The new WX Echo is available in a variety of distinctive and functional frame/lens combinations, including a Smoke Steel Blue frame with Silver Flash lenses, a Gloss Black frame with Polarized Emerald Mirror lenses, and a Gloss Black frame with Wiley X’s exclusive Light Adjusting (LA) Grey lenses that lighten and darken as the sun dictates.
The stylish new WX Gravity is offered with an eye-catching Black Crystal frame matched with Polarized Blue Mirror lenses, a Brown Crystal frame with Bronze Flash lenses and a Gloss Black frame with Light Adjusting (LA) Grey lenses. In addition, a special Wiley X Black Ops edition Gravity boasts a stealthy combination of Matte Black frame and Smoke Grey lenses.
