PROTECTION
Founded on supplying military forces and law enforcement personnel with top-of-the-line ballistic eyewear, Wiley X continues to hold safety as our priority, adopting this approach for building our entire line and building eyewear with shatterproof Selenite™ polycarbonate lenses and super-tough Triloid™ frames to provide the highest levels of protection available From our ANSI Z87 1+ ballistic rated sunglasses to our APEL-approved ballistic goggles, Wiley X is continually innovating to deliver unparalleled protection, clarity, and style in every pair of glasses we build
ANSI HIGH MASS IMPACT TEST
Advertisement
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
