In 1987, U.S. Army Veteran Myles Freeman Sr. laid the foundation for what would evolve into the iconic American brand, Wiley X, originally named Protective Optics. Today, Wiley X stands as the epitome of trust and excellence in protective eyewear, upholding the timeless mission to "Build the world’s best protective eyewear." As a second-generation, family-owned American business, Wiley X takes pride in its legacy of innovation, creating cutting-edge eyewear products without compromising on protection.

For Wiley X, protection is not just a feature – it's a code of conduct embraced with utmost seriousness. The commitment to personal safety goes beyond the ordinary, with rigorous testing procedures that have become synonymous with the Wiley X experience. Behind each pair of glasses lies the trust of real individuals, relying on Wiley X not only to safeguard their eyes but also to uphold the integrity of the meticulously designed and built products.

Wiley X doesn't settle for crafting mere "safety glasses" or commonplace eyewear; they embark on a more challenging and rewarding journey. Their moonshot is to design eyewear that people genuinely enjoy wearing anywhere, anytime, without compromising on performance or protection. This commitment drives Wiley X to perfect the ordinary while pushing the boundaries of the extraordinary. The brand's unwavering dedication to excellence is evident in the exhaustive testing process, ensuring that every pair of eyewear meets or exceeds the highest industry standards for safety and optics. Beyond their commitment to quality, Wiley X proudly supports first responders, military service members, veterans, and their families. It's not just a business value; it's a core belief to honor the memory and sacrifices of those who serve the nation. Wiley X contributes to non-profit organizations, gives back through charitable donations, sponsors events, engages in employee community service programs, and allocates marketing resources to support the community and country it serves. Wiley X is not just an eyewear brand; it's a symbol of unwavering commitment, innovation, and gratitude.
