CAPTIVATE™ Grey 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 CAPTIVATE™ Grey lenses equalize the visible light spectrum, so light enters the eye uniformly and colors stay almost the same as without sunglasses – except greens, which are enhanced. They also protect against blue light (HEV). A great choice for a natural-looking color boost and even contrasts for everyday use.
Blue Light (HEV) protective
High performance during:
- Intense/ bright sun
- General daytime outdoor activities
- General day driving
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.
Anti-Fog coating
The lenses have been covered with our Anti-fog coating, a lens treatment that will make your lenses more resistant against fogging up. Your lenses fog because of temperature differences and the level of moisture in the air, meaning when warm or moist air hits the cool surface of the lenses, fog can occur. This can be the result of you engaging in intense activities or simply due to changes in weather conditions. But with these anti-fog coated lenses, you get lenses that are highly resistant against fog, ensuring you a clearer vision even under high performance activities.
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.
Interchangeable lenses
Our changeable lenses provide you with exceptional protection and visibility in any environment. You can easily swap out one lens/shield for another, giving you the power to adapt to any light conditions you might encounter or venture out into.
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.
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.
Ballistic MIL-PRF-32432A
This eyewear is tested to meet or exceed the ballistic standardization MIL-PRF-32432A, which is the American military norm for eyewear and goggles. In terms of protection against ballistic fragments, Wiley X eyewear frames and lenses are tested to withstand a .15 caliber projectile traveling at 768-796 km/h, whereas goggles must withstand a .15 caliber projectile traveling at 636-647 km/h. This means that you with Wiley X ballistic tested eyewear and goggles are ensured the highest rated protection against fragments, as trusted by the armed forces of the world.
ISO 12312-1
ISO 12312-1 determines the technical guidelines for the development and testing of sun darkening eyewear with the purpose of protecting the user against potentially damaging levels of sunlight. Specifically, ISO 12312-1 pertains to the safety demands for sunglasses in reference to protection against sun rays during normal wear and driving.
