Anyone wore these and have a review? I’d like to buy some if they’re pretty good. A lot cheaper then Costa! I’m pretty hard on sunglasses.

I use to own them, and I was happy with them. Went to Costa's and recently I switched to Solar bats. Seems I would loose a pair every year.
I might be able to get you a discount on Solar bats.

I ride a motorcycle daily and use several pairs of these and other brands. Polarization and clarity are good, but I have a problem with them fogging up more than others. When I contacted WileyX about the fogging up, they first told me I was wrong or using them improperly, then they basically told me "Yeah, using them in humid conditions will make them fog up." So take that for what it's worth.

I use them an like them. I have a pair in my boat and another identical pair in my truck I use for driving. I'm pretty hard on them too and seem to get a new pair every year just from getting scratched up.

I got in on that. I would say overall good glasses, they compare to Costa for me.

I have three pairs of them. First pair the lense on one side fell out. The second pair delaminated, like above. The third pair is big and bulky, but good so far. I buy them because it’s easy. The SnapOn truck sells them. Lol. Wish he’d sell something a little better.

I got 3 pair through the Reve SX promo, they are pretty good. The nose piece broke on one pair but the other two are still being used.

I have 2 old pairs of Jakes they are good durable glasses. One has the glass blue mirror lens good for bright days the other pair I ordered the transition lenses. They protect from uv rays but they don't darken at all like I thought they would. On the other hand I just sent in a 15 yr old pair of Costas for repair. they had been discontinued and they let me pick a brand new pair with 580 lenses no questions asked no receipt or anything. I paid $11.00 S&H for a $200.00 pair of Tuna alley glasses. YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT KIND OF CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Sweat and sunscreen made a couple of pairs I had delaminate like stated above. I’ve worn wilayx for several years now. I need to get them to replace a few pairs I guess. Lol

I had a pair and the fogging up was bad, Saved my gift cards and got me a pair of Costas and have not looked back. I do tend to take care of mine and they last a good while

My prescription Wiley X’s scratched up after about 6 months. I was using them while doing handyman work, so they was a lot of dust. Prescription Oakley’s lasted about 3 years. I used non prescription Wiley’s for shooting for a long time with no problems. Might have just been the environment.

I like them. Wore them for years. Just got a pair of Maui Jims with prescription lenses and those are now my go to.
They will tend to fog easily as they fit very snug. OSHA tested impacted lenses as well so thats nice. After a bullet weight my buddy had snagged and was yanking on came back and shattered my Ray Bans I moved to the Wiley Xs.
Good glasses and not too expensive.
