Wonderful glasses, very comfortable to use. They do not fall off or fly off during active movement or running. Considering the quality of construction and the presence of ballistic protection, the price is justified. If you do not need polarized lenses, you can get the same model cheaper. I recommend it.
Wiley X Recon Tactical Sunglasses - Captivate Grey/Matte Black
Protective eyewear featuring a large rectangular frame designed to fit oversized corrective lenses.

polycarbonate lenses with t-shell coating and captivate technology
Lenses crafted from shatter-resistant Selenite polycarbonate deliver 17% light transmission for optimal visibility. Featuring advanced Captivate technology, they enhance visual performance by sharpening image clarity, heightening contrast, and enriching color saturation. Protection from UVA and UVB rays is ensured, while the T-Shell coating adds significant scratch resistance and prolongs lens durability. An oleophobic coating effectively minimizes adherence of dust, dirt, oil, snow, and water, making maintenance and cleaning straightforward.
frames made of triloid, hvp technology
Ergonomically contoured frames are crafted from robust Triloid nylon. The frame design ensures a secure fit while maintaining comfort during the use of headsets or hearing protection. Non-slip rubberized temple tips and nose pads guarantee the glasses remain firmly in place. Both the frames and lenses are produced with HVP technology (High Velocity Protection), offering eye protection against injuries from high-speed projectiles. Removable side shields grant extra defense against objects entering from zones not fully shielded by the visor.
Standards and certifications
- EN.166F - complies with the European standard for medium energy impact protection. Both frame and lenses endure the strike of a 6 mm steel ball weighing 0.86 g at a velocity of 162 km/h.
- ANSI Z87.1 - defines the impact resistance of the visor and frame. Testing involves exposure to both a heavy steel object (High Mass) and a high-velocity steel ball, ensuring defense against standard mechanical threats.
- UV protection - the visor ensures complete UVA/UVB shielding, blocking at least 99.9% of harmful rays.

Selenite visors are made of unbreakable polycarbonate, which provides high visual clarity and UV protection.
T-Shell is a coating on Wiley X glasses that resists scratches, protects lenses from damage and extends their life.
Frames made of Triloid nylon provide lightweight and highly comfortable glasses. Triloid features optimal hardness and is highly resistant to impacts and falls.
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.
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.
EN166 is a European standard for optical requirements and mechanical protection for glasses and goggles. Optical requirements include light transmission and diffusion, refractive properties, heat and UV resistance, corrosion and ignition. Mechanical protection is the resistance to object impact, within which there are 4 levels designated by the letters S, F, B and A, where S is the least protection and A is the highest.
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.
According to this standard, the frame and visor of the glasses can withstand the impact of a 6.35 mm diameter steel BBs traveling at 45 m/s (164.6 km/h).
