Lens Technology:
At Wiley X, we produce our lenses using the precise
amount of dyes in the manufacturing process, eliminating eye fatigue
and strain. All Wiley X lenses block 400 nanometers or 100% of the
suns harmful ultra violet rays. Each lens is made from pure shatterproof
selenite polycarbonate and far exceed ANSI Z87.1 safety and ANSI Z80.3
optical standards. We then formulate and die-cut each lens to eliminate
distortion, giving the user perfect optical clarity. These features,
combined with a wide range of performance enhancing tints, work together
to provide the ultimate in eye protection without optical compromise.
LA™
Light Adjusting Lenses: Developed for the G-Line exclusively,
this new shooting lens technology adjusts the light transmission levels
of each tint, according to the amount of sun exposure. This maximizes
target definition based on light condition, providing perfect optical
clarity and enhanced performance at any time of day.
Neutral
Slate Lenses: Provide maximum glare protection without distorting
colors. Ideal for most activities where bright sun and glare is a
major factor.
Clear
as Crystal Lenses: Allow maximum light transmission without
changing the value of colors. The clear choice for hazy, overcast,
dusk, dawn, or night where clear protected site is the main objective.
Bronze
Brown Lenses: Offer excellent visual definition and glare
reduction in bright light conditions. It's the most suitable lens
to sharpen and enhance ground level contours.
Pale
Yellow Lenses: Best suited for use in low light conditions
where enhancement is needed. Yellow lenses naturally block blue light
with cause visual haze and will increase visual clarity. Excellent
lens for clay, trap, target and operational shooting
Lens Technology Cont:
Light
Rust Lenses: Filter blue light waves which are the chief
components of glare and haze. These lenses provide contrast enhancements
in medium to low light conditions. Excellent lens for clay, trap,
target and operational shooting.
Smoke
Green Lenses: Great for general purpose use. These lenses
provide maximum glare reduction without distorting colors. Ideal for
activities where bright sun and glare are a major factor.
Pale
Rose Lenses / Vermillion Lenses: Improve details and enhances
depth perception when encountering low or artificial light conditions.
These lenses naturally bring out the intensity of warm colors. Excellent
lens for clay, trap, target and operational shooting.
Violet
Lenses: Excellent glare reducer. This blended lens of Neutral
Slate and Vermillion hues provides excellent contrast of orange targets
against a blue sky or green to brown background.
Mirror
Lenses: Multi-Coat, Z-Oxide™ mirror finish over our
Neutral Slate lenses. Diminishes glare by absorbing reflection across
the mirror face.
Modular Goggles Series: Wiley X
has devoted a specific department to the development and creation
of new and innovative designs based on feedback from soldiers and
officers in the field. These ballistic, modular systems combine several
eye protecting functions in one. Wiley X prides itself on designing
modular eye protection that can be worn for multiple applications.
Single lens units and interchangeable one, two and three lens systems
have been designed to function in any application where clear, protected
sight is needed.
Interchangeable Series: Multiple, interchangeable
frame systems allow for different lens combinations when weather is
changing from dusk till dawn. Triloid nylon frames are virtually unbreakable
and designed to cut wind and eliminate backlit glare. Slot™
technology forms the interchangeable system, making the changing of
lenses hassle free.
Wiley X continues to be the most widely used goggle
on soldiers conducting Operation Enduring and Iraqi Freedom. The SG-1,
seen on the cover of Time Magazine, has been heralded as the replacement
for the outdated Sun, Dust and Wind goggle. Our modular philosophy
gives the soldier a multi-functional eyewear system in one. Wiley
X provides the NSN's for numerous products below, improving the safety,
comfort, and performance for all of our fine men and women in the
Armed services.
Working closely with Special Forces we focused on a modular goggle
for the new millennium soldier. Our new CQC goggle provides all around
function, for all operations conducted. It's streamlined design cuts
through the wind and fits the face closely and tightly. Whether you
need protection for urban warfare, land warfare, sun, dust, wind or
snow, this goggle has it all.
Having worked closely with the 82nd and 101st ABN we consider ourselves
experts in designing functional goggles for all ABN conditions. The
new CQC goggle is an excellent jump goggle. It's streamlined design
cuts through the wind and fits the face closely and tightly.
Whether you need protection for urban warfare, land
warfare, sun, dust, wind or snow, this goggle has it all. The few
ballistic goggle designs that are even on the market right now are
large, uncomfortable, one dimensional and cumbersome. Their straps
have to be worn over the top of a soldier's helmet and never give
a good seal on an individuals face. When questioned all services stated
they wanted a more streamlined goggle that was more comfortable and
didn't sit so far away from the face. Traditional goggles often give
the wearer tunnel vision. Our CQC goggle can be worn with its strap,
under the helmet, which greatly improves fit and comfort. This also
improves vision as the goggle is designed to sit very close to the
face. Our new CQC goggle (along with our SG-1 design) can even be
worn with night vision.
Traditional protective goggles use foam that breaks
down over a short amount of time. Some don't use foam at all and have
opted for a rubber ridge to pad the users face. This rubber type of
ridge gets slippery when the wearer sweats and becomes very uncomfortable
over a period of time. The Wiley X CQC goggle uses our exclusive "Ultra
Foam" seal which is far more durable than traditional foam and
much more comfortable than the rubber ridge used by competitors.
The CQC goggle comes equipped with 2 sets (neutral
slate / clear) of ballistic polycarbonate. Each lens is 2.5mm thick
and clear coated with our proprietary anti-fog solution giving the
user perfect, unobstructed vision. Add our silicone, scratch resistant
coating and you have the best optical quality, ballistic lenses available.
The new CQC goggle is also modular. It converts from
a ballistic goggle into a set of fully functional eyewear with just
a push of a button. Now when a soldier is in his or her down time
they can attach the temples and wear the product as a sunglass providing
100% Ultra Violet protection.
For added protection, the CQC goggle has protective
side shields that can be attached in either sunglass or goggle form.
This gives the user extra peripheral and temporal protection not offered
in any other goggle design.
Our CQC goggle comes with two sets of ballistic,
anti-fog lenses (neutral slate, clear), temples, elastic strap, and
soft case for storage.
We spent the last two years developing one of the most sophisticated
Polarized lines, for both Casual and Active customers alike. We've
taken basic polarized lens technology to a whole new level. By combining
our new Filter 8™ Polarized film with Violet 4™ Anti-Reflective
and Slick™ Hydophilic coatings, we have maximized visual performance.
Our new Seal-Tek™ technology allows the user to seal his / hers
eye's while fishing, boating, or doing anything active. This "Clear
Eye Housing" allows the user to perform at their best and not
be distracted by reflections or the environment. Remove the seal and
you have a great pair of shades in any casual setting. Try a pair
and see the difference.
Lens Anatomy: Optical protection and perfection are
achieved with the new Wiley X Filter 8™ Polarized Lenses. UV400
Lenses provide 100% Ultra Violet Protection and 99.9% Polarization
from the sun's harmful rays. Multi-Coat Systems achieve maximum clarity
by cutting glare, eliminating reflection, and whisking away moisture.
No matter what light condition encountered, our lenses deliver superior
quality without optical compromise.
