Now that we’re officially into 2012, you may have noticed some significant price increases by a couple of your favorite sunglasses manufacturers, in their Rx lenses (specifically Maui Jim and Oakley).

I’m not sure if any of you have heard of a company called Wiley X? They make some very interesting sunglasses. They have a few different lines, but one of my very favorites is the “Climate Control” line. They have a removable foam insert to block the wind from your eyes. They work amazingly well for motorcycle riders, and are also great for skiers and boarders.

Most of their frames are available in prescription, and since they recently started doing digital lenses, their prescription range has increased exponentially. Their lenses are available in single vision, lined bifocal and progressive. They also come in various tints, mirrors, polarized and Light Adjusting colors.

One other thing I love about Wiley X is their lenses exceed ANSI standards for impact resistance. Many of them are even ballistics approved, and quite a few people in our military wear them on the job, as well.

They’re a great company, and make great product. I definitely recommend them!
