Wiley X VALOR Safety Sunglasses Review | SportRx

Would your sunglasses shatter from a projectile traveling at 150 ft/sec? The Wiley X Valor won’t. Sunglass Rob talks with Wiley X about these ANSI rated performance safety glasses.
What does ANSI rated mean? It means the Valor is certified for on the job use. But unlike many other safety glasses, the Valor is stylish enough for every day wear. That’s where most safety glasses fail.
Nobody wants to wear glasses that say, "I never left my job."
The Wiley X Valor is one of the only ANSI certified semi-rimless frames around. These medium to large fit sunglasses are the perfect match for anyone that need a pair of shades they can take anywhere.

I train & shoot rifle / pistol when I can and also work around grinders, welders and chemicals during the day so it is nice to have a high quality set of glasses that can cover both fronts. My last pair of Tobis rode off on a flatbed trailer where I had set them in the middle of a repair job. Probably will get another set of Tobis for driving, and a Valor or Saint for shooting and working. Had some Maui Jims (Hookipa) which were comfortable and easy on the eyes as well but they tended to scratch more easily and did not offer me the protection that the Wiley X does. Keep up the good work Wiley X crew.

[@avicihell6358]

Thanks for giving the technical sizing specs ... that was helpful!

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello Avici! Thanks for commenting!

[@yanisk5123]

1:30 those rubber parts are starting to wear off after a short period of time (1 month). The official explanation is cause of the salt in our sweat and that we have to wash them after every use.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Thank you for leaving a comment and sharing that insight with us Yanis! :)

[@blackmagic2015]

I've got Wiley'x Valor BlackOps & i have same problem here. Those rubber parts are not removable!

[@Odysseus95]

So much for being durable. . .

[@KevynBuhrMusic]

Are these made in the us?

[@phalylim9504]

I bought these glasses and replacement lenses, no lie shit was really hard to remove the lenses, I was tugging on them for like 20m, attempting not to dmg the frame or lenses. That being said I managed to get both lenses off with extreme effort. Then I noticed the tolerances of the locking groves on the frame were at like right angles and, I grabbed my knife and trimmed them a little to ease up on the tolerances and kind of give the lenses more of an ability to slide into the grove and out. This ended up working and the lenses stay in place but can now slide in and out easier so it is possible to make it work, BUT it'll take some micky mousing which it shouldn't have to and be able to do this out of the box already. I do enjoy the glasses now and can swap lenses from prescription, polarized (when I have my contacts) and clear for indoor shooting range, my favorite glasses actually, BUT for feedback I would suggest Wiley make the grooves in the frame that lock the lenses be more smoother and loosen up the tolerances a bit to get some play so someone can swap lenses easier.

Are the actual lenses RX, or do you guys still do the RX insert?

[@qguilwesley6747]

I would like to ask you, if i wish to order these w prescription can it also be rderd with color glasses, "light rust", etc.??

[@sportrxeyewear]

HI! Yes, we can do customizable tints in a variety of colors, saturations, and mirror combinations. Give our opticians a call to get started!

[@gsimongear]

How does the Valor compare to the Oakley Flak 2.0 XL? I like the Flak, but the only problem is the nose bridge is too narrow for me.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi Garrett! The bridge on the Valor is wider compared to the Flak 2.0 XL. The bridge for the Valor is 18 while the bridge for the Flak 2.0 XL is 16. Thank for reaching out!

Hello I'm looking a wileyx pair for airsoft with good anti fog what do you suggest?

[@sportrxeyewear]

There are so many options that would be great for your intended use! The first option that comes to mind, however, is the SG-1. That just seems like the most appropriate in my mind, but - by no means - the only option. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2nTpKSVZbmaeck If you would like more tailored assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly, knowledgeable opticians at 888-831-5817!

[@blackmagic2015]

Очки классные, линзы отличные. У меня военные Wiley X Valor WX Z87-2 BlackOps. НО, у них есть 1 жирный минус. Резиновые детали на оправе (носовые и ушные) не съемные. Они как-бы вклеены в корпус. Это значит что через полгода они отшелушатся а заменить их невозможно, да и не производятся нигде. Как вариант можно поменять оправу, но стоит она дорого. Проще добавить $ и купить модель поновее. Вывод: Очки дорогие и одноразовые!

[@johnyoung9945]

On the valor, can the lens's be changed when the Rx changes?

[@sportrxeyewear]

They absolutely can! The lenses are actually interchangeable, so you can have multiple sets of lenses for the one chassis! Don't forget, you can always reach out to one of our friendly, knowledgeable opticians for even more tailored assistance at 888-831-5817

[@DragonActual]

are prescriptions available for these sunglasses?

[@sportrxeyewear]

YES! Contact us here(www.sportrx.com/contact) with your rx on hand and we will let you know if it is within range for the valor!

[@marcobatista999]

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi there! We have not had any feedback about these sunglasses fogging. However, if you happen to have any issues with fog, you can always return or exchange your sunglasses within 45 days of purchase. Contact one of our certified opticians for more information: www.sportrx.com/contact

Красивые очки!

[@andreykane1377]

which rx inserts are fit?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi there! For the Valor, the prescription is made onto the actual lenses and not into an insert. Thanks for reaching out!

[@andreykane1377]

@@sportrxeyewear so, that means only I can use without lenses for low vision? so sad

[@skeetwuzhere]

@@andreykane1377 the lenses are interchangeable, bro. That’s the genius.
