【 WILEY X (SABER ADVANCED) 】
I want you to know the cost (price) of SABER ADVANCED last. That's because I want to surprise you.
SABER ADVANCED, which the U.S. Department of Defense manages and procures under national stock numbers, is a military eyewear with a half-rim frame that clips onto the lens. Its robust appearance clearly shows its high impact resistance. And the optical performance achieved through advanced functions and optical lens technology surpasses conventional military eyewear.

The benefits of TAKE-FLIGHT™ nose are not limited to the excellent optical performance achieved by adjusting the position and tilt angle of the lens. At WILEY X®, ballistic performance such as the lens's resistance to breaking is already ensured with a mere 2.0mm thick SELENITE™ lens, achieving impact resistance that exceeds military specifications. Therefore, the reason for making the SABER ADVANCED lens 3.0mm thick is not merely for ballistic performance but to improve [the frame's ability to hold the lens].
[The frame's ability to hold the lens], which plays a part in the impact resistance of eyewear, is extremely important, but a misunderstanding has spread due to the "shotgun performance" of shooting eyewear with a shotgun.
For example, in baseball, if a baseball directly hits the eyewear while worn, and even if the lens doesn't break from the impact, it's deemed dangerous if it comes out of the frame. This is because there's a risk of the detached lens pressing against the eyeball along with the ball, or the edge of the lens piercing the eyeball. However, if eyewear is shot with a shotgun, even if the lens flies out of the frame but doesn't break, it's evaluated as having impact resistance. While a lens that doesn't break from a shotgun shot is impressive, a "unbroken lens" lying on the ground is nothing more or less than that. It's simply a lens lying on the ground, and its impact resistance evaluation for eyewear would be "it couldn't withstand the impact of a shotgun."
▲ SELENITE - Smoke Grey lens + SABER ADVANCED: This is a standard lens specification that does not distort colors and maximizes the reduction of unpleasant glare.
