140 dollars. Wow, nope.

They are priced competitively with Oakley and Wiley X. That style doesn't fit my pumpkin head, but I'd look at them if they did. They are the correct type of material for shooters. They are safety rated so the can serve double duty.

Here is a thread on M4C that the manufacturer started and is responding to questions:

Oakley’s biggest selling point for me was made in America...I had friends who worked there and were sponsored by them.

Then Luxottica bought them, and moved most production to China.

People I know lost jobs.
The cut back grass-roots racing sponsorships.

These magpul glasses would only appeal to me if made in America. And since I’m not seeing that mentioned, I assume they’re made elsewhere...?

Asked and answered over on M4C:
"Vegas, thanks for your question and interest. We make everything in the US that we can. Like the apparel, however, there are some things that factories just don't have the capability to do well here in the US right now. We are working on changing that. We intend to eventually get as much over here as we can if we can get some lens houses rolling in the US. We have chosen some of the best partners in the world for eyewear, we have representatives at the factories, and our engineers, designers, and product managers visit the factories regularly. Oh, and not in China."

Interesting.

My ex-Oakley insiders said nearly all glasses, no matter the brand name, were made in the US (which was basically just Oakley), Italy or China.

But that was years ago and things very well could have changed.
