Wiley X has a new line of glasses that look like they could pretty much stop a bullet. These five-new-for 2012 models include the WX Valor (left), the , WX Censor, WX Gravity and WX Twisted. All Black Ops Collection shades feature Smoke Grey lenses and stealthy, Rx-ready Matte Black frames.
While the Wiley X Black Ops Collection is the leading choice of law enforcement, Secret Service and other tactical wearers, you don’t need to need to have special clearance to wear these glasses. Each of these new Black Ops sunglass models meets the stringent ANSI-Z87.1-2003 High Velocity and High Mass impact safety rating.
Leading the way is the new Black Ops WX Valor, which is part of Wiley X’s popular Changeable Series, and the ballistic quality spectacle meets the updated GL-PD 10-12 MCEP Standard (superseding the MIL-PRF 31013 Ballistic Standard). These tactical sunglasses are designed for easy changing of optional lenses in the field, for the ultimate in versatility — with additional lenses available in Grey, Clear and Rust.
For those wanting something on the rugged side there is the new Black Ops WX Gravity, the latest addition to the Climate Control Series, which provides wearers with sleek wraparound styling and superior protection against the elements. Key to the Climate Control Series’ performance is Wiley X’s removable Facial Cavity Seal, designed to seal out reflected light as well as airborne dust, sand and other debris. These properties make Wiley X Climate Control sunglasses ideal for preventing Dry Eye Syndrome in challenging environments. The WX Gravity also meets the updated GL-PD 10-12 Standard for ballistic eye protection.
On the active front there is the WX Rush, part of the Active Series, which are for those who want clear vision and advanced protection during a wide range of outdoor activities. These offer a rubber nose and temple grips for a secure, comfortable fit, even when the action gets hot and sweaty.
And for life on the street, or at least from the Street Series, there is the Black Ops WX Censor and Black Ops WX Twisted; and these two styles are ready for anything, providing clear vision and Wiley X’s state-of-the-art protection in town, on the road or in the wild. The WX Censor also meets the updated GL-PD 10-12 Standard for ballistic protection.
These are glasses that promise to look good and protect from more than just the rays of the sun!
