Product Information

Full details

The Wiley X Saber Advanced sunglasses are designed for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts requiring high-impact eye protection. Their key benefit is robust ballistic safety compliance combined with comfortable, adaptable wear for various conditions. A potential consideration is the specialized nature of the ballistic standards, which may be overkill for casual use. Key features include shatterproof lenses, 100% UVA/UVB protection, and a customizable fit system with interchangeable lenses.

FAQs

What makes these sunglasses 'ballistic' safety glasses?

They meet rigorous standards like MIL-PRF-32432, which tests for impact resistance against high-velocity projectiles, ensuring a higher level of eye protection than standard sunglasses.

Are the lenses polarized?

This specific model with smoke grey lenses does not state polarization. It focuses on ballistic protection, UV filtering, and optical clarity.

How do I clean the lenses effectively?

Use a soft microfiber cloth and a lens cleaning solution approved for polycarbonate lenses. Avoid abrasive materials or household cleaners.

Can I wear these over my regular glasses?

These sunglasses are designed for direct wear. If you require prescription eyewear, you should consider using the compatible PTX Prescription Insert, sold separately.

What is the purpose of the foam insert mentioned?

The foam insert, typically used with the interchangeable lens system, can provide an additional layer of comfort, a closer fit, and help block out dust or debris from the sides.

How durable is the matte black frame?

The matte black frame is designed to be lightweight yet durable for demanding use. Its finish is intended to reduce glare and resist typical wear and tear.

What is the warranty on Wiley X eyewear?

Wiley X typically offers a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Refer to the official Wiley X warranty information for specific details.

Troubleshooting

Lenses feel loose or dislodged

Ensure the lenses are correctly and fully seated within the frame. Refer to the manual for proper lens insertion and removal instructions. If damage is suspected, contact customer support.

Nose piece adjustment is difficult

Gently bend the 'Take Flight' nose piece. Avoid excessive force. If it feels stuck or overly stiff, inspect for any obstructions. Warm water can sometimes make the material more pliable for adjustment.

Fogging occurs in humid conditions

Ensure the frame allows for some airflow. For persistent fogging, consider an anti-fog treatment designed for eyewear or ensure lenses are clean. Some users find that the foam gasket, if used, can trap moisture; consider its use based on conditions.

Scratches appearing on lenses

The T-Shell coating provides resistance, but severe impacts or abrasive cleaning can still cause scratches. Clean gently with recommended solutions and cloths. Significant scratches may require lens replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Wiley X Saber Advanced sunglasses come with smoke grey ballistic lenses installed in a matte black frame. To change lenses, gently release the current lens from the frame according to the provided instructions, typically involving carefully flexing the frame and lens. Ensure the new lens clicks securely into place. The adjustable nose piece can be bent slightly to conform to your specific nose bridge for a personalized fit.

Compatibility: This model is compatible with the Wiley X PTX Prescription Insert, sold separately. Ensure the insert is correctly fitted into the frame before use.

Care: To maintain optical clarity and longevity:

  1. Clean lenses regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth (microfiber is recommended).
  2. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for polycarbonate lenses. Avoid abrasive cleaners or paper towels, which can scratch the lenses.
  3. Store the sunglasses in a protective case when not in use to prevent damage and scratches.
  4. Avoid exposing the sunglasses to extreme heat, as this can damage the frame and lenses.
