We would like to thank you for your continued patronage. We are pleased to announce our new product, WX RECON Black Ops .

WX RECON Black Ops

WX RECON is designed for heavy use by tactical operators and is a 6-curve impact-resistant eyewear that meets the impact resistance standard Z87+ of the American National Standard/American Protective Eyewear Standard ANSI Z87.1 and the impact-resistant frame standard Z87-2+ designed for prescription lenses.

New WX logo

A new logo has been added to WILEY X. This new logo will be used in conjunction with the familiar traditional logo from now on.

New factory in Texas, USA/assembly model

In 2023, WX HQ (WilyX Headquarters) will completely relocate from California to a new building in Texas. WX HQ also houses the new WX Factory, which is equipped with the latest equipment.
The new WX HQ and WX Factory have passed the US military audit set forth in the military performance specifications of MIL-PRF-32432 and have begun full-scale operations as an APEL® (Authorized Protective Eyewear List) manufacturer of MCEP (Military Combat Eye Protection) combat eyewear approved by the US military.

The WX RECON is the first new model to be produced at the new WX Factory .

*In light of the current global situation and as a risk hedge, parts are manufactured in multiple countries or in the United States, and final assembly is carried out at the new WX Factory.

*APEL® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Defense.

<Notes>
The MIL-PRF-32432 military performance specification for eyewear requires that the manufacturer be audited by the US military in addition to the performance requirements of the product itself. If a company or factory relocates, it must undergo a new military audit to ensure that its manufacturing facilities, quality control, inspection system, etc. meet the requirements of the US military.

Temples are adjustable

WX RECON's distinctive temples feature adjustable metal cores. The flat part (blue) can be adjusted inward/outward to adjust the temple curve, and the temple tip (green) can be freely adjusted up, down, left and right.

Designed with shock-resistant logic in mind

When struck, the lens elastically deforms, absorbing and diffusing the impact that occurs during the impact. Based on this basic shock-resistant logic, the front frame and hinges of the lens mount are made of TORILOID™, a super-elastic resin developed from military technology to protect people. The temples are made of a metal core that can be adjusted to suit the wearer. Non-slip rubber grips are attached to the nose and temple ends.
WX RECON is a uniquely designed impact resistant eyewear made from a combination of several different materials.

Side shields that comply with national safety glass standards

Although eyewear with a shallow curve of 6 or less is easy to wear on a daily basis and has a good design, there are gaps on both sides of the frame that expose the eyes. Eyewear that exposes the eyes in this way cannot meet the safety standards of each country.
Equipped with removable side shields, WX RECON is a 6-curve impact-resistant eyewear that meets the safety standards of each country.

*The WX RECON side shield is removable.

Compliant with US, Canadian and EU (Euro) protective glass standards

This is premium protective eyewear that is certified "safe and quality proven" in compliance with US ANSI Z87.1 (Z87+), Canadian Z94.3, and EU (Euro) EN166 eye protection standards.

CAPTIVATE™ NP Grey lens (non-polarized)

SELENITE™ is a high-performance optical lens with "excellent impact resistance" born from military technology to protect people. Based on this, WILEY X®'s patented technology has created CAPTIVATE™, which enhances visual performance. It expresses colors in the field of view vividly and clarifies the contours of objects that are overlooked by the naked eye, improving visual performance such as the perspective, three-dimensionality, and depth of objects. This is combined with the characteristics of the Smoke Grey lens, which reduces glare.

Visible light transmittance: 13% (non-polarized)
UV protection rate: 99.9%

What is Black Ops?

The basic concept of Black Ops is to "hide its presence." Usually, sunglasses emphasize the manufacturer's logo and use colors and shapes that make the lenses and frames stand out, but Black Ops is the exact opposite. Black Ops hides the true nature of the eyewear and its manufacturer from third parties by painting the entire eyewear, including the WX logo, black.

Also FDA approved as personal protective equipment for medical workers

This is a Class 1 medical device approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) as protective equipment for medical professionals in the United States.

ANSI Z87.1 (Z87+) Prescription Lenses Compatible Impact Resistant Frame

The impact-resistant frames are designed to accommodate prescription lenses and are ANSI Z87.1 (Z87+) compliant. As proof of this, the frames are marked with the ANSI "Z87-2+" marking.
By combining the Z87-2+ impact-resistant frame with prescription lenses that are resistant to impacts, it is possible to create "prescription impact-resistant eyewear."
