# These Wiley X Boss Sunglasses Are The Best Pair Of Sunglasses I've Ever Worn *By James Hills — Updated September 2022* I love my sunglasses and while many of them are purely for fashion, there's a practical side of quality eyewear that deserves to be talked about too. While cool looking mirrored shades on the beach might be great at hiding your eyes as you look around and admire the scenery - good sunglasses are designed to protect your eyes and allow them to function at their maximum level. Glasses like this are designed to help you see those fish better, avoid getting dust in your eyes so you can take that turn faster, and ultimately offer the best sun protection possible so you can enjoy the perks of good vision as long as possible. Unfortunately, a lot of tactical sunglasses are either fashion focused to make you look like a special ops warrior or they are more functional that comfortable or good looking. I'm happy to say that these [BOSS glasses from Wiley X](https://www.wileyxrx.com/wiley-x-boss.html) are the whole thing wrapped up into one fantastic package. I've been using them for a few months now and the PR folks at their agency probably think I was never going to actually share my thoughts but it's honestly one of those situations where you like something so much that you know the brand deserves an honest and authentic review, instead of something banged out quickly to make someone happy. ### Bachelor Party Cruise Idea: Caribbean Rum Tour Plan the ultimate rum-themed bachelor party cruise to the Caribbean, featuring distillery tours, private tastings, and onboard experiences at iconic destinations like Mount Gay and Appleton Estate.

Essentially, what that means is that these qualify as safety-rated glasses for dangerous situations at work as well as play. While we mostly used these on the water on our Alaska Cruise earlier this month, they are equally awesome for cold environments like skiing and snowboarding where you need impact protection as well as a closed environment normally provided by goggles. ## Man Gear Pick of the Month September's Pick Amazon (affiliate) ### Kenyon City Grill Portable Stainless Steel Electric Grill Why we picked it: a grill you can actually carry to the campsite, the tailgate or the cabin without borrowing a truck. Stainless, no propane tank to wrestle, and hot enough to cook for four guys rather than reheat for one.

From a visual acuity perspective, I can say that compared to other sunglasses that I have - these are extremely clear with minimal distortion at the edges. Now, to be fair, these probably aren't the right sunglasses for every occasion. I do have a pair of transitions that I wear for quickly running around town that these will not entirely replace. However, during our 2,000 mile road trip home from Seattle - these were the ones on my face for the majority of daylight hours. These are the sunglasses I trust to protect my eyes when driving, looking at glaciers in Alaska or taking a hike at 8,200 feet around a lake in California. All of those situations are extremely harsh environments where you need good eye protection and when looking back at my photos this weekend ... that's where I was wearing these Wiley X Boss glasses. That's the best review statement that I can possibly offer. If you are interested in getting your own pair, they are available with or without prescription lenses, starting at $342 on [www.wileyxrx.com](https://www.wileyxrx.com/wiley-x-boss.html)  Top Picks Flow Voyages ### Book your next cruise with Heather at Flow Voyages Flow Voyages is a travel advisor specializing in cruises and resorts.
