I haven’t had the chance to use them daily yet, but after the initial tests I can see the lenses are excellent — they reproduce colours very well and provide sharpness, even when looking at a monitor. The quality difference compared to an older model from this company is noticeable. The frames have a nice matt colour and the temples are short. Not everyone will like this shape, although you can secure them with a strap. The glasses stay on the head quite well, although I think with the additional anti-fog insert it’s better to have a strap, especially on a motorcycle or bicycle. Overall I recommend them, but rather for people with a small or medium head — for a bigger head I would choose a different model, but one with these lenses.
Wiley X glasses from the Black Ops series, which was designed for everyday use and features sporty styling. The glasses are also part of the Climate Control series, which provides maximum comfort for the eyes when using them for high airflow activities (cycling, etc.). The glasses come with a rigid zippered case, a Facial Cavity liner, a neck suspension strap and a cloth for cleaning the lenses.
The frames are equipped with a special removable soft foam insert(Facial Cavity™ Seals), providing additional insulation, such as against wind, dust and sweat. Rubber temples, meanwhile, prevent the glasses from slipping. As a result, they minimize the discomfort of dry eyes due to air flow. They are especially recommended for people with dry eye syndrome.
Both the frames and lenses of the glasses are made with HVP™(High Velocity Protection) technology. As a result, they protect the eyes from injuries that can be caused by objects moving at high velocity (all glasses meeting this standard can withstand the impact of a steel ball with a diameter of 6.35 flying at 164.6 km/h).
The set includes:
- goggles,
- Facial Cavity™ Seals insert,
- rigid case,
- elastic T-Peg strap,
- cleaning cloth.

My previous Oakley glasses still work well, even though they've been around for years. I've become a little bored with them, and since they're already scratched and not very fashionable, I decided it was time for something new. I was looking for sunglasses that would be durable, versatile and polarised, and also provided good protection at the sides so that the glare wouldn’t blind me when driving. When I first put on the Wiley X Gravity with Captivate Polarized Grey lenses, I was impressed. On a sunny day, the image was incredibly clear and sharp, and the colours were vivid — much better than in my several-year-old Oakleys. The difference in image quality is down to technological advances. Unfortunately, the glasses turned out to be a bit too tight for my larger head, they slipped off my nose slightly and with the additional gasket they didn’t fit my face as well. I ended up sending them back and I’m getting a larger model of Wiley X with the same lenses, because I liked them a lot and don’t want to wait for a refund.
