March 31, 2025 by Scott Witner Leave a Comment

Wiley X Launches the WX JAKL

Introducing the WX JAKL to the Wiley X Tactical Series

Wiley X, a global leader in protective eyewear, has just raised the bar with the unveiling of the WX JAKL—an innovative new addition to their renowned Tactical Series.

Designed and assembled in the USA, the WX JAKL delivers next-level optical clarity, impact protection, and all-day comfort for users who demand uncompromising performance in any environment.

Built for Battle: Shatterproof Protection and Military Standards

Crafted with Wiley X’s signature durability, the WX JAKL features shatterproof Selenite™ polycarbonate lenses that exceed ANSI Z87.1+ high-velocity and high-mass impact standards.

For those who require even more robust protection, select non-polarized WX JAKL styles meet U.S. military ballistic standards, offering a vital layer of defense for military professionals, first responders, and active outdoor enthusiasts.

Wherever the mission takes you—on the job, out on the water, or deep in the field—the JAKL ensures superior eye safety without compromise.

Cutting-Edge Lens Technology: CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Clarity

Equipped with CAPTIVATE™ polarized lenses, the WX JAKL enhances contrast and color while reducing glare.

This high-performance lens technology provides unmatched visual clarity, making it an essential tool for those who spend their days in dynamic and visually demanding environments.

Statement from Wiley X Leadership

“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.”

Feature-Rich Design for Maximum Protection and Comfort

The WX JAKL features 8-Base lenses paired with a high-wrap frame for superior coverage and durability. Whether you choose the polarized or non-polarized version, every model offers 100% UVA/UVB protection to shield your eyes from harmful rays.

The ultralight, balanced frame is constructed from ultra-durable Triloid™ Nylon and is designed for long-lasting wear without sacrificing comfort. Dual-injected hydrophilic rubber nose pads and temple tips ensure a secure, stay-in-place fit no matter the conditions.

Adding to its versatility, the WX JAKL includes shatterproof, interchangeable semi-rimless lenses that deliver wide-angle visibility and a bold, tactical aesthetic.

Digiforce2™ Digital Lens Technology Option

For those who require prescription lenses, the WX JAKL is also available with Wiley X’s proprietary Digiforce2™ digital lens technology. This ensures sharp, precise vision correction while maintaining the eyewear’s industry-leading protection.
