Myles Freeman started Wiley X in September of 1987. As an Army Veteran, he understood the need for high-quality protective gear. Back then, the military often provided outdated equipment that wasn’t very popular amongst the soldiers. Myles knew they wanted to have confidence in the equipment they wore and, even in times of conflict, wanted it to look good. “If they felt good about what they were using or wearing, they would perform at a higher level,” Myles often stated. From that point on, Wiley X began to design and develop cutting-edge eyewear, sunglasses, goggles and gloves for the U.S. military.
