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.

Wiley X, Inc has expanded its unique and shadowy Black Ops Collection of performance protective eyewear with the addition of five new-for-2012 models:  the WX Valor, WX Rush, WX Censor, WX Gravity and WX Twisted.  All Black Ops Collection shades feature Smoke Grey lenses and stealthy, Rx-ready Matte Black frames.

The Wiley X Black Ops Collection is the leading choice of law enforcement, Secret Service and other tactical wearers, combining a sleek, understated appearance with Wiley X’s proven high-velocity protection.  Yet, the Black Ops Collection is available to all people who demand glasses with Wiley X’s exclusive combination of shatterproof protection and stealthy
good looks.

Twisted

The new Black Ops WX Valor is part of Wiley X’s popular Changeable Series.  This ballistic quality spectacle is one of many Changeable Series glasses provided to the military market, meeting the updated GL-PD 10-12 MCEP Standard (superseding the MIL-PRF 31013 Ballistic Standard). These tactical sunglasses are designed for easy changing of optional lenses in the field, for the ultimate in versatility — with additional lenses available in Grey, Clear and Rust.

Valor

The new Black Ops WX Gravity is the latest addition to the company’s popular Climate Control Series, providing wearers with sleek wraparound styling and superior protection against the elements.  Key to the Climate Control Series’ performance is Wiley X’s removable Facial Cavity Seal, designed to seal out reflected light as well as airborne dust, sand and other debris.  These properties make Wiley X Climate Control sunglasses ideal for preventing Dry Eye Syndrome in challenging environments.  The WX Gravity also meets the updated GL-PD 10-12 Standard for ballistic eye protection.

Wiley X’s popular Active Series of sunglasses features a new Black Ops edition of the new WX Rush.  These stylish shades are ideal for those who want clear vision and advanced protection during a wide range of outdoor activities.  They feature a rubber nose and temple grips for a secure, comfortable fit, even when the action gets hot and sweaty.

Wiley X has also added two new Black Ops models — the Black Ops WX Censor and Black Ops WX Twisted — to its growing Street Series of sunglasses.   Like all Street Series models, these two styles are ready for anything, providing clear vision and Wiley X’s state-of-the-art protection in town, on the road or in the wild.  The WX Censor also meets the updated GL-PD 10-12 Standard for ballistic protection.

Each one of these new Black Ops sunglass models has earned the stringent ANSI-Z87.1-2003 High Velocity and High Mass impact safety rating, providing the wearer with advanced protection against a wide range of dangers — from blowing dust and kicked up rocks to low hanging limbs and flying insects.   Wiley X is the only premium performance sunglass brand whose entire line meets this coveted ANSI safety rating.
