I recently bought these glasses and I can say that they are quite sturdy, as they withstood installing and removing the side panels. The glasses themselves are great for protecting against bright winter sun, while pleasantly relaxing the eyes. The convenient case and accessories for caring for the glasses make this purchase truly wonderful! Special thanks to the store for the fast delivery and promotional price!
Wiley X Alfa Glasses - Captivate Polarized Blue Mirror/Gloss Clear Crystal
Protective eyewear equipped with a spacious rectangular frame, accommodating even the largest corrective lenses. Offering light transmission of 11%, the grey-tinted lenses enhance visual comfort behind the wheel by minimizing eye strain. Engineered to shield the eyes effectively from impacting objects, these glasses comply with ANSI Z.87.1+ and EN166F standards.
Wiley X stands among the top providers of eye protection solutions for the US military, professional athletes, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Captivate Technology and Polarization
Polarized lenses equipped with Captivate technology optimize the visible light spectrum, ensuring more balanced light reaches the eye. These lenses preserve a neutral color profile while intensifying green shades. Engineered to minimize glare, they boost contrast and enhance color perception in outdoor settings, while safeguarding eyes from harmful UVA, UVB, and high-energy visible blue light (HEV) radiation. An oleophobic coating is applied to the lenses, effectively resisting smudges and repelling dust, oil, and dirt.
Selenite polycarbonate lenses
Manufactured from shatter-resistant Selenite polycarbonate, the visors are finished with a T-Shell coating that shields them from scratches and damage. Users benefit from reliable eye protection against harmful ultraviolet rays, including both UVA and UVB radiation.
Comfortable and durable frames
Frames are constructed from robust Triloid material. Their ergonomic design ensures a secure fit without sacrificing comfort when wearing headphones or ear defenders. Non-slip rubber temples and nose pads keep the glasses stable on the face. Removable side shields offer added protection for the eyes against lateral threats not fully blocked by the main visor.
Both the lenses and frames utilize HVP (High Velocity Protection) technology, providing defense against eye injuries from fast-moving objects. The lenses' mechanical strength effectively guards the eyes from shards, ricochets, and other projectiles, fully meeting class F standards (protection against 0.86 g objects traveling at speeds up to 45 m/s).
Standards and certifications
- EN.166F Standard—complies with European regulations for defense against medium energy impacts from propelled particles. As defined by the standard, both the visor and frame are engineered to resist the force of a 6 mm diameter steel ball weighing 0.86 g and traveling at 162 km/h.
- ANSI Z87.1 Standard—outlines impact resistance levels for both frame and visor. The testing involves assessment against impacts from a high-mass steel object (High Mass) and a steel ball at high velocity (High Velocity), attesting to robust protection against common mechanical threats.

The glasses are definitely not cheap, but the world looks much better through them. They fit perfectly to the face, are lightweight, and look great. Tested while fishing in the sun, full comfort. I recommend them.

Very nice and versatile glasses. They work well both at the shooting range and in the city for everyday wear. I chose all black so they would match everything.
