Wiley X Contour vs. Wiley X Epic: Which WorkSight Frame Is Right for You?
Both the Wiley X Contour and the Wiley X Epic are part of the WorkSight collection and share the same $168 price point, ANSI Z87.1 certification, and core construction—hand-polished Triloid nylon frames with shatterproof Selenite polycarbonate lenses. The decision between them comes down to style and fit preference.
The Contour offers a classic square frame with subtle detailing and a medium-to-large fit (54mm lens, 140mm temple). It's a versatile choice if you want a frame that transitions easily from work to everyday wear without drawing attention. The adjustable wire core temple tips and ergonomic design make it comfortable for all-day use, and the removable side shields give you flexibility to switch between safety-compliant and casual looks.
The Wiley X Epic, on the other hand, delivers what Wiley X calls a "trendy" and "legendary" style—a slightly more modern aesthetic while maintaining the same protective features. It uses the same removable side shield system and meets the same high-velocity and high-mass impact standards when the shields are installed.
Our take: If you prefer understated, go-anywhere styling, the Contour is the safer bet. If you want a frame with a bit more contemporary flair and don't mind a slightly bolder look, check out the Epic. Either way, you're getting the same level of protection, prescription compatibility, and all-day comfort that the WorkSight series is known for.
