Wiley X and American Sniper Join Forces on Limited-Edition WX JAKL Frame

A tribute to strength, service, and sacrifice.

FRISCO, TX, UNITED STATES, June 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Wiley X, a global leader in protective eyewear, announces the release of a special-edition WX JAKL frame developed in collaboration with the American Sniper brand. Building on the success of the original WX JAKL launched in March, this release underscores Wiley X’s commitment to protecting those who serve on and off the battlefield.

“This collaboration is more than a product launch. It’s a tribute to shared values of honor, grit, and protection,” said Dan Freeman, CEO and Co-Founder of Wiley X. “We designed the WX JAKL x American Sniper to deliver elite performance while honoring the legacy of those who put it all on the line.”

The partnership was forged with Colton Kyle, son of the late Chris Kyle, the legendary U.S. Navy SEAL whose story inspired the American Sniper brand. Now leading the brand, Colton carries his father’s mission forward.

“My dad wore Wiley X,” said Kyle. “This frame represents the warrior spirit and values he lived by, including faith, discipline, and fierce love for others. It feels like a full-circle moment.”

Engineered for high-stakes environments, the WX JAKL x American Sniper combines Wiley X’s signature protection with purposeful design. Features include:

• Designed to meet or exceed U.S. military standards for ballistic protection, including V0 Ballistics standards.
• CAPTIVATE™ lens technology to enhance contrast, reduce glare, and deliver vivid clarity
• Aggressive 8-base wrap design for full coverage and peripheral protection
• Triloid™ Nylon frame with dual-injected rubber grips, delivering lightweight comfort and all-day security
