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 Tungsten/Matte Black Tan
Black tan tactical eyewear equipped with lenses crafted from Selenite polycarbonate, enhanced by advanced Captivate technology, paired with a lightweight yet robust Triloid nylon frame. The interchangeable lenses system enables rapid customization to adapt to varying lighting environments. Rubberized contact points, including nose pads and temple tips, increase grip and deliver a secure fit during active movements. Engineered for outdoor use, the model excels in bright and sunny conditions.
visors made of polycarbonate Selenite, Captivate technology
Manufactured from unbreakable polycarbonate Selenite, the lenses deliver complete protection for the eyes against harmful solar radiation (UVA, UVB). Light transmission is maintained at 15%. Utilizing Captivate technology, the lenses harmonize the visible light spectrum to ensure a more even distribution of light to the eye. Colors stay neutral while green tones are accentuated. Glare is minimized, and both contrast and color are intensified for enhanced clarity in outdoor conditions. The lenses safeguard eyes from hazardous ultraviolet rays UVA and UVB as well as blue light (HEV).
Lenses are finished with an Oleophobic coating, which prevents dust, dirt, oil, snow, and water from adhering, significantly simplifying the cleaning process compared to standard, uncoated lenses. The T-Shell coating provides additional resistance to scratching.
contoured frames, non-slip temples, side shields
Anatomically shaped frames and lenses are crafted with HVP technology (High Velocity Protection), delivering effective defense against eye injuries from fast-moving objects. Frames utilize robust Triloid material for enhanced durability. The design guarantees a comfortable fit without impeding the use of headphones or hearing protection. Non-slip, rubberized temples and nose pads provide a secure and stable hold on the face. Easily attachable side shields are compliant with the ANSI Z87.1+ safety standard.
protection standards
- ANSI Z87.1+ (High Mass Protection) - In compliance with this standard, both the frame and lenses are engineered to endure the impact of a 0.5 kg object dropped from a height of about 130 centimeters.
- ANSI Z87.1+ (High Velocity Protection) - Meeting these requirements, the frame and visor are tested to resist the force of a 6.35 mm diameter steel ball traveling at a velocity of 164.6 km/h (45 m/s).
- MIL-PRF 32432A - According to this military specification, the frame and visor withstand the impact from fragments propelled at approximately 768–796 km/h (around 213–221 m/s), ensuring the lens does not shatter completely or detach components that could pose a risk to the wearer.
