Tactical glasses built for impact protection and clear vision

Tactical glasses protect your vision when the environment turns hostile. Wiley X tactical eyewear uses Selenite™ shatterproof polycarbonate lenses to defend against impact and fragment hazards during military, law-enforcement and tactical operations. Selected models are tested to MIL-PRF-32432A or Wiley X V0 ballistic standards. Applicable models also meet ANSI Z87.1+ impact protection and EN.166 safety requirements.

Protection comes first. Clear vision follows close behind. CAPTIVATE™ lens technology filters selected wavelengths, enhances contrast and definition, and blocks UV and HEV radiation. It helps you identify detail in demanding light without losing focus on the task.
