Wiley X Glasses

Who Makes Wiley X Eyewear?

Wiley X began in 1987 as Protective Optics, founded by U.S. Army veteran Myles Freeman Sr. The company describes itself as second-generation and family-owned. Its stated mission is to build protective eyewear. Wiley X says its eyewear meets or exceeds at least one of these standards: ANSI Z87.1+, MIL-PRF-32432(GL), MIL-PRF-32432A and ASTM F803.

Wiley X Saber Advanced and Vapor Shooting Glasses

The Saber Advanced is a high-wrap frame with interchangeable lenses and an adjustable nose piece. Wiley X lists it to MIL-PRF-32432A ballistic and ANSI Z87.1+ standards. We carry matte black and tan frames with a smoke gray, clear and light rust lens set, plus a two-lens smoke gray and clear version. The Vapor line is also available with smoke gray and clear lenses. Browse all eye protection at Safety Glasses.

Wiley X Valor and Spear Eye Protection

The Valor is a semi-rimless, high-wrap frame with anti-fog treatment and rubber temples. We stock it in Medium with smoke gray, clear and light rust lenses. The Spear is a goggle style with interchangeable lenses, an anti-fog feature and a removable Facial Cavity Seal. Wiley X lists the Spear to ANSI Z87.1+ and MIL-PRF-32432A. Our Spear goggles come in matte black and tan frames.

Wiley X Captivate Safety Sunglasses

The Founder, Apex, Axe, Peak and Alpine are sunglass styles with Captivate lenses, many in mirror finishes such as blue, green, black and tungsten. Wiley X lists ANSI Z87.1+ for these frames, and the Apex and Axe pages tie that rating to their side shields. Both use shatterproof polycarbonate lenses. Lens style differs by listing, so check each frame to see whether the Captivate lens is polarized.

Wiley X Alfa, Ovation, Sierra, Trek and Twisted

We also carry the Alfa, Ovation, Sierra, Trek, Omega and Twisted lines, plus Breach 2.5, Citadel and Saint frames. These come in smoke gray, bronze, red, blue and green mirror lenses on black, tan, tortoise and crystal frames. Ear protection that pairs with glasses is at Passive Ear Protection and Active Ear Protection.

Choosing Wiley X Lenses and Fit

Smoke gray cuts glare in bright light, while clear lenses suit indoor ranges. Light rust is the third tint in the three-lens sets. Frames that wrap the face protect against ejected brass from the side. Choose a slim temple if you wear earmuffs, and read the head-size fit on each Wiley X listing.
