Better than I expected
I just opened the box today, so I can only comment on my initial impressions. I will write a follow up review after I've worn them for a while.This product is much more than I expected. First of all, it contained valuable items that I wasn't expecting including the well-designed, padded, and expertly crafted carrying case and a leash cord.The moment I put the glasses on I could tell they were extremely comfortable and felt "just right." I am looking forward to putting some miles on them so I can post a more detailed review.But honestly, so far, these are the best dark glasses I have ever worn and are easily worth the money.The only minor negative I have is the extra effort needed to remove the lenses that come installed in order to change to different ones. But, by following the clear instruction and being patient, I finally was able to succeed.Now, I someone will tell where or how I can buy additional microfiber cleaning clothes, I'll be totally happy camper.

Great for shooting!
I am a huge Oakley fan, I own 5 pair of flak jacket alone. But I needed something for pistol shooting and I was referred to the Wiley X brand by my shooting instructor since they are certified for impact. The multiple lenses are nice in case we shoot indoors or out. I wore them my first day to work for my drive and they have no distortion and are very nice quality. Good optical lenses and very comfortable. Much cheaper than my Oakleys. I will continue to wear my Oakleys for everyday use, but for shooting or working in my garage and needing impact safety glasses, these will be my go to eyewear. They were pretty easy to change the lenses as well, they came with the red lenses on it and I needed to change to the darker lenses for driving, took me all of 60 seconds to change out. Nice case too. Highly recommend for shooting.

Overall not bad
I bought these because they are AR 670-1 compliant and they look sharp.It is a nice pair of sunglasses. The only thing that bothers me is the way you replace the lenses. It is pretty difficult, although the concept is really cool. I feel like if I change the lenses enough over time, its going to lose retention. The carrying case is really nicely organized and will keep your spare lenses (and the glasses) safe while you're on the range or out and about.Overall, if you are or aren't military and looking for a nice pair of shooting glasses, these are not a bad way to go, they are a really nice option.

Awesome sunglasses
These glasses are fantastic and I cannot believe they are not more reviews on them! I have had lots of brands and sunglasses over the years - oakley x 6 , ray ban x 3, revo x1, Bolle x 5 and a few more. I can't believe these glasses are under $100, these beat Oakley M frames which I have had a few hands down and are much cheaper.They really hug your face and don't leave any gaps for foreign bodies to go into your eyes unlike the M frames which have quite a big gap underneath. The view through the lenses are cystal clear and on the dark shade during dusk things can be seen quite clearly unlike other brands. Also, they are very comfortable and stick on your face really well.In addition they are stylish, I am not saying that something like the M frames are not but they scream Jarhead or LEO, the Valours look designer without compromising protection or durability.People who have issues with these sunglasses as I see in a few of the below reviews obviously haven't worn many glasses or I am guessing used them for military or LEO settings.If in doubt just get these glasses you won't be disappointed.

Best bang for your buck
Wiley X Valor offers a great value. The frame is durable, and the three different sets of interchangeable lenses make these a godsend for practical purposes.The base smoke gray lenses function great as sunglasses, and they are distortion free, along with the other two. The rust is useful in overcast/low light situations and the clear are good for shooting indoors or biking in the woods.Changing the lenses out is a little nerve wracking at first since the frame needs to be slightly bent while the user pulls the lens out, but after doing it a few times it becomes intuitive. The lenses are securely held in place and make a solid CLICK when fully inserted. They aren't coming out unless you want them too.The non polarized set is best for shooting with optics, and if you desire polarized lenses FUSE/Zeiss makes a set of polarized lenses for the Valor that can be found online for about thirty bucks.Overall it's a great value and great product.
