Wiley X adds two new models

WILEY X ADDS TWO NEW MODELS AND EXPANDED FRAME COLORS TO ITS INNOVATIVE CLIMATE CONTROL FAMILY

WX Arrow and WX Knife Deliver Superior Comfort, Crystal Clear Vision and State-of-the-Art Protection for Work, Play and Outdoor Adventure

Wiley X®, Inc. has expanded its popular Climate Control™ sunglass family with the addition of two bold new models for 2014 as well as two new frame colors in popular existing styles.  The new models — the WX Arrow and the WX Knife — provide a combination of clear vision, comfort and vision protection that make them ideal for a wide range of applications.  With their occupational-grade vision protection and wide choice of lens options, these glasses are right at home in the most challenging workplace.  At the same time, their stylish looks and versatility make these new shades perfect companions for fishing, boating, motorcycle riding or just relaxing around town. 

The new WX Arrow and WX Knife are also the latest Wiley X styles designed to hold the innovative RX Rim System.  The Rx Rim System provides these already prescription ready frames with expanded prescription capabilities up to +5.00 and -7.00, making these models an ideal, no-compromise solution for workers and outdoor enthusiasts who require prescription lenses.

Both these new additions feature Wiley X’s patented, removable, soft-foam Facial Cavity™ Seal that blocks out wind, dust and peripheral light. This design enhances the wearer’s vision over a wide range of conditions and provides a comfortable, climate-controlled environment for the eyes.  The WX Arrow is offered in a wide range of configurations. Model ARROW (CCARR04) matches a distinctive Matte White frame with Smoke Grey tinted Polarized Silver Flash lenses, for sharp looking shades that provide the glare cutting performance for fishing, boating and other high-glare environments.

The new WX Knife (CCKNI04) is offered in a range of configurations as well, combining a Brown Crystal frame with versatile Polarized Bronze lenses. 

Whichever new Climate Control they choose, wearers can work and play knowing their eyes have the highest level of vision protection.  Every pair of Wiley X sunglasses meets stringent ANSI Z87.1 High Velocity and High Mass Impact Safety standards as well as EN.166, providing occupational grade protection for all wearers and a wide range of activities. Wiley X is the only premium sunglass brand with this level of vision protection in every pair of glasses it makes.
