This new style is aimed at hunters, shooting sports enthusiasts and others who require state-of-the-art eye protection, clear vision and the ability to select from a range of lens options to best suit environmental conditions.

The glasses also offer Foil Anti-Fog lens coating to ensure clear, distraction free vision in challenging conditions and a special T-Shell™ lens coating to resist scratching.

The Romer 3 is offered in two lens package options – one includes a Matte Black frame paired with Smoke Grey and Clear lenses; the other matches a Matte Black frame with Smoke Grey, Clear and Light Rust lenses. All of these lenses provide 100 percent UVA/UVB protection and distortion-free vision.

Wiley X Recognizes The Importance of the Fourth

Wiley-XOur friends at Wiley X had a few words worth remembering in advance of the Fourth of July:

The 4th of July means many things to many Americans. For some, it’s the official kick-off to a much-needed summer vacation with family. And for others, it’s about watching a small-town parade or celebrating with a patriotic fireworks show. As a veteran-owned company with its roots in protecting American soldiers, Wiley X, Inc. reminds all Americans to keep the focus this July 4th on the true meaning of the Holiday – the precious gift of independence.

“Americans come from many different backgrounds. But there is something we all share, and that is the independence – and the freedoms we enjoy – every day,” said Wiley X Co-Owner Myles Freeman, Jr. “It doesn’t matter if you can trace your heritage back to the pilgrims or you’ve only been here a short time – all Americans have an equal stake in the meaning of Independence Day. When we gather to celebrate our nation’s independence, we honor our great country’s past, present and future. We recognize the many who sacrificed to bring us independence, as well as those Americans who serve today to protect it,” added Freeman.

Wiley X Supports Our Veterans

WileyXMemorial Day means many things to Americans. It’s the start of the summer holiday season and is marked by millions “hitting the road” in that great American tradition known as the family road trip. Others use the three-day weekend to celebrate with friends and family closer to home, marking the occasion with backyard barbecues, beach parties or family reunions.

While these are all wonderful things, veteran-owned protective eyewear manufacturer Wiley X, Inc. reminds us all not to lose sight of the solemn meaning behind Memorial Day. This uniquely American holiday is set aside for our nation to remember the estimated 1.2 million brave American soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country dating back to the Revolutionary War.

“We’ve all heard the saying that freedom isn’t free – in fact, we’ve heard it so much that perhaps it has lost some of its meaning,” said Wiley X Co-Founder Myles Freeman, Jr. “Memorial Day is a great opportunity for our nation to slow down and really think about this message – that the freedoms we all enjoy every day come at a cost. Our nation has long been blessed with brave men and women willing to pay that cost for all of us, and this special day is in their honor,” Freeman added.

Wiley X has a long connection with America’s military, providing advanced ballistic eye protection to our soldiers for more than 25 years. Every pair of Wiley X sunglasses meets stringent ANSI Z87.1 High Velocity and High Mass Impact Safety standards, providing occupational grade protection for all wearers and a wide range of activities. Wiley X is the only premium sunglass brand with this level of vision protection in every pair of glasses it makes. Selected Wiley X models also meet the updated MIL-PRF-32432 (GL) MCEP Standard (superseding the GL-PD 10-12 MCEP Standard) for combat protective eyewear. This level of proven protection is a key reason why Wiley X is a top eyewear choice for law enforcement and other tactical applications in addition to military users.
