The glasses are very comfortable and hold well. Nice glasses for the shooting range and beyond. For a wide head, the visor could be a bit wider. A good option, I recommend it!
Wiley X Citadel Tactical Glasses - Captivate Grey/Matte Black
Black tactical eyewear equipped with lenses crafted from Selenite polycarbonate and enhanced with advanced Captivate technology, set in a lightweight yet highly durable Triloid nylon frame. Thanks to the interchangeable lens system, users can swiftly adapt to changing lighting environments. Rubberized contact points, along with ergonomic nose pads and temple tips, ensure enhanced stability and a secure grip during active movement. Ideal for outdoor missions and activities performed in bright sunlight or intense lighting conditions.
visors made of Selenite polycarbonate, Captivate technology
Constructed from shatterproof Selenite polycarbonate, these lenses deliver 100% protection for the eyes from harmful solar radiation, effectively blocking UVA and UVB rays. With a light transmission rate of 17%, lenses engineered with Captivate technology help equalize the visible light spectrum, allowing light to enter the eye more uniformly. Neutral color tones are preserved while enhancing the vibrancy of greenery. Glare is minimized, contrast and color are improved in outdoor settings, and eyes are shielded from damaging UVA, UVB radiation as well as blue light (HEV).
Oleophobic coating on the lenses actively prevents the accumulation of dust, dirt, oil, snow, and water, making maintenance far simpler compared to conventional lenses lacking this coating. Further protection comes from the T-Shell coating, which ensures enhanced resistance to scratching.
contoured frames, non-slip temples, side shields
Frames and lenses are anatomically shaped and manufactured with HVP technology (High Velocity Protection), providing reliable defense against potential eye injuries from high-velocity projectiles. Constructed from highly resilient Triloid material, the frames offer long-lasting durability. Their ergonomic design ensures a secure and comfortable fit, even when wearing headphones or hearing protectors. Featuring rubberized, non-slip arms and nose pads, the glasses remain firmly positioned during use. Snap-on side shields are included, fully compliant with the ANSI Z87.1+ safety standard.
