The story of premium eyewear brand Wiley X begins back in 1987 when the company set out to become a world leader in the research, development and marketing of protective eyewear for military, law enforcement and civilian markets. Since those early days, Wiley X has set the benchmark for safety, style, and utility in the premium performance sunglass category on a global scale.
The company insists that all its adult premium eyewear products meet the ANSI Z87.1 safety standard for High Velocity/High Mass Impact as well as being EN.166 certified. Furthermore, it’s no secret that many models also meet various MIL-SPEC ballistic military standards for spectacles. In short, you won’t find better eye protection out there than in a pair of Wiley X sunglasses.
This high-end ballistic technology that is worn on the battlefield is available in many civilian markets, with fishing being a key segment. By fusing fashion with function, durability and this unrivalled technology, Wiley X eyewear has become an essential tool for fishermen. Whether it’s anglers who hunt for predators, fish for carp or target salmon, Wiley X has the right pair of eyewear to suit the needs of active fishermen.
Wiley X has been preaching to anglers across the globe that they should actually only use certified eyewear when enjoying fishing. The advantages of using certified polarized eyewear are numerous, but the main one is that they might just save your eyes one day from flying lures or flies – with that said Wiley X glasses offer exceptional optical quality too. All Wiley X lenses are tested before they are even cut in order to maintain the best optical quality. Furthermore, all Wiley X polarized lenses are carefully measured through cut files for each and every product in order to maintain pure optics in the final product. And finally, all Wiley X eyewear are tested by independent certified labs. This ensures you as an angler that Wiley X delivers the quality we promise – see how strong the lenses frames really are by clicking on these links:

This filter is produced in Japan, whereas many other polarized eyewear manufacturers use the much cheaper and inferior polarized filters produced in places such as China. The difference is quite staggering to be honest – a bad polarized filter is probably worse than none at all.
I think we all have tried a polarized eyewear at some point, where we have had to move our head to one side in order to get the maximum out of the polarized filter. I personally guarantee you that when wearing a pair of Wiley X you will not need to move your head as the polarized filter is mounted perfectly with a tolerance on only 1.6%. All other polarized sunglasses suppliers, whose eyewear is not certified, can place the polarized filter as they please with inconsistent results.
When choosing a pair of Wiley X eyewear you are guaranteed full clarity across the entire lens, where ordinary lenses can distort objectives viewed from a distance. As measured in tests utilizing the NBS Pattern 20 (see file attached), Wiley X lenses provide a clear view. Wiley X also provides you with true image size, where inferior lenses can alter the true size of objects, as if looking through another person’s prescription lens, Wiley X ANSI rated lenses always maintain true relative object size.
All Wiley X polarized lenses are delivered with a scratch resistant coating protecting the lens against damage and extend the life of the lens.
All Wiley X polarized lenses are produced with a hydrophobic coating on the outside of the lens which lets the water slide off instead of sticking to the lens.
All Wiley X polarized lenses have an anti-reflective coating on the inside of the lens, which will eliminate distracting reflections of the lens surface .
All Wiley X eyewear is produced with a high base cure (wrap around) which will kill all back and sidelight.
All styles in the climate control styles carry the gasket system which block out fine dust and pollen, as well as wind (long term wind irritation can cause eye irritation such as Dry Eye Syndrome. Peripheral light can also diminish optical clarity. Wiley X patented removable soft foam Facial Cavity™ Seals combined with Top Down™ Ventilation System block out even the finest irritants and peripheral light, protecting the eyes and allowing all lenses to perform at peak levels. Facial CavityTM Seals are available on selected styles and is a world patent of Wiley X, see the links for further demonstration:
