Wiley X American Sniper WX JAKL Frames

Wiley X is releasing a special-edition WX JAKL frame developed in collaboration with the American Sniper brand. Building on the success of the original WX JAKL, 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, the 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 line of eyewear combines Wiley X’s signature protection with purposeful design.

WX JAKL x American Sniper Features:

  • 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 eight-base-wrap design for full coverage and peripheral protection
  • Triloid nylon frame with dual-injected rubber grips, delivering lightweight comfort and all-day security

Designed and assembled in the USA, the WX JAKL x American Sniper reflects Wiley X’s 35-year legacy of innovation and impact-ready performance.
