Designed for durability, the WX Jakl features shatterproof Selenite polycarbonate lenses that meet ANSI Z87.1+ high-velocity and high-mass impact standards. Additionally, select non-polarized WX Jakl styles meet U.S. military standards for ballistic eye protection, ensuring safety against high-speed impacts for military personnel, first responders and outdoor enthusiasts whether on the job, on the water or on the move. The Captivate polarized lenses enhance contrast and color for visual clarity while reducing glare.

 “At Wiley X, we understand that our customers need eyewear that can keep up with their active lifestyles while providing the highest level of protection,” said Dan Freeman, CEO and co-founder at Wiley X. “The WX Jakl delivers on all fronts, combining top-tier safety standards with sleek aesthetics and advanced lens technology.”

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.
