DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Wiley X Active P-17 Frame Only gives you a proven foundation for prescription safety eyewear or custom lens builds. This rectangular wraparound frame has been a staple in Wiley X's Active Lifestyle series for years, earning a reputation among motorcyclists, cyclists, and tradespeople who need ANSI Z87.1+ certified protection without the industrial look.

The matte black and black crystal frames feature dual-injected rubberized nose pads and temple grips that lock the frame in place during high-speed rides, active work, or outdoor sports. The wraparound design blocks peripheral light, wind, dust, and debris—critical for motorcycle riders and anyone working in demanding environments. At just 71 grams, the lightweight construction won't fatigue you during all-day wear.

ANSI Z87.1+ Safety Certification

The P-17 meets ANSI Z87.1+ standards for high-velocity and high-mass impact protection, plus optical clarity requirements. This certification means the frame (when fitted with compliant lenses) can handle jobsite hazards while meeting OSHA 1910.133(b)(1)(1) requirements. You can wear these on construction sites, in workshops, or anywhere safety glasses are required—then keep them on for the ride home.

Prescription-Ready & Lens-Swappable

This frame-only option is fully prescription-ready. Optical labs can fit polycarbonate prescription lenses directly into the frame, maintaining ANSI certification with proper lens thickness (2.0mm minimum for polycarbonate). The P-17 accepts prescriptions up to +2.00 to -3.00 total power with standard manufacturing, or +5.00 to -7.00 with digital free-form technology designed for high-wrap frames. Minimum pupillary distance is 60mm. You can also snap in Wiley X replacement lenses—smoke grey, Captivate polarized, clear, or other tints—without tools. Lenses pop out from the back and install from the front in under two minutes.

"the frames are incredible they never break and still look good" — Wiley X customer review

Built for Medium to Large Heads

The P-17 fits most face shapes and sizes, with a traditional rectangular lens shape that works for medium to large heads. The 60mm lens width, 120mm temple length, and adjustable rubber components ensure a secure, comfortable fit whether you're reading a screen, working overhead, or leaning into the wind at highway speeds.

The frame ships without lenses. Add your prescription through an optical provider, or purchase Wiley X replacement lenses separately to complete your setup. Includes case, cleaning cloth, leash cord, and sports strap.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Wiley X P-17 frame prescription-ready?

Yes, the P-17 frame is fully prescription-ready and accepts polycarbonate prescription lenses to maintain ANSI Z87.1+ safety certification. The frame accommodates prescriptions from +2.00 to -3.00 total power with standard manufacturing, or +5.00 to -7.00 with digital free-form lens technology designed for high-wrap frames. Minimum pupillary distance is 60mm. When fitted with compliant prescription lenses (minimum 2.0mm thickness for polycarbonate), the eyewear meets ANSI safety standards for optical clarity and impact protection.

What does ANSI Z87.1+ certification mean for the P-17?

ANSI Z87.1+ certification means the P-17 frame (when fitted with compliant lenses) meets rigorous safety standards for high-velocity and high-mass impact protection, optical clarity, and coverage. The "plus" designation indicates the eyewear has passed both high-velocity and high-mass impact tests, making it suitable for environments with flying debris, tools, or impact hazards. This certification also ensures compliance with OSHA 1910.133(b)(1)(1) workplace safety requirements, so you can wear the P-17 on jobsites, in workshops, or anywhere safety glasses are mandated.

Can I replace the lenses in the P-17 frame myself?

Yes, the P-17 frame accepts snap-in replacement lenses that you can install yourself in under two minutes. To remove lenses, turn the frame around and push on the back nasal corner. To install, hold the frame facing you, line up the outer edge of the new lens with the frame, and run your thumbs around the lens to pop it into place. Wiley X offers official replacement lenses in various tints (smoke grey, Captivate polarized, clear, bronze), and several aftermarket manufacturers also produce compatible lenses.

What head size does the Wiley X P-17 fit?

The P-17 is designed to fit medium to large head sizes and most face shapes. It features a 60mm lens width, 120mm temple length, and dual-injected rubberized nose pads and temple grips that adjust to provide a secure, comfortable fit. Customer reviews frequently mention the frame fits well on medium to small heads as well, and the lightweight design (71 grams) ensures all-day comfort without pressure points.

Does the P-17 frame come with lenses or a case?

The P-17 Frame Only does not include lenses—you'll need to add prescription lenses through an optical provider or purchase Wiley X replacement lenses separately. The frame does include a protective case, cleaning cloth/bag, leash cord, and sports strap for secure wear during active use. This frame-only option gives you the flexibility to customize your eyewear with the exact lens type, tint, and prescription you need.

How durable is the P-17 frame for daily use?

The P-17 frame is exceptionally durable for daily use. Customer reviews report frames lasting 5+ years of everyday wear including motorcycle riding, jobsite work, and driving—even without using a protective case. The dual-injected construction and rubberized components resist breaking, and the Wiley X logo never wears off. Many users report the P-17 frames outlast premium brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley, making them a reliable long-term investment for active lifestyles and demanding work environments.

Wiley X P-17 Frame Only vs. P-17 Frame & Lenses

The main decision here is whether you need prescription lenses or want to choose your own lens type. The P-17 Frame Only gives you maximum flexibility—take it to your optician for prescription lenses, or buy Wiley X replacement lenses in your preferred tint (smoke grey, Captivate polarized, clear, bronze). This option costs $101 and lets you customize exactly what you need.

The P-17 Frame & Lenses ($101-$200) comes ready to wear with lenses pre-installed. If you don't need prescription correction and want a specific Wiley X lens (like Captivate polarized for fishing or driving), this is the faster route. You'll pay more upfront, but you skip the step of sourcing lenses separately.

Our recommendation: Choose the frame-only option if you need prescription lenses or want to build your own setup. Choose the frame & lenses package if you want non-prescription eyewear ready to wear out of the box.

Wiley X P-17 vs. Climate Control Founder

Both frames are prescription-ready and ANSI Z87.1+ certified, but the Founder ($119) adds a removable foam gasket that seals out wind, dust, and debris more aggressively than the P-17's wraparound design alone. If you ride in extreme weather, work in dusty environments, or need maximum protection, the Founder's Climate Control system is worth the extra $18.

The P-17 ($101) is sleeker, lighter, and less tactical-looking—better for everyday wear, commuting, and situations where you want safety-rated eyewear that doesn't scream "jobsite." The wraparound design still blocks peripheral light and wind effectively for most riders and outdoor users.

Our recommendation: The P-17 is the better all-around choice for motorcyclists, cyclists, and workers who want versatile, low-profile safety eyewear. The Founder is the pick for extreme conditions or when you need the absolute maximum seal against the elements.
