To meet the stringent worldwide safety eyewear standards, Wiley X uses the lens material called polycarbonate. The flexibility and strength of polycarbonate enables it to stop the impact from a 12 gauge shotgun or fragments from an IED (Improvised Explosive Device). Wiley X applies anti-scratch coatings on all lenses to increase the lifetime and maintain a top of the line product.
Vermillion
The vermillion lens performs best in medium to low light conditions. They increase contrast, as they block blue light (HEV), as well as they sharpen contrast and brightens targets, while simultaneously improving your visual depth perception. A comfortable lens for longer wearing times
UVA/UVB Protection: 100%
Blue Light Protection: Yes
Transmission: 55%
Base Colour: 0
Lens Coating
Hard Coating Scratch resistant coating protects against damage and extends the life of the lens.
Safety Ratings
All Wiley X styles are ANSI rated and EN.166 certified. All frames and lenses are marked with the appropriate ANSI and EN.166 markings to meet legislative site requirements
ANSI HVP Frame and lens must withstand a 3,8 mm projectiles fired at 700-720 km/h (spectacle). Goggles must withstand 5,56 mm projectiles fired at a rate of 594-612 km/h. This ensures our lenses and frames are practically indestructible. Meets or exceeds (US) MIL-PRF-32432 Ballistic and MCEP (Military Combat Eye Protection) standards which supersede all MIL-SPEC standards.
Ballistic Frame and lens must withstand the impact of a 6.35 mm steel ball fired at 164,6 km/h. The lens must remain in the frame and is not to shatter. The frame must remain intact as well. Meets or exceeds (US.) ANSI Z87.1 High Velocity impact safety and optical standards.
EN.166 F Certified and tested according to the EN.166 (F) norm. EN 166 is a European standard for personal eye protection, and the (F) subcategory specifies the requirements for protective eyewear with optically correct lenses. The standard sets out the performance criteria for impact resistance, lens transparency, and resistance to aging, ensuring that protective eyewear provides adequate protection against various hazards. The lens must withstand the impact of a 6 mm steel ball weighing 0,86 gram fired at 162 km/h and intact and not shatter. – EU. Personal Eye-Protection Standard.
