I purchased my pair of Wiley X Top Jimmies almost two years ago and I still wear them daily. At the time, I was looking for something inexpensive yet durable. Oakleys were out of my price range so I decided to try Wiley X. I decided on the Top Jimmie mostly because I felt they were stylish and comfortable. I have a large face and they fit perfect. Over time, the sunglass lenses have developed a few scratches even though I'm fairly gentle to them. However, the frame is still in excellent shape and the lenses can be removed and replaced if needed. For the money, Wiley X cannot be beat.

They look cheap but they are not and the case that they come with is rubbish for such an expensive pair of glasses. I have the Transitions Grey lenses which don't go very dark at all, you would not call them sunglasses. They are marked as Climate Control for Cylcing. Trust me they are no good at that you will fog up as soon as you pick up the pace, so you end up wearing them with out the gasket. I think you would be better off buying the P23 for cycling - MTB as they wrap all the way around and don't require a gasket.Plus the P23 look pimped. Also very important they are very dangerous when worn with a full face motorcycle helmet as they restrict peripheral vision. WileyX are very poor at looking after their customers I have never had a response to any emails sent to them, if only they had service like Optics Planet.
