The glasses are very modern and provide good eye protection. The side shields work great in windy conditions, and the small ventilation holes at the corners of the lenses really do their job. They are perfect both for everyday use and for trips. On military.EU the price is very attractive, so I definitely recommend them.
Wiley X Sierra Tactical Glasses - Captivate Grey/Matte Black
Exceptionally comfortable, ultra-lightweight, ergonomically designed protective eyewear featuring a spacious rectangular frame suitable for fitting very large prescription lenses. With a mechanical strength rating, the lenses safeguard the eyes against shrapnel, ricochets, and other projectiles, fully complying with the standards of Class F (providing protection from objects weighing 0.86 g traveling at speeds of 45 m/s).
Triloid Frames
Constructed from robust yet lightweight Triloid, the frames deliver exceptional durability without adding unnecessary weight. Their ergonomic design ensures a secure fit and remains comfortable to wear with headphones or earmuffs. The temples and nose pads, featuring non-slip rubber elements, maintain stable positioning of the glasses during active use. Removable, rotating side shields offer enhanced lateral eye protection against hazards the main visor may not fully cover.
Selenite Polycarbonate Lenses
Selenite polycarbonate lenses provide exceptional durability. Outstanding performance is guaranteed during outdoor missions in intense sunlight and high-glare environments. The advanced T-Shell coating improves visor resistance to scratches, while the oil-resistant layer effectively guards against greasy fingerprints and smears.
Captivate technology in the lenses optimizes the visible light spectrum distribution, ensuring more uniform light entry to the eyes. Greens appear enhanced, while overall color balance remains truly neutral. Glare reduction combines with heightened outdoor contrast and color definition for maximum visual clarity. Comprehensive 100% protection is granted against harmful ultraviolet UVA and UVB rays, in addition to blue light (HEV).
Standards and Certifications
- ISO 12312-1 - Specifies standards for UV protection, lens optical quality, sun filter categories ranging from 0 to 4, and structural integrity. Meeting this norm ensures that sunglasses deliver reliable eye protection and are accurately marked by the manufacturer.
- ANSI Z87.1 - Establishes criteria for visor and frame impact resistance. Rigorous tests evaluate endurance against the force of a heavy steel object (High Mass) and a high-speed steel projectile (High Velocity), verifying defense against standard mechanical hazards.

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).
