The glasses are comfortable and pleasant to wear. Unfortunately, it turned out that the photochromic effect does not work under a baseball cap. Without the cap, everything is great and I can recommend these excellent glasses.
Wiley X Ozone Tactical Glasses - Photochromic Grey/Matte Black
Ergonomically designed, comfortable protective eyewear featuring a broad frame to shield against peripheral light. The high mechanical resistance of the lenses provides reliable protection from splinters, ricochets, and other flying debris, conforming to the standards of class F (safeguarding against objects weighing 0.86 g traveling at 45 m/s).
Wiley X stands out as a top provider of eye protection gear for the United States military, sports professionals, and enthusiasts who enjoy active outdoor pursuits.
triloid frames, hvp technology
Constructed from robust Triloid material, the frames offer a secure fit while maintaining comfort during use with headphones or hearing protection. Featuring rubberized, non-slip nose pads and earpieces, these glasses remain firmly in place throughout use. The Ozone model ensures reliable eye protection against both mechanical impacts and the detrimental effects of intense light. Both frames and lenses utilize HVP (High Velocity Protection) technology, safeguarding eyes from potential injuries caused by high-speed objects. Outfitted with a CLICK A.I.R (Air Intake Regulator) seal, the quick-click ventilation system provides effective airflow and helps prevent lens fogging.
Photochromic lenses with Hard Coating
Shatter-resistant Selenite polycarbonate forms the core of the tinted lenses, delivering 100% protection for your eyes against harmful ultraviolet UVA and UVB rays. A durable T-Shell scratch-resistant coating safeguards the lenses from damage, prolonging their operational life. Outfitted with photochromic lenses, the eyewear automatically adapts its tint according to ambient light conditions. Lens light transmission varies between 81% and 17%.
Standards and certifications
- ANSI Z87.1+ (High Mass Protection): compliant with this specification, both the lenses and frame are engineered to endure the impact from a 0.5 kg object dropped from a height of around 130 centimeters,
- ANSI Z87.1+ (High Velocity Protection): in accordance with this standard, the frame and visor are designed to resist the impact from a 6.35 mm steel ball traveling at a velocity of 164.6 km/h (45 m/s),
- Standard EN.166F: fulfills the European requirement for safeguarding against impacts from fast-moving particles (Medium Energy Impact), ensuring the frame and visor withstand strikes from a 6 mm steel ball weighing 0.86 g at a speed of 162 km/h.

I was really looking forward to these glasses, but for two reasons they didn't work for me: They were uncomfortable for me, pressing against my ears. The level of darkening depends on UV radiation— I noticed that the automatic darkening did not work either in the car or in winter sunlight.
-
I am delighted with the Wiley X Ozone tactical glasses! The photochromic lenses are a real find—they adjust themselves to the light, and my eyes don't get tired. Thanks to the removable seal, the glasses fit snugly to my face, protecting me from dust and wind. This is my favorite accessory for active recreation.

The glasses are comfortable; they are great for driving, cycling, and kayaking. The set includes a soft case, temple straps, and a gasket that fits the face well, plus it has the useful option of creating 'ventilation'. So far, I am satisfied.

The glasses are comfortable and fit well. Unfortunately, it turned out that photochromic lenses are not for me. I didn't anticipate that under a cap with a visor, the glasses wouldn't darken. Without the cap, they worked very well. However, I prefer classic sunglasses. The store accepted the return, and I bought another pair—in fact, the same ones but with dark lenses, which I am very satisfied with.

The color changes quickly, the glasses are comfortable and stable on the head. The gasket and strap are useful on the bike. Luckily, I haven't tested their durability yet.
