[WILEY X SG-1]
Military eyewear known as legendary equipment
During the Gulf War that began in 2003, attacks by explosives such as booby traps increased, and the number of soldiers with eye injuries increased proportionately. Military doctors who continued to treat the injured soldiers, while struggling with the current situation, noticed that some soldiers had extensive injuries to their bodies caused by explosives, but their eyes were intact. The military doctors began an investigation, and as a result, it was discovered that many soldiers who had not suffered eye injuries were not wearing military eyewear issued by the military, but rather Wiley X's SG-1, which they had purchased at their own expense.
As a result, the U.S. military issued the SG-1 to soldiers with unprecedented speed, and the SG-1 significantly reduced the number of soldiers suffering from eye injuries.
This overwhelming safety performance was praised by soldiers as a "legend."
Born from advanced design concepts, the SG-1 has been improved countless times and is still used by military and law enforcement professionals around the world as the highest quality eye protection gear. It is impossible to talk about MCEP (Military Combat Eye Protection) without knowing this "legend."
The current SG-1 has been improved and refined countless times.
The SG-1 has been improved many times over its 15-year history. The frame color of the original SG-1 was gloss black, but the current SG-1 is all matte black, including the WX logo. From the outside, it may seem that the only difference between the original SG-1 and the current SG-1 is the frame color, but in fact, improvements have been made to all of the components of the original SG-1, including the frame material, the gasket that covers the lens, and the lens color.
Military hybrid eyewear that can be used as both glasses and goggles
The biggest feature of the SG-1 is that it can be transformed into a complete goggle by removing the temples and replacing them with goggle bands. This hybrid military eyewear is the only one of its kind in the world, and Wiley X developed this advanced mechanism about 15 years ago and has been using it in combat ever since.
