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 Tungsten Mirror/Matte Black/Tan
Durable and comfortable protective eyewear available in Mirror/Matte Black/Tan colors, featuring a spacious rectangular frame designed to accommodate large prescription lenses. The lenses offer mechanical strength, effectively shielding eyes from debris, ricochets, and other flying objects in compliance with class F standards (protection against objects weighing 0.86 g traveling at 45 m/s).
Wiley X ranks among the top providers of eye protection for the United States military, professional athletes, and outdoor enthusiasts.
frames with triloid, HVP technology
Frames featuring an anatomical profile crafted from robust Triloid nylon. Their design ensures an excellent fit and maintains comfort even when wearing headphones or hearing protection. Non-slip rubberized nose pads and temple tips guarantee the glasses stay securely in place. Constructed with HVP (High Velocity Protection) technology, both frames and lenses shield the eyes from impact injuries caused by high-speed objects. Removable, rotating side shields add extra lateral eye protection where standard visors may not provide full coverage.
polycarbonate lenses with T-Shell coating and Captivate technology
Shatter-resistant lenses crafted from Selenite polycarbonate with Captivate technology balance the visible light spectrum, allowing light to reach the eyes in a more uniform manner. These lenses preserve a neutral color profile while bringing out green hues. Glare is diminished, and contrast and color perception outdoors are enhanced. With a light transmission rate of 14%, they are coated with a durable, scratch-resistant T-Shell coating that protects the lens surface and prolongs its lifespan. An advanced oleophobic coating helps repel dust, dirt, oil, snow, and water from the lens surface. Engineered for outdoor use during sunny and bright conditions, these lenses offer reliable protection against harmful UVA and UVB radiation.
Standards and certifications
- EN.166F—complies with European standards for defense against the impact of fast-flying particles (Medium Energy Impact). The visor and frame are tested to withstand a steel ball with a 6 mm diameter and a weight of 0.86 g, traveling at a velocity of 162 km/h.
- ANSI Z87.1—specifies the visor and frame's impact resistance. Testing includes exposure to a high-mass steel object (High Mass) and a high-speed steel ball (High Velocity), ensuring reliable protection from common mechanical threats.
- UV Protection—the visor delivers comprehensive shielding from UVA and UVB radiation, blocking at least 99.9% of harmful rays.

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).
