What is Wiley x eye wear like?
I am interested in their eye wear because they make huge coverage sunglasses.
I am interested in the saber model https://www.botac.com/wilsabbaley1.html.
Why are no reviews of their glasses on the internet?

I've worn the XL-1's for motorcycle riding for a couple of years now and I love them...they are high quality glasses IMO but I've never thought about a pair for cycling....all I can say is that I'm real pleased with the ones I do wear and would buy another pair in a heartbeat.

They're sorta ugly, but they're standard issue for a lot of Army units. Those, along with Oakley M-Frames have saved the eyesight of lots and lots of guys in Iraq.
If they can keep IED fragments out of your eyes, they'll probably work for road debris too

I have SG-1's and they work well. I got them because I could get the frames cheap on ebay and prescription eyecups fairly inexpensively.

I've had the PT-1s for a while and have been pretty happy with them. The only problem to date is the smoke lens is starting to develope a crack near the nose piece. I've never had them fog up, never had a problem with wind, etc. The lens' are pretty tough. They remind me of the same material used in the single piece visor for aviation helmets in the Air Force.

I want them for running. I want them because they block alot of light below the eyes when looking down with normal sunglasses you can allways see a gap of light below the bottom of the lens and that annoys me. I don't want goggles just the ones that look like Oakley m frame but are bigger.
