The innovators at Wiley X® Eyewear recognize that American workers deserve the same level of performance and vision protection as American soldiers. So this leading provider of protective eyewear for U.S. armed forces has introduced a full line of durable, comfortable and fashionable products destined to become the new face of safety for American industry. The new Wiley X Safety Series includes stylish Climate Control models with the company’s patented Facial Cavity Seal£ technology, as well as models based on Wiley X’s proven tactical glasses. What separates this state-of-the-art eyewear from traditional “safety glasses” is Wiley X’s battlefield-proven protection. Each of these models features distortion-free clear lenses and frames that exceed ANSI Z87.1-2003 High Velocity Impact Safety and Optical Standards. Wiley X’s shatterproof Selenite polycarbonate lenses offer superior protection against hazards of the workplace, while the company’s virtually unbreakable frames have been proven in the toughest environments on the planet. Wiley X offers five Climate Control Safety Series models — the Jake, AirRage, Blink, Airborne and Brick — to accommodate a wide range of head sizes and facial structures. Each model utilizes a patented, removable, soft foam Facial Cavity Seal for a comfortable fit and advanced protection against wind, dust and flying debris. Wiley X’s Top Down Ventilation System ensures wearer comfort and prevents fogging, even during strenuous activity. These glasses not only provide protection against industrial dangers, they ensure comfortable eyes and sharp vision during the most grueling tasks. The versatile safety series will also feature models with Wiley X’s industry-leading Light Adjusting lenses. This unique technology enables the tint of the advanced lenses to automatically lighten or darken in response to exposure to UV rays — eliminating the need to change glasses when going from indoors to outside on the job site. Other Wiley X Safety Series glasses include the goggle-style SG-1, the wrap design PT-1, and the new Romer II and XL-1 Advanced eye protection systems. These MIL-SPEC glasses combine all day wearing comfort with superior impact protection. In fact, they arerated to protect the eyes from a .15 caliber projectile traveling at 650 fps. Wiley X’s entire Safety Series features frames that are prescription ready, eliminating the need for inferior protective glasses to be worn over prescription eyewear. “Our company got its start manufacturing eyewear for markets that rely on impact protection, so in a way, this new launch is simply the natural evolution of our product line,” says Myles Freeman, Jr., President of Sales for Wiley X Eyewear. “Today, however, we’re introducing an entirely new concept to address the complex needs in vision protection for the workforce. Protecting employees — especially their vision — is far too important to trust to run-of-the-mill spectacles or safety goggles. We believe companies will see the wisdom of investing in comfortable, stylish glasses that offer superior protection for workers all day long.”
