Wiley X Saber Advanced Orange

53% transmission: the only intermediate level in the range. Between 82% yellow and 15% smoke, the gap is enormous - orange fills this void.

The lens we forget to consider

Most setups are done with clear and smoke. The result: as soon as the light is medium - mid-morning, late afternoon, overcast sky - the clear dazzles and the smoke darkens too much.

At 53%, orange occupies exactly this zone. It cuts half of the light while maintaining a warm tint character, which accentuates contrast in greens and browns.

The entire range scale

Clear 89% - night and low light.
Yellow 82% - flat light, contrast.
Orange 53% (this one) - medium light.
Smoke 15% - full daylight.

The nose piece adapts to all morphologies

The nose piece has a 360-degree adjustable metal core. It can be shaped by hand to fit the nose exactly - 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 allows space for a night vision device. This is rare at this price level.

Rimless, with a foam bar

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

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 temple tips in 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 context: 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.
