Wiley X ballistic sunglasses make a great example of this commitment to quality of product and ironclad protection for your eyes.

Whether you discuss prescription ballistic safety eyewear or non-Rx glasses, you need not go beyond Wiley X products. They make it all.

Test of Durability and Strength

The Wiley X ballistic sunglasses, both frame and lenses, go through tough durability tests before they are sent to Wiley X authorized dealers for sale.

There are three basic tests that Wiley X’s ballistic safety glasses are put under for durability and strength testing.

Wiley X prescription ballistic safety eyewear is tested with the ANSI High-Velocity Impact Test. In the test, the frame and lenses face the impact of 0.25mm steel balls fired at speeds of around 150 ft/sec. This test lets Wiley X see if their lenses in every frame they make can withstand high-velocity impacts from flying objects to keep their customers’ eye-safe.
Wiley X ballistic sunglasses go through the VO Ballistics Test. During the test, frames and lenses of sunglasses and goggles are made to withstand the impact of 0.15 and 0.22 caliber projectiles fired at speeds of 640 and 660 ft/sec. respectively.
Wiley X’s prescription safety eyewear being transported to their dealers in Europe is then given another test – the EN 166. The test fires a steel ball of 0.22 mm diameter at the speed of 5.1 m/sec.
Wiley X ballistic safety glasses also withstand the ANSI High Mass Impact Test, which includes a pointed projectile weighing 1.1lb being dropped directly on to the lenses and frame from a height of 50 inches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's new in the Breach 2.5 vs. the original Wiley X Breach?

The 2.5 is the current-generation refresh of Wiley X’s Breach platform. Key updates over the original: Dynamic Ventilation System engineered into the frame for active anti-fog performance, removable foam gasket for converting between sealed and open configurations, refined high-wrap shield geometry for improved peripheral coverage, and CAPTIVATE lens technology integrated across the kit.

Q: What does the 'Dynamic Ventilation System' actually do?

Engineered airflow channels around the frame create active air circulation past the inner lens surface — preventing the warm-air buildup that causes lens fog. Unlike passive venting (which relies on wearer movement), Dynamic Ventilation works at low movement and stationary positions where passive venting fails. For overwatch, surveillance, and range work it keeps the lens clear when standard frames fog; for active use it adds margin on top of motion-driven airflow.

Q: Sealed gasket or open frame — what's the trade-off?

The foam gasket is removable. Installed, the frame seals against the face for dust, debris, and contamination protection — for shooting in dusty range environments, vehicle work, demolition-adjacent tactical use. Removed, it’s an open-architecture sunglass — more comfortable for sustained wear, more breathable, easier to clean. Dynamic Ventilation works in both. Most buyers keep the gasket in the case and install it when the environment calls for it.

Q: Standard or XL — which fit do I need?

Standard Breach 2.5 fits median adult faces (PDs 60-66 mm; lens 64x40mm, bridge 18mm, temples 116mm). Breach 2.5 XL fits broader temple-to-temple measurements and PDs above 66 mm. Both share the same certification stack and lens technology — pick by fit (non-prescription lenses only). Each fit is sold as its own listing.
