Shot 09 – Tactical style

Wiley X eye pro are popping up in lots of places other than the battlefield. At the Wiley X booth, a monitor played video of sports stars and celebrities – including William Shatner – wearing various designs of the company’s high velocity protection, ANSI rated eyewear.

Representatives at Shot Show displayed some of their designs for the ladies, including extra-large, Elton John/Paris Hilton pink frames with names like “Lacey,” “Ashley,” and “Dalila.” The only one I could imagine wearing (if I HAD to wear “girl” glasses) was the P17NP. Not too butch, not too sweet.

If you happen to check out the Wiley X website, and you watch the commercial of the stud photojournalist making pictures under fire without any body armor on…we’re not all like that. I’ll take the body armor, the Kevlar – and the eye pro.
