performance. I own Oakley polarized prism lenses on a pair of fives squared and have also owned black iridium polarized lenses in the past. The WlieyX lenses are almost as good as Oakleys, but much more durable and shatterproof. WileyX is better for shooting, hardcore impact activity, or anyone who would prefer to save $20-$100 vs certain Oakleys. Overall, I think both companies are 5 stars, but still give a slight edge to Oakley (made in USA, maybe the best lenses in the world but pricier).

Great glasses , have had them since 11/2015.. needless to say, they're beat to hell. Now some have commented about there durability after a few years of use. I think if I wore anything else as much as I've wore these glasses , that particular item would be falling apart too. For me personally , I work outdoors on utility lines in New England. These buggers have saved my eyes from wire slaps and tree branches in my face. Also survived Muggy summers to bone brittle winters and my Wileys have endured it all and all weather elements in between. I've just decided to purchase another pair but this time I'm going with Wiley x saints. If those don't cut it I'll definetly get another pair of valors as they've set the bar high. These I would pick any over 5.11 brand , revision sunglasses and Oakley half jackets.

Well, I ordered these sunglasses without the chance to try a pair on (as I live in a remote area), purely from other reviews and I'm glad I did!Very well made, solid build quality and they fit me perfectly. The lenses are polarised and cut out a lot of the suns harmful rays while not cutting out too much daylight.You receive the sunglasses in a hard 'clamshell' like zipped case, with a microfibre cloth and a neck strap to stop the glasses falling off your head.I may even order another pair to leave in the car, being so pleased with them!

It took about a month to get, but I knew it ahead of time and since I was saving about $40, I didn't mind waiting. I use the glasses to ride around on a motorcycle, so it's important that they fit well and protect me. It's also important that I look as cool as I feel. I got hit by a large juicy bug the first night I wore them and it covered one entire lense. No breakage or scratches yet. Came with case and towel.Update on 8/24/16. Glasses were still working great. They're dedicated to Motorcycle use only. I did have an issue with the inside of the lenses. It seemed like the coating on the inside was rubbing off. I believe this may be caused from putting these on the top of my head and the hair gel I use along with sweat. Anyway, I contacted Wiley X and for about $10 I sent them in and they replaced the lenses. The service was great and I only went without for about 2 weeks. They returned them with new lenses and a new case and cleaning cloth. No hassles and no headaches and definitely cheaper then buying new. These are by and far the best sunglasses I've owned (compared to ray ban and oakley) and would definitely buy them again.
