WILEY X EYEWEAR® UNLEASHES NEW SG-1 AND XL-1 TACTICAL EYEWEAR SYSTEMS WITH ADVANCED LIGHT ADJUSTING BALLISTIC LENSES
Wiley X Eyewear® has introduced two new tactical eyewear systems that combine the company’s battlefield-proven ballistic protection with advanced light adjusting lenses designed to rapidly respond to changes in ambient light. With these new models — the Wiley X SG-1 and Wiley X XL-1 — tactical field operators can perform with full confidence that their eyes are protected and their vision will stay eagle-sharp under changing conditions.
These latest innovations prove that this veteran-owned company isn’t resting on its laurels, even after more than 20 years as a leading provider of ballistic eye protection equipment. The breadth of the Wiley X tactical line makes it a reliable, sole source for all ballistic eyewear needs.
Both of these new systems are U.S. Mil-PRF-31013 VO Ballistic Impact certified. They also meet stringent ANSI Z87.1-2003 High Velocity Impact safety and optical standards. Both feature new matte black frames made of heat resistant material designed to protect eyes from wind, sun, glare and fragmentation. The two systems are designed to easily convert from ballistic eyewear to tactical goggle and are NVG (Night Vision Goggle) compatible. The Wiley X SG-1 (Model 71) is Authorized Protective Eyewear List (APEL) approved.
Wiley X has been producing high performance, ballistic photo chromic eyewear for more than five years. Both the new Wiley X SG-1 and XL-1 are offered with advanced new Light Adjusting lenses, designed to lighten or darken 33-percent faster than the competition. This rapid photo chromic response gives wearers the visual edge they need to succeed in any mission. These advanced 8-base Selenite™ polycarbonate lenses provide 100-percent UVA/UVB protection and distortion free clarity. Both also feature Wiley X’s T-Shell™ and Foil™ lens coatings for anti-scratch and anti-fog protection in extreme environments. In addition to Light Adjusting lenses, both the Wiley X SG-1 and
XL-1 are offered with changeable smoke/clear lenses, light rust lenses and polarized lens options.
Included in the many notable features of the Wiley X SG-1 is an Ultra Foam™ lining for a perfect facial seal with Wiley X’s Top Down™ ventilation for added protection and comfort. The standard lens cylinder of the Wiley X SG-1 also utilizes vent ports for added ventilation.
The design of Wiley X’s innovative new XL-1 features double-injected temples that grip the head for a secure, yet comfortable fit, along with an Ultra Foam gasket than can be worn to create a facial seal or removed depending on conditions. No other product in this class offers this combination of protection and versatility.
