Wiley X has announced 3 new protective shooting glasses in the WX Citadel, WX Alpine, and Breach 2.5 while at SHOT Show 2026 (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade show). All three of these models are unique in their outward aesthetic, but also what they offer to hunters and shooters who might be deploying them in the field.

Wiley X WX Citadel
First up, we have the Wiley X WX Citadel, which gives us Pit Viper vibes without the stigma of having a criminal record, a broken truck, and abusing both caffeine and scratch-offs at gas stations. These will be available in 8 different colorway and frame options, and have a pre-order price of $170. These also are MIL-PRF-32432A and ANSI Z87.1+ certified as well as sport Shatterproof Lenses.
The WX Citadel is built for those who push limits. Its toric design follows the natural shape of the eye for sharp, distortion-free vision. Pivoting side shields and a durable, lightweight frame offer adaptable protection in any environment. High traction rubber on the nose and temples keeps the fit locked in, even at full speed. Interchangeable, shatterproof lenses let you adjust to changing light in seconds. Tough, precise, and built to perform, the WX Citadel will never back down.
Wiley X WX Alpine
Next, we have the Wiley X WX Alpine, which is classically designed with a modern flair. These will become available soon with 5 lens/frame options, and have pre-order pricing of $150. Once again, these are MIL-PRF-32432A and ANSI Z87.1+ certified as well as offer Shatterproof Lenses.
The WX Alpine isn’t just built for performance, it’s built to take over. Aggressive by design, this frame means business in the harshest conditions. The low-profile polymer frame is lightweight but refuses to break, and semi-hooked temples grip like a clenched fist, locking in when the action kicks up. Rubber nose pads and temple tips keep it glued to your face, whether you’re tearing through terrain or grinding through the mission. And when the heat rises, Venturi Suction technology optimizes airflow to prevent fogging during intense activities like cycling, running, or tactical operations.
Wiley X Breach 2.5
Last, but not least we have the Wiley X Breach 2.5, which is a continuation of quality from prior Breach model tactical sunglasses. These are currently available at a full retail price of $190, and can be purchased in 4 unique colorway/frame combinations.
The WX Breach 2.5 is engineered for tactical environments where failure isn’t an option. High-wrap frames deliver full coverage against impact, wind, and debris, while a removable gasket and Dynamic Ventilation System help prevent fogging in the heat of the moment. Rubberized temples and nose pads lock in a secure, comfortable fit. Available in Regular and XL sizes with interchangeable lenses for adaptable performance.
