Wiley-X provides eyewear solutions for the most extreme conditions facing athletes and military personel around the globe. Wiley-X sunglasses were launched nearly 20 years ago for military use. The military required high quality, shatterproof sunglasses. In 1987, Wiley-X sunglasses were released to the public and were no longer designed primarily for military purposes. Today, Wiley-X sunglasses offer the same high-performance sunglasses mixed with an element of style and design as well.
