When I purchased these I got the Wiley-X SG-1's off of E-Bay for $55 or something.  I believe the list price on these goggles is $85.  Anyway, I got a decent deal and I was happy when they arrived.  After closely inspecting the goggles for cracks scratches and everything... which I assume you all do.... (yeah thought so) I was happy to find that the quality of the lenses on the SG-1's was very clear.  I bring that up because on some lower quality glasses and goggles, the lens itself will actually distort your vision.  This can be a hindrance in itself.

Upon further inspection, my first impression of the Wiley-X SG1 goggles were that the frame seemed a bit 'cheap'.  I was worried that they would break in half really easily.  This troubled me because the replaceable lens were snapped in pretty secure and you have to 'manipulate' the frame a little to change out the lenses.  I received two types of lenses, clear and smoked (tinted).  So I was very careful to change out the lenses.  I was relieved when I successfully changed the lenses without any breakage of the frames.

I am not going to bore you with the material makeup of the goggles because you can look that up by going to the Wiley-X website www.wiley-x.com or clicking on this direct link to the SG-1's www.wiley-x.com/sg1.php page.

The first time that I used the Wiley X modular goggles was in a night game.  I opted to use the clear lenses for obvious reasons.  I had called Wiley-X and asked them if the lenses were anti-fog impregnated and they stated that they were anti-fog 'coated'.  They had stated that they 'shouldn't' fog up so I took them out with no anti-fog to seem how they held up.  After the first hour of playing, they were great, no fogging what so ever. After the second hour, I noticed that they were collecting some condensation on the inside of the lens.  After about 2.5 hours, the condensation was so great that my vision was so 'blurry' that I couldn't make heads or tails from a tree or a person.  Remember, I am playing a night game right now.

I took out my soft cotton 'lens' cleaner cloth and gently wiped the goggles down.  Well, I found out what they meant by anti-fog 'coated'.  It was no different then applying anti-fog yourself.  I apparently wiped off all of the anti-fog protection and from then on out, I had fog.  The goggles had fogged up so bad that all I saw was 'blobs' of dark masses.  Well, being that I am in a fire fight, I can't just stop playing so I took up a defensive position and started shooting at anything that moved.

So my next impression of these goggles was that I had just wasted $55 on another piece of useless gear.  The next game that I played was again a night game but this time, I decided to apply some anti-fog to them.  Well, the same thing happened and after the first hour, my vision was so poor that I switched out to my 858QRT approved Bolle Tactical goggles.  You can see that review by clicking here.  Again, I was pretty mad that it seemed as if even with anti-fog, these goggles were fogging up.  So I packed them away and all but forgot about them.

A little while later, we were heading out to the desert to play a day game.  I decided that I would bring the Wiley-X modular goggles out and give them a try in a day game.  Being that we were in the desert and the sun likes to beat up on us, I opted to use the smoked/tinted lenses.  I was pretty sure that they would do the same, but since I am all about the 'research' I opted to use the smoked lenses without any anti-fog.

I donned the Wiley-X SG-1 modular goggles and geared up to play.  The smoked lenses were great in the sun.  They acted as if they were sun glasses and I didn't have to 'squint' my eyes at all.  That was a great thing.  So I played for about 4 hours and then I realized, the goggles had NOT FOGGED at all.  Hmmm..  Well I quickly made the connection between the outside temperature and temperature inside the goggles (Ie. your eyes) played a significant role in how these goggles would react.  I continued to play for about another hour or so and just when I thought they were acting great, they had started to fog.  What the..??  Now I was getting mad.  BUT then I realized, the sun was going down.  The temperature had dropped quite significantly and that was when I made my conclusion.  The Wiley-X modular tactical goggles are great goggles for warm day games.. but they absolutely suck in cold weather.

This maybe in part to the fact that they completely surround the eyes and basically don similar to swimming goggles.  Actually that is exactly why they do that.  So the most important piece of advice that I have is that if you purchase these goggles, only use them during the day games.  If you do, they will perform flawlessly and you will be very pleased with your purchase.  Do not use them in night games or games in cold weather.  It seems as if it doesn't matter which lens you opt for, they just plain suck in colder weather.

So, I have used these goggles in woodland forest, urban & desert terrains.  I have used them at night, during the day and twilight.  My final review of these goggles is that they are great goggles for anyone looking for a lightweight source of eye protection for day games.  They have interchangeable lenses that come in many different tint levels.  All the way from amber to orange, clear to smoked.  Personally, I wouldn't recommend purchasing them directly from Wiley-X just because of the price but beware if you purchase them from a private party. 

The Wiley-X SG-1 modular goggles come with two pair of lenses, clear and smoked.  They also come with a set of temples and a strap.  I used the strap in all of my experiments and it held the goggles in place under the most challenging conditions. They all come with a carrying bag, but it is only a carrying bag, so if you want to pack the goggles out I recommend something a bit more 'rugged'.  For the price that I paid and for the way that they performed during my day games, I was more than satisfied.  I would have liked them to be able to be used in night and cold weather games, but that is a sacrifice that I am willing to make.

Here are some pictures that I took of the Wiley -X SG-1 modular goggles.
