COMM temples
Slim eyewear arms reduce bulk beneath earmuffs and other ear-mounted hearing or communication equipment.
The Wiley X Vapor Comm three-lens set combines slim COMM temples with Clear, Grey and Light Rust lenses in a high-wrap Matte Tan frame. The temple design reduces bulk beneath earmuffs and other ear-mounted hearing or communication equipment, while the interchangeable lenses support substantially different light conditions. The complete frame-and-lens system has been assessed against a defined military fragment-impact requirement.
Product description
The COMM temples are slimmer than conventional eyewear arms, helping the frame fit beneath ear-mounted equipment where several items must be worn around the head and ears.
Grey reduces brightness in strong sunlight, Clear provides an untinted view indoors and in reduced light, and Light Rust increases contrast in medium- to low-light conditions. All three lenses fit the same frame.
A shapeable nose piece allows the nose fit to be refined for different bridges, while the Base Curve 7 frame provides a close-fitting, high-wrap profile.
Key features
Three-lens range
Clear, Grey and Light Rust cover distinct light and contrast requirements.
Interchangeable system
Each supplied lens fits the same frame.
Adjustable nose fit
The shapeable nose piece can be refined for different nose bridges.
UV and scratch protection
All three lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection and have a scratch-resistant coating.
Defined fragment-impact testing
The complete frame-and-lens system has been assessed against MIL-PRF-32432A.
Recommended use
This configuration is particularly relevant to tactical, defence and law-enforcement users who wear protective eyewear with ear-mounted hearing or communication equipment and may encounter changing light. Airsoft and hardball are credible secondary applications.
Fit & comfort
Designed to adjust, built to stay secure
The defining feature of the Vapor Comm is its slim temple design. The reduced temple thickness helps the eyewear fit beneath earmuffs and other ear-mounted equipment without promising the same fit or comfort with every wearer and equipment combination.

The Base Curve 7 frame provides a close-fitting, high-wrap profile. Its shapeable nose piece allows the fit at the nose to be refined for different bridges.
The frame is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon. Its Matte Tan finish provides a muted, non-glossy earth-tone appearance.
Lens details
Clear
89% light transmissionThe Clear lens allows a high proportion of available light through without adding a tint, helping colours retain their natural appearance. It is intended for indoor use, dawn, dusk, haze and overcast conditions.
Grey
15% light transmissionThe Grey lens reduces brightness and general glare in strong sunlight while keeping colours close to their natural appearance. It is intended for bright outdoor conditions rather than reduced-light environments.
Light Rust
52% light transmissionThe Light Rust lens filters selected blue light to help reduce glare and haze while increasing contrast. It is intended for medium- to low-light conditions where distinguishing details may otherwise be more difficult.
All three lenses are made from strong, durable Selenite™ polycarbonate and provide 100% UVA and UVB protection. Their T-Shell™ coating helps resist scratches and limit surface damage, although scratch-resistant does not mean scratch-proof.
Protection backed by defined testing
This configuration is assessed against ANSI Z87.1, MIL-PRF-32432A, EN.166F.
ANSI Z87.1
Assesses the complete eyewear against defined high-velocity and high-mass impact requirements. These include tests using a fast-moving 6.35 mm steel ball and a 500 g pointed falling projectile; the frame and lenses must remain intact during testing.
MIL-PRF-32432A
Assesses the complete frame-and-lens system against a defined American military fragment-impact requirement. Test velocities vary according to the relevant eyewear category.
EN.166F
Confirms that the complete eyewear has passed a defined low-energy impact test in which the lenses must remain in the frame and must not shatter under the specified conditions.
