Uncompromising protection meets everyday style from an iconic American maker of protective eyewear. Founded in 1987 by U.S. Army veteran Myles Freeman Sr. as Protective Optics, Wiley X remains a second-generation, family-owned brand dedicated to building the world’s best protection-first glasses. They design sunglasses, shooting glasses, and eyewear that meet or exceed ANSI Z87.1+ and MIL-PRF-32432 standards through rigorous U.S. testing. The mission centers on people, doing hard things, and giving back to first responders, service members, veterans, and families.
