The glasses are very well made, very light and comfortable, not too dark so they can be worn even on less sunny days, for me they are great. The price is a bit scary but I think they are worth their price.

Wiley X Founder Glasses - Captivate Grey/Matte Black
Ergonomically designed, secure-fitting protective glasses available in the color Grey/Matte Black, featuring a spacious rectangular frame suitable for fitting large prescription lenses. The lenses offer mechanical durability, safeguarding eyes from debris, ricochets, and other flying hazards, in compliance with class F standards (protection against 0.86g objects traveling at velocities of 45 m/s).
Wiley X ranks among the premier providers of eye protection for the United States military, sports professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts.
frames with triloid, HVP technology
Frames designed with an anatomical profile, crafted from robust Triloid nylon. The contoured design ensures an excellent fit and maintains comfort even when wearing headphones or hearing protection. Non-slip rubberized temple ends and nose pads deliver a secure and stable placement of the eyewear on the face. Both frames and lenses utilize HVP technology (High Velocity Protection), effectively shielding the eyes from injuries caused by high-speed hazards. Removable and pivoting side shields add an extra layer of lateral protection from projectiles that may bypass the main visor.
polycarbonate lenses with T-Shell coating and Captivate technology
Constructed with tinted lenses crafted from shatter-resistant Selenite polycarbonate utilizing Captivate technology, these lenses balance the visible light spectrum to ensure a more even distribution of light to the eye. They preserve a neutral color balance while amplifying greens, minimizing glare, and boosting both contrast and color depth in outdoor settings. Delivering 17% light transmission, they feature a durable, scratch-resistant T-Shell coating that guards against damage and extends the lifespan of the lenses. An additional oleophobic coating repels dust, dirt, oil, snow, and water, preventing buildup on the lens surface. Ideal for high-brightness and sunny outdoor environments, they offer reliable eye protection against hazardous ultraviolet UVA and UVB rays.
Standards and certifications
- EN.166F -- compliant with European standards for defense against medium energy impacts from fast-moving particles. The frame and lens are engineered to endure the strike of a 6 mm diameter steel ball weighing 0.86 g, traveling at a velocity of 162 km/h.
- ANSI Z87.1 -- ensures visor and frame withstand impacts in accordance with American safety standards. Testing includes resistance to both a heavy steel object (High Mass) and a rapidly moving steel ball (High Velocity), verifying protection against standard mechanical threats.
- UV Protection -- the visor ensures comprehensive shielding from UVA and UVB rays, blocking a minimum of 99.9% of harmful ultraviolet radiation.

Selenite visors
Selenite visors are made of unbreakable polycarbonate, which provides high visual clarity and UV protection.
T-Shell coating
T-Shell is a coating on Wiley X glasses that resists scratches, protects lenses from damage and extends their life.
Captivate
Captivate lens technology is an advanced filter system used in sunglasses that aims to improve the quality of vision by filtering out harmful light and improving color perception and contrast.
Oleophobic coating
The Oleophobic coating repels dirt, oil, water and other substances, so the lenses stay cleaner and easier to maintain. The technology makes the lenses more durable and comfortable to wear.
ANSI Z87.1
Z87.1 standard developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for the durability of eye protectors. The standard includes two types of tests (3 tests) for the impact resistance of the lens and the stability of its seating in the frame: resistance to High Mass and High Velocity objects.
EN166F
EN166F is the European standard for protection against the impact of accelerated objects (Medium Energy Impact). Class F mechanical strength means that, according to the standard, the frame and visors of the glasses will withstand the impact of a steel BBs with a diameter of 6 mm and a weight of 0.86 g, traveling at 45 m/s (162 km/h).
