Wiley X Saber Advanced Clear

89% VLT: ballistic protection without the tint. Nearly nine-tenths of light passes through the lens - it hardly detracts from the scene, and the manufacturer claims natural color rendition.

When transparency is essential

At night, in low light, indoors, at an indoor range. In these conditions, even a slight tint becomes a handicap: it removes information instead of adding it.

It's also the lens you leave mounted by default when you don't know what's coming next.

The nose piece adapts to all morphologies

The nose piece has a 360-degree adjustable metallic core. You can bend it by hand to perfectly adjust it to your nose - and it retains the given shape.

On rimless glasses, the nose piece provides all the support. A fixed nose piece that doesn't fit properly makes the glasses unusable; this one eliminates the problem.

Night vision compatible

The low profile leaves room for a night vision device. This is rare at this price point.

Rimless, with a foam bar

No frame around the lens: the field of vision is not cut off by any edges. A foam bar runs along the top of the lens to prevent solid objects from passing over it.

Interchangeable lenses

The lenses can be changed to adapt to the light. The entire range is compatible: clear 89%, yellow 82%, orange 53%, smoke 15%.

Construction

Unbreakable Selenite polycarbonate, extruded, cut, then hot-formed, with T-Shell anti-scratch coating. Temples and earpieces made of reinforced Triloid nylon, rubberized elements for extended comfort.

100% HEV, UVA, and UVB protection - HEV refers to the high-energy blue-violet band of the visible spectrum, which few glasses filter.

Standards declared by the manufacturer

ANSI Z87.1+, MIL-PRF-32432 and EN 166 F.

To put these last two in perspective: EN 166 F tests a 6 mm, 0.86 g steel ball launched at 162 km/h. MIL-PRF-32432 tests a .15 caliber projectile at 702 to 724 km/h. The military specification is of a completely different order.
