CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Bronze Mirror lenses
CAPTIVATE™ lens technology redefines what you can expect from your sunglasses. A meticulously engineered filter blocks harmful light, enhances colors and contrasts and increases clarity. The Polarized Bronze Mirror lenses distribute colors evenly based on wavelength strength, reduce blue light (HEV) for more saturated reds, yellows and greens, define and intensify yellow shades, and reduce glare across reflective surfaces.
Blue Light (HEV) protective
High performance during:
- Bright sun / changing light conditions
- Cloudy and overcast days
- Activities with lots of yellow landscapes such as hiking, or a trip to the beach
- General day driving
- Shallow water fishing
100 % UVA/UVB protection
It is not only the skin that can be harmed by UV-rays, but your sight can also be diminished. If your eyes are exposed to the sun, long and intensive radiation can lead to an infection of your eyes’ conjunctiva or cornea. That is why it is so important to use sunglasses and eyewear with UV-protection. Our lenses all ensure you 100% UVA/UVB protection, assuring you protection from harmful rays that can lead to permanent eye damage.
T-Shell™ Scratch Resistent Coating
All Wiley X lenses are treated with our T-Shell™ scratch resistant coating, which will protect the lenses against damage and extend their life span. With Wiley X you not only get lenses made from the high-quality material, polycarbonate, but also lenses that are coated with this top-of-the line hard coating, which ensure your lenses’ durability.
Shatterproof Selenite™ Polycarbonate lenses
All Wiley X eyewear comes with our shatterproof Selenite™ polycarbonate lenses. This material is super durable and strong, and we use it to ensure that our rigorous testing can be carried out, so you can get lenses that are certified to the toughest optical safety standards.
Triloid™ Nylon Frame
Triloid™ Nylon is the toughest non-metal material available. It not only gives you lightweight comfort, but it also extremely strong. Among other, it is thanks to this highly durable material that WX eyewear can withstand the rigorous safety tests that we certify all our eyewear to. It might have a light and plastic feel, but TriloidTM Nylon is much stronger and of a higher quality.
Polarized Filter 8™
The polarized filter creates vertical openings for light, meaning that only vertical light waves can reach your eyes, whereas horizontal light is blocked. Horizontal light waves are the glare that is generated when vertical light hits a shiny surface, for instance a wet road, the car windshield, and especially water. The horizontal light appears as a strong glare that jeopardize your vision and makes it difficult for you to navigate. The polarized filter eliminates this glare and helps you stay focused and relaxed all day without experiencing headaches or eye fatigue.
Side shields included
With the side shields, you can attach additional protection of your vision to your sunglasses. With the side shields on you add extra protection of your vision in the peripheral area, meaning protection from fragments and the like, which you are not given without the side shields on due to the flat design of the eyewear.
The side shields can also be permanently installed, adding lasting protection of your vision in the peripheral area. Simply add the included plug to make the sides shields permanent. However, be aware that once the plug has been inserted, the side shields cannot be removed again.
Certifications and standards
ANSI Z87.1+
ANSI Z87.1+ tested means that the frame and lenses meet or exceed specific safety ratings set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), who has developed a certification system for safety eyewear in the US. As an American brand, we test our eyewear to pass a high velocity impact test and a high mass impact test, as dictated by ANSI.
The high velocity impact test demands that the frame and lenses must withstand the impact of a 6,35 mm steel ball fired at 164,6 km/h, while remaining intact. The high mass impact test demands that the frame and lenses must remain intact while withstanding a 500 grams pointed projectile that is dropped down on the eyewear from a height of 127 cm.
EN.166S
An EN.166S test means that the frame and lens are able to withstand a certain stress test. The eyewear must withstand the impact of a 22 mm steel ball at 43 grams, which is dropped from 1,3 meters at a speed of 18 km/h. The lens must remain in the intact frame and not shatter for it to pass. This is a large quality stamp when it comes to our performance sunglasses and protective eyewear, as you are guaranteed the same level of protection and quality, as the soldiers of the world demand.
