[Closed] What sunglasses were Richard Hammond wearing in the Bolivia Top Gear episode?

I think they are Wiley X - used to be imported but not sure if they are anymore. I MIGHtT hVe the guys contact details when I go back to the office in 4 Jan. As used by American military. I have a few pairs 🙂

Yes! they definitely look like they're Wiley X but can't really put my finger on which ones though whatdya think?

Better prices than Oakley's too, may have to get friends from the US to order me a pair, the UK dealers are really expensive considering the RRP 😯

I though they were Oakley Jawbones?

Does anyone know anywhere in the South East that I can try on a pair of the Wiley's?

I likes em...

:o)

I originally thought it was the Jawbone too but if you compare them, the jawbones' are more angular and the lens on it isn't actually that big. I like the Wiley X's goggle-like design which should be good for keeping the mud out but unfortunately been round a few shops in Cambridge this afternoon, couldn't find them anywhere 😕

I think they're Wiley-X Tactical SG-1's:

When I get back to the office I will contact the guy who (used to ?) import them ( we did his website years ago) and see if he still does or can point you in the right direction 🙂

Must say they're pretty tasty. I like the retaining strap, they're a whizzy type of aviator goggles. Neat.

Cheers mastiles. That would be great!

P

some on ebay at mo, ranging from £60-120

Not convinced they are Willeys.

Cool glasses, but maybe there's a danger that people will think you want to look like Richard Hammond?!

I have a pair of wiley sg1's there good although they steam up like hell on climbs!! US military use them, I seen some interesting pictures online showing how good they protect your eyes.

I wear contact lenes and it hurts like hell when i get dust in my eyes so I bought these after seeing them on the gadget show. But the constant steaming up and goggle like looks I've ended up ditching them for endura stingrays.

I got my wileys off ebay from U.S. about 50quid i think.

As promised, this is the guy we have worked with in the past but he doesn't seem to be doing the Wileys anymore...

Watching a couple of sets on eBay at the mo'. Pretty cheap, but the postage bites you in the ass!
