Made with super-tough Triloid Nylon, the ultralight, balanced frame provides all-day comfort, while the dual-injected hydrophilic rubber nose pads and temple tips promote a secure fit. For versatility, the WX Jakl features shatterproof, interchangeable semi-rimless lenses that maximize coverage and visibility without sacrificing style.
