Wiley X Saber Advanced Smoke / Clear / Orange
Three lenses, three light levels, one frame. This setup covers the entire day without changing glasses.
The three levels covered
Clear, VLT 89% - night, indoors, low light. Protection without loss of vision.
Orange, VLT 53% - medium light. This is the level that most configurations forget, and the one most often missing.
Smoked, VLT 15% - full daylight, strong light.
Why the kit rather than individual lenses
Three lenses purchased separately significantly exceed the price of this kit, which also includes the frame. It's the logical entry-level option for anyone starting from scratch.
The range also offers a yellow lens at 82%, a contrast screen for flat light, to be added later if needed.
The nose bridge adapts to all face shapes
The nose bridge has a 360-degree adjustable metal core. You can mold it by hand to adjust it precisely to your nose - and it retains the given shape.
On rimless glasses, the nose bridge provides all the support. A fixed nose bridge 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 brow bar
No frame around the lens: the field of vision is not cut off by any edge. A foam brow bar runs along the top of the lens to prevent solid objects from passing over it.
Interchangeable lenses
Lenses can be changed to adapt to the light. The entire range is compatible: clear 89%, yellow 82%, orange 53%, smoked 15%.
Construction
Unbreakable Selenite polycarbonate, extruded, cut then heat-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 the latter 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.
