Eyewear innovator Wiley X®, Inc. has added a new model to its growing Black Ops Collection — the new polarized WX Twisted. A member of the company’s Street Series™ family, this stylish and functional sunglass combines a stealthy look with the state-of-the-art protection that has made Wiley X a leading provider of protective eyewear to U.S. military, law enforcement, Secret Service and other tactical wearers. The addition of Wiley X’s polarized lenses ensures sharp, distraction-free vision in a variety of high-glare situations, whether patrolling near water, out on the highway or in the “urban jungle.”
Like all Black Ops Collection glasses, the WX Twisted features an understated, wraparound Matte Black frame that provides excellent coverage and fit for medium to large size faces. This virtually indestructible frame is outfitted with versatile, shatterproof Polarized Smoke Grey lenses utilizing Wiley X’s advanced Filter 8™ polarizing technology — for clear vision under a wide range of light conditions.
Another trademark of Wiley X and the Black Ops Collection is superior vision protection for every mission. The new Polarized Black Ops WX Twisted meets stringent ANSI-Z87.1 High Velocity and High Mass Impact Safety standards, protecting the wearer against a wide range of hazards. In fact, Wiley X is the only premium sunglass brand with this level of protection on every pair of glasses it makes.
Another important advantage of the Polarized Black Ops WX Twisted is Wiley X’s prescription ready design. Wearers who require corrective lenses can combine the occupational-grade protection of Wiley X with the customized prescription lenses they need to see clearly. This makes this new model an ideal, no-compromise solution for operatives who require corrective lenses on the job and off.
On the PVA National Trapshoot Circuit, disabled shooters and able-bodied shooters compete as equals in challenging trapshoot events. In its 17th year, this exciting circuit will include competitive shooting events around the country, where the new WX Valor Model #CHVAL06 — a member of Wiley X’s battle-proven Changeable Series — will be worn by staff, directors and volunteers. In addition, Wiley X protective eyewear will be included in prize packages for the winners. These advanced glasses combine crystal clear vision with protection that meets the new GL-PD 10-12 MCEP standard (which supersedes the MIL-PRF-31013 Ballistic Standard) for combat protective eyewear, as well as ANSI Z87.1 High Velocity and High Mass Impact Safety standards for occupational-grade protection. This Changeable Series model is ideal for shooting sports, because it comes as a three-lens package (Smoke Grey, Clear, Light Rust) that allows shooters to switch lenses based on light conditions.
Since its introduction, Wiley X®, Inc.’s Black Ops Collection has been known for its stealthy good looks and militarygrade vision protection. Now, with the addition of the new Polarized WX Censor to the collection, law enforcement, Secret Service and other tactical wearers can add the visual acuity and proven glare-cutting performance of Wiley X polarized lenses to the list.
It’s estimated that 40,000 Americans receive eye injuries while participating in sports every year. This is a sobering statistic, especially considering that studies have shown that 90% of eye injuries could have been prevented simply by wearing protective eyewear. These are just some of the reasons why Wiley X, Inc. continues to support Sports Eye Safety Month, an annual effort each April to educate and inform the American public about the dangers of sports related eye injuries and the proper use of protective eyewear.
