What’s with the Wiley X Glasses?

It seems that Wiley’s have just released a new line of great riding glasses!

An article written by Travis in the motorcycle-blog.com entitled Wiley X Glasses has given a new alternative in connection to motorcycle eyewear. Travis wrote: “I rode over 800 miles wearing these with either the tinted or clear lenses in and they perform far and above my normal, everyday pair of sunglasses. The gasket seals tightly and keeps desert dust, bugs and sweat out of my eyes. And, as a contact lens wearer, I couldn’t believe how well the gasket kept my eyes from drying out. The lenses were never loose and the clear set were damage free after repelling several bugs and bits of gravel. My only complaint is with the nylon temples. When wearing a tight fitting full face helmet, the temples tend to bend while sliding them on past the helmet’s padding. It’s not a comfort issue, but I do have to work them in there, rather than just slide them on as I would with a less flexible pair”.

Travis further added, “So, if you’re in the market for a pair of dedicated riding glasses I would definitely recommend a pair of these. You have over 10 different models designed specifically for riding in metal and nylon, with and without interchangeable lenses to choose from, all offering valuable shatterproof lenses and the gasket sealing system for prices ranging from $60-150”.

Among the new models are the following: XL-1, XL-3, and XL-4. XL-1 is designed for riding activities. The foam gasket creates a seal between the frame and your face. The lenses are made from pure shatterproof Selenite™ polycarbonate and go beyond ANSI Z87.1 safety and ANSI Z80.3 optical standards. The metal and seal of XL-3 is magnetic. It simply clicks on the back for riding. On the other hand, both the XL-3 and XL-4 have a removable, locking gasket.

Now riders can add these models to their wide choices. TAKE YOUR PICK.
