Wiley X® Eyewear is proud to support Workplace Eye Wellness Month, a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of work-related eye injuries and educate America's workforce about the importance of proper vision protection.

According to statistics from Prevent Blindness America, more than 700,000 Americans injure their eyes at work each year. This same study finds that 90% of all workplace eye injuries could be prevented by using proper safety eyewear. Wiley X launched its extensive Safety Series of performance protective eyewear products, designed to provide American workers with the same proven High Velocity Protection (HVP™) found in many Wiley X styles utilized on the field of battle.

Each pair of Wiley X sunglasses — whether intended for work, play or tactical use — offers an advanced level of protection. All Wiley X Eyewear models meet the coveted ANSI Z87.1-2003 rating for high velocity and high mass impact and optical performance standards. To pass this rigorous test, all Wiley X frames and lenses must be able to withstand repeated strikes from a .25-caliber projectile fired at 150 fps, as well as the impact of a pointed, 1.1-lb. projectile dropped from a height of 50 inches.

Among Wiley X's Safety Series products are seven Climate Control™ series models — the new Curve, as well as the popular Jake, AirRage, Blink, Airborne, Brick and Rout. Each of these models features Wiley X's patented removable, soft foam Facial Cavity Seal to keep wind, dust and debris out of the wearers' eyes. Wiley X's Top Down™ Ventilation System increases comfort for the wearer and reduces fogging, even during strenuous work activities. Wiley X's Safety line also includes the Changeable Series models like the XL-1 Advanced and Saber Advanced which allow for easy removal and replacement of lenses to adapt to changing work conditions. The Active Series models, like the popular P-17, and Goggles like the battlefield proven SG-1 are also widely chosen in the workplace.

In addition to protection from various workplace injuries, Wiley X's range of available shatterproof Selenite™ polycarbonate lenses are engineered to enhance visual acuity and reduce eyestrain under almost all working conditions. Each product in Wiley X's Safety line is also prescription ready, further enhancing comfort and safety by eliminating the need for inferior protective glasses to be worn over prescription eyewear.

Wiley X's superior design, technology and comfort are the primary factors commercial and industrial employers mention for their workers wanting to wear their safety glasses. “American workers demand similar protection of the American soldier. This was the concept behind the launch of our Safety Series products,” said Wiley X Eyewear President of Sales Myles Freeman, Jr. “We knew that if we could combine the highest level of protection with style and comfort, workers would be more likely to actually wear the eye protection they need. We fully support the message of Workplace Eye Wellness Month, and appreciate this important effort to raise overall awareness of protecting a worker's most valuable asset — his vision,” added Freeman.

Bring on the dirt. Bring on the glare. Bring on the wind. Bring it all on because you'll be ready with the Wiley X® Airborne™ safety-rated sunglasses built tough enough for work, but cool enough for play. From machining to assembly to work on an oil rig, these RX-ready glasses have been designed specifically for the special safety needs of the industrial workplace. A member of the Wiley X feature-packed Climate Control™ Series, the Airborne glasses were created by the same designers that developed the company's U.S. Military grade glasses. This means precision, safety and ultra functionality were principal factors when crafting these performance safety glasses.

The design of the Wiley X Airborne begins with meticulously crafted comfort and fit. The Airborne includes Wiley X's patented removable Facial Cavity™ seal made of soft, comfortable foam, which easily snaps in and out of the frame, virtually presenting a pair of glasses and goggles in one. The seal works to keep wind, dust and debris out of the wearers' eyes and features the company's special Top Down™ Ventilation to prevent fogging while hard at work.

The Wiley X Airborne glasses are constructed from some of the world's most indestructible materials. The ANSI Z87.1-2003 safety-certified frames are fashioned from tough Triloid Nylon, so they can stand up to even the most challenging work environments.

The Airborne lenses play two vital roles: providing for paramount clarity as well as ultimate safety. Far exceeding ANSI Z87.1-2003 safety and optical standards, each lens is crafted from shatterproof Selenite™ Polycarbonate and is finished with a scratch-resilient T-Shell™ hardcoat to protect against scratches and nicks. The Airborne is available in various lens tints including smoke grey, polarized smoke green, LA™ Light Adjusting bronze and clear.

While safety and clarity came first, perhaps the best thing about the Wiley X Airborne glasses is that designers have taken all this advanced technology and transformed it into great-looking glasses that workers will want to wear. With frames available in gloss black, matte black and metallic black, the Airborne is a truly striking pair of glasses. Fitting medium to large head sizes the Airborne can also be fitted with prescription safety lenses that meet ANSI Z87.1-2003 safety requirements.

When it comes to protection, no one beats Wiley X, the only premium performance sunglass manufacturer whose entire line meets ANSI Z87.1-2003 high velocity and high mass impact standards.

US workers are known for facing the job at hand with true American pride and workmanship — even when doing the job involves an element of danger in the shop or in the yard. Industry leader Wiley X? Eyewear has been tailoring solutions with that same rugged work ethic and pride in keeping workers safe for decades. Now with the launch of the newest member of the acclaimed Changeable Series, the Wiley X Saber Advanced?, it delivers even greater levels of protection and visual clarity than ever before.

Setting the benchmark for achievement and safety is an ongoing commitment for the company. Wiley X is the only premium sunglass manufacturer that has official ANSI Z87.1-2003 high velocity and high mass impact standards certification on its entire product line. Wiley X products not only have the official stamp of ANSI certification on both lenses and frames, its products even exceed those requirements. In fact, the new Wiley X Saber Advanced meets stringent MIL-PRF-31013 military ballistic standards as well as ANSI Z87.1-2003 high impact certification (OSHA Occupational Eye Protection) — with a solid 3.0mm thick lens — the thickest, most durable lens available in the tactical eyewear market. These unparalleled lenses are made of scratch-resistant and shatterproof Selenite™ polycarbonate, and are backed up with the company’s signature High Velocity Protection™ (HVP™) to present an unencumbered field of view while keeping eyes safe from flying objects like metal shards, rocks and debris.

Wiley X safety eyewear has helped protect thousands of workers ranging from manufacturing and energy operations to petroleum fields, construction sites and the gulf oil clean up. And the unique Wiley X Saber Advanced is no different — it’s engineered for high performance in the face of the most demanding environments on the globe. As most savvy workplaces require their personnel to cross train to work smart and lean, this new shield does more than double duty, with five versatile lens systems, so it can be changed in seconds to meet the changing work environment. From the rugged new Saber Advanced X2 system, with two complete interchangeable systems in one —smoke grey and clear lenses, to the Saber Advanced Model #309, with its unique smoke grey/light rust/vermillion lens package, it’s ready to work right along with you. All five systems feature an Ultra Foam™ Brow Bar to keep distractions like sweat and debris off your face, unbreakable matte black frames, and a rugged, well-engineered design providing wrap-around protection that not only delivers powerful, ballistic impact resistance, but also provides 100% UVA and UVB protection. Even with all of these industry-leading features, it’s also the best value on the market (Single Lens Systems #302 and #303 have an MSRP of $38.00, while the Saber Advanced X2 has an unbeatable suggested retail price of $72.00.)

Most safety conscious workplaces require both eye and ear protection, so the Wiley X Saber Advanced is designed to allow seamless transition to effectively and comfortably pair with over-the-head hearing protection earmuffs. Simply remove the sturdy temple arms and then replace them with the included rugged, snap-in elastic strap to both reduce pressure on the head under a helmet and ensure a secure fit during jarring strides or rides.

Plus, the Wiley X Saber Advanced has an optional Rx plug-in that will soon be available to seamlessly fit most prescriptions, and has a tailored ‘take flight’ nose piece to adapt to a wide range of nose shapes and sizes — so it stays right in place until quitting time.
