Which one is best? I have examples of both but I tend to lean toward Wiley simply because I have fairly strong script and Wiley seems to have more accommodating frames. I like a lot of Oakley sunglasses...
I have these in clear transition tint for shooting  Attached FileAnd these for straight prescription sunglasses....  Attached FileAnd these for sunglasses when I’m wearing contacts...  Attached File |

My last shooting glasses were Wiley's, my new ones are Oakley.
I like my Oakley's slightly better but honestly I think it's just personal preference. Don't think you could go wrong with either. |

I wear both. My normal everyday eyeglasses are Oakley and the frames seem to last forever. All of my sunglasses and safety glasses are Wiley X. I do like Wiley X factory lenses a lot. Really can’t go wrong with either brand.
FYI- The Wiley X P17, Air Rage, Curve work very well with strong scrips, no distortion at all. Frames like the Boss and Roamer will have distortion at the outer edges and possibly the nose piece (Boss). Wiley X will sell you glasses knowing there might be slight distortion so, keep that in mind. |

I wear those same Oakleys as I keep them in my car for driving. I use my Wylie’s for shooting and other active outdoor activity. No prescription though.

One is Luxottica trash made in China.
At least some of Wiley-X's products are still made in the USA. |

I don't know anything about Wiley X but they seem pretty cool.
I have had the same Oakley Rx Flak Jackets for 12 yrs. I just change the lenses. I really like them. |

I own some old Oakleys, back before Luxottica.
It's almost time to replace them. I'm trying to avoid luxottica, which drastically reduces the brands I'm considering. Wiley X looks like a contender. |

I had to make the choice a couple of years ago. WileyX fit my head better, and that's what my prescription sunglasses have been ever since.

Oakely M 3.0's or the Scott Elite have the thinest legs I have tried... if you are using for hearing protection, I would recommend either. Probably Oakely first.

Used Wiley-Xs for shooting glasses. No experience with Oakleys because I went price point. The Magpul option looks interdasting.

I would probably get a pair of magpul at some point if I could confirm which models accept prescriptions. The one that I know of I don’t like.

Only had issued Wiley goggles, used Oakleys for a long time but after the last pair of frames lost a screw I tried out the Magpul line. They fit me well and were cheaper so I went with them. When they went on clearance last year I bought a few more pairs. No complaints but I also don't have Rx versions.

A Wiley X dealer came by an FFL friend about a decade ago, back then there was over 100% markup with msrp vs. wholesale, and that was with just a small minimum order to become a dealer. Honestly it may have been more than 100% but I can't remember exactly it just stuck in my mind how absurd the markup was.

They held up very well and I used them for quite a while, 2-3 years at work, but not every day. I just got a new pair in November, but went with the Wiley X Aspect. Prescription transition lenses. They are bigger and fit my head better than the Gravity's. I've been wearing them almost daily since I've gotten them, and I am very happy with them!  Edit: my every day glasses are Oakley, but they are not a sunglasses frame. Just a partial wire frame. |

Full disclosure. I read very little of the posts about which glasses. With that said, I have pair of Wiley X sunglasses. They are now 6 years old. The “arms” were worn out. E mailed the manufacturer and asked how much to replace. They sent me new “arms” free. Excellent customer service.

Was issued Wiley X on active duty and I really liked them. Had Oakley and they didn't last long. Never tried Magpul, most likely never will.

I have worn oakleys for over 20yrs. I haven't found a better pair of sunglasses that fit, are as light weight, and has protected my eye balls as much as they have.
