Similar to Rec Specs

[newguyaroundhere]

Need help ladies and gentlemen. My bosses are looking for frame lines that are similar to the Rec Specs from Liberty Sport. I know Wiley X launched a youth program earlier this year and I think Hilco may still have some that can be ordered. Does anyone know of any other lines similar to these that are out there available to bring in?

Many Thanks

Don't know anything else, but I got the Wiley x "youthforce" and they are cool, much nicer and slightly cheaper than the rec specs. I actually have a couple kids liked them enough to wear as full time glasses, which never happened with the clunky recspecs. Also the temple to elastic band conversion is cool, and the colors are good.

The Wiley X Youth Force are the best sports glasses I've ever seen. The larger styles can also fit non-XL-sized adult faces.

Hilco does have many options with youth sizes, all shapes and colors.

In terms of patient approval:

1) WileyX YouthForce. Kids are asking for them! Conversion system rocks.
2) Progear. Kids will wear them. Reluctantly
3) Leader/Hilco. Kids turn up nose, and parents will typically complain of "cheap" hard plastic feel.

WileyX is very well received here

Saw the Wiley-X. Do they hold up?

So far, they have held up very well. Everyone is very happy with the results, including the RX program.

They just came out in April, so it's early. But the adult Wiley X lines have always performed very well, and the Youth Force is just cool as heck.

Thanks to all of you for the feedback.

Can you get the Wiley X without having the Wiley Sun program? Or should I just get that too?

[Jubilee]

To the best of my knowledge you can do just the Youth Force. I know they make some displays/POP specifically for it.

I will be bringing in both. One of our opticians is a rider, and has a cult following of cycle enthusiasts. We have brought in a lot of business because of it. The fact the suns can double as safety as well makes it a dual purpose line. Only thing I HATE is their off shoot they have at Walmart.

We had a 12-piece buy-in for Youth Force, but we would need to do ANOTHER 12-piece buy-in if we want any adult Wiley frames. At my previous office, where we already had adult Wileys, there was a smaller buy-in for Youth Force.
