Is this a good deal(WileyX)

I can get this pair from a friend for $70...both pairs of lenses plus the mirrored ones($60) but I've never worn them so don't want to waste my money if they aren't any good...what do you think?

If they're new, and they fit, it's a GREAT deal!

The fit is really key with those things, I have a pair I bought brand new & I think I wore them twice -I just don't like the way they fit at all...... They are sitting in the pile with all the other useless junk I have bought over the years.....

Been wearing the samepair for 4 years. If they fit right, go for it. Great at keeping wind out of my eyes, that's abig deal with contacts.

RE: Is this a good deal(WileyX)

Yeah, like everyone else has said, fit is key, I have a fat head - hat size is 7 5/8, never had a pair of glasses that fit as well as the Wileys. I have a pair of Wiley X Top Jimmies with mirrored lenses and removable wind gasket. Never used the gasket, it wasn't necessary to keep wind out for me. Paid $75 retail, I've had them for about a year, I wear them ALL THE TIME - riding, driving, snowboarding, beach, camping, construction. I absolutely love them and plan to get a couple more pairs.
