Wiley Valor Sunglasses: Sporting a Sleek Smoke Matte Design Review

My old glasses grew out of legs and went out one summer evening, they were a handy replacement. They fit well but they don't seem to close your eyes as much as the old model I had. I expect them to let air through my lenses when I wear them on the bike. Much cheaper than competing brands and local retailers that carry the Wiley X brand.

I have had these glasses for 2 years now and after ordering my 3rd set of replacement lenses I decided it was time to change my review. These lenses scratch very easily, the last major scratch was from a 3 foot drop onto a hardwood floor. For the price they should be able to apply a scratch resistant coating like the $9 Howard Leith glasses I replaced them with.

For those who are concerned, black lenses are dark and people will only see your eyes when in direct sunlight or when they are within your…

Well I lost the frame and black lenses so it was great to find a replacement set at a cheaper price. The fit is perfect. I have a huge head and I often bend my sunglasses, which lose their shape after only a few days of wear. This has not happened with this pair after several months of wearing. Also, they don't hit you on the head every time you put them on…

After exploring the world of oversized sunglasses for my oversized head (I wear a size 8 hat) and reading many recommendations and reviews, I did I chose Wiley X Valor and it didn't disappoint. However, I wish it had a few extras like a better case. I will not rewrite the promotional text. Let's just say the Wiley X Valor is shockproof and can stop living splinters. It's reminiscent of shield-type sunglasses, but not overly intrusive. I call it "conservatively stylish" in the sense that it's…
