CLIMATE CONTROL™ BRICK™ SUNGLASSES ARE STYLISH, COMFORTABLE
AND READY TO RIDE
The same things that make motorcycle riding fun — the wind in your face and a direct connection between rider, road and
environment — can take a serious toll on your eyes. Wiley X® Eyewear knows this, and offers its Brick™ Climate Control
Series™ model to provide riders with unparalleled protection, visual acuity and comfort whenever and wherever they hit the road.
The Brick combines stylish good looks with the unique protection of Wiley X’s Climate Control Series. At the heart of this protection
is a nearly indestructible frame and Wiley X’s soft removable foam Facial Cavity Seal™. This patented design creates a protective
“cocoon” for the rider’s eyes against hazards like wind, dust, debris and peripheral light. As a result, the Brick prevents tearing and
“dry eye” — one of the rider’s biggest enemies — while improving eye comfort and vision during long, hard days on the road. In addition,
Wiley X’s unique Top Down™ Ventilation ensures proper airflow, reducing fogging even in the hottest and harshest highway environments.
Wiley X’s Brick meets stringent ANSI Z87.1-2003 High Velocity and High Mass Impact standards.. In fact, Wiley X
is the only premium performance sunglass brand whose entire line meets this ANSI safety standard. Wiley X’s advanced eye protection ensures
that riders’ eyes are not only cool and comfortable, but safe from kicked up rocks, low-hanging limbs, flying insects and other road dangers.
The Wiley X Brick is ideal for Medium to Large sized faces, and is offered in a variety of frame and lens combinations — including Metallic
Black frames with Wiley X’s LA™ Light Adjusting Smoke Grey lenses. With Wiley X’s light adjusting technology, these lenses darken as the
brightness of the sun dictates and are perfect for dusk and night riding as they lighten when the sun sets. Other popular choices include Wiley X’s
stylish Crystal Metallic frame with distinctive Silver Flash lenses (featuring Smoke Grey tint). The Brick is also RX ready, making it an ideal choice for
riders who require corrective lenses.

WILEY X® MAKES COMMITMENT TO MOTORCYCLE SAFETY AWARENESS MONTH
Eyewear Manufacturer Spreads Safety Tips for Motorcyclists and Automobile Drivers Alike
Wiley X®, the leading manufacturer of protective eyewear for motorcyclists is honored to support Motorcycle Safety
Awareness Month this May. The movement aims to encourage motorists to share the road with motorcycle riders as well
as remind motorcyclists to follow some simple tips to keep themselves as safe as possible.
According to a study sponsored in part by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) the most
deadly injuries to motorcyclist victims were injuries to the chest and head. Morever, 73 percent of accident-involved
motorcycle riders used no eye protection. Researchers believe it is likely that wind on unprotected eyes contributed
in the impairment of vision, which delayed hazard detection.
“What is most painful, is a vast number of fatal motorcycle accidents could be avoided by wearing proper gear,
including safety eyewear,” said Wiley X Eyewear Co-Owner Myles Freeman, Jr. “Our goal as a company is two-fold:
to make the highest-quality protective eyewear available, and to make it look good.”
Wiley X offers a complete line of sunglass and goggle options designed specifically for motorcylists. Wiley X’s
popular Climate Control™ series has a patented, removable soft foam Facial Cavity™ Seal with Top Down™ Ventilation
that seals out wind, debris and reflected light while preventing fogging, ideal features for motorcyclists driving
in a wide variety of road conditions.
Motorcycle riders can also choose from the company’s motorcycle goggle series which have been lab and road-tested
to shield eyes from high-velocity impact. In fact, Wiley X is the only premium performance sunglass manufacturer
whose entire line – sunglasses and goggles – meets ANSI Z87.1-2003 high velocity and high mass impact and optical
performance standards. In addition, all Wiley X goggles exceed stringent military specifications for ballistic impact
protection giving motorcycle riders the highest protection available from high speed objects.
Wearing protective clothing and eyewear is just one of a number of tips the NHTSA offers to motorists and motorcyclists.
Other tips include:
 |
Motorists
• Allow greater following distance behind a motorcycle.
• Be extra cautious in intersections. Most crashes occur when a motorist fails to see a motorcyclist and turns left in front of a motorcycle.
• Give a motorcycle the full lane width – never try to share a lane.
Motorcyclists
• Avoid riding in poor weather conditions.
• Position motorcycle in lane where you will be out of a motorist’s blind spot.
• Use turn signals for every turn or lane change.

GIVE RIDERS THE COMFORT AND PROTECTION THEY NEED TO RULE THE OPEN ROAD
LIVERMORE, Calif. (August 27, 2009) -- The latest innovation from Wiley X® Eyewear — the new Reign™
(Model #SSREI02) — is built for comfort and for speed. In other words,
it’s built to meet the varied and demanding needs of motorcycle riders,
including being ANSI safety certified. It features a thick, matte black frame
that combines superior coverage with a rugged styling. The lightweight
design and comfortable, secure fit of this new frame make the Wiley X
Reign a pleasure to wear, even during all-day rides.
Wiley X Eyewear’s reputation is built on serious protection, and the new Reign is no exception. In keeping with the

Combined with Wiley X’s High Velocity Protection™ (HVP™) Selenite polycarbonate lenses, these glasses protect
riders from the worst the road can throw at them — airborne debris, flying insects, kicked-up rocks, you name it.
These incredible lenses have even been tested to withstand twenty .25 caliber pellets fired at 150 fps — so you know
that they’re road ready. This comprehensive level of protection is why Wiley X is a leading provider of protective
eyewear to U.S. armed forces in action around the world.
Wiley X’s advanced lenses also provide riders with 100% protection from harmful UVA/UVB rays. This model’s
versatile grey tint reduces eyestrain and provides maximum glare reduction along with excellent visual acuity and
helps riders “read the road” under a wide range of light and weather conditions. The Reign can also be fitted with a
prescription lens if necessary. Each pair of Wiley X Reign sunglasses includes a leash cord and strong
zippered case.
