Shatterproof, selenite, polycarbonate lenses define the ballistic qualities of our many styles. Some models have been tested to withstand a 12 gauge shotgun blast from 10 yards away helping us to gain not only national but international notoriety. Because we've produced such a reliable, trustworthy product over the years, we're currently a standard issue item with the FBI., D.E.A., Army Rangers, Navy Seal Teams and Military Special Forces.

In 1990, the President and co-founder of Wiley X by Protective Optics began to take the company in a different direction. He started to focus on the need for good, quality, shatterproof eye gear in various retail markets where "impact resistance" is most important.

Wiley X has since taken a vigorous approach to promoting and advertising in these markets and has gained tremendous recognition supplying eyewear accessories to custom motorcycle shops, general sporting goods, sports shooting, golf, sunglass and extreme sports retailers across the country to name a few. The impact made in these industries alone has helped us establish our name as an up and coming force in the retail world at large.
