ANSI HIGH MASS IMPACT TEST

Wiley X ANSI Z87 1+ frames and lenses must withstand the impact of a 1 1 lb projectile dropped from a height of 50” to ensure your eyes are protected from unexpected blunt force impacts

ANSI HIGH VELOCITY IMPACT TEST

Wiley X ANSI Z87 1+ frames and lenses must withstand the impact of a 25” diameter steel ball For spectacles the projectile must be traveling 150fps and for a goggle 250fps

V0 BALLISTICS

Several Wiley X eyewear models are tested to V0 ballistics which consists of a spectacle frame and lens being impacted with a 15 caliber projectile traveling 640-660 fps, or a goggle frame and lens with a 22 caliber projectile traveling 550-560 fps Wiley X eyewear models that are part of the Authorized Protective Eyewear List (APEL) are tested to the Alpha version of the V0 ballistics standard which consists of a spectacle frame and lens being impacted with a 15 caliber projectile traveling 700-725fps, or a goggle frame and lens with a 22 caliber projectile traveling 580-590fps Both tests are meant to simulate shrapnel potentially encountered on the battlefield

REMOVABLE FACIAL CAVITY SEALS

Fine dust and pollen, as well as wind, can cause REGULAR long-term eye irritation, such as Dry Eye Syndrome Peripheral light can also diminish optical clarity Wiley X’s removable soft foam Facial Cavity™ Seals block out even the finest irritants and peripheral light, protecting the eyes and allowing polarized lenses to perform at peak levels
