The glasses may seem expensive, but they definitely improve vision quality. They fit the face perfectly, are lightweight and look very good. They proved themselves while fishing in full sun – complete comfort of use. I can wholeheartedly recommend them.

Wiley X Alpha Glasses - Captivate Polarized Grey/Gloss Black
Protective glasses with large, rectangular frames that easily fit wide prescription lenses. These lenses have a light transmission level of 15%, and the Grey lenses increase comfort while driving, reducing eye strain. These glasses offer effective protection against incoming objects, meeting ANSI Z87.1+ and EN166F standards.
The Wiley X brand is one of the leading suppliers of protective eyewear for the U.S. military, athletes, and people leading an active outdoor lifestyle.
Captivate Technology and Polarization
Polarized lenses made with Captivate technology balance the visible light spectrum so that light reaches the eye more evenly. They maintain the neutral color tone while enhancing greens. They reduce glare, increase contrast and color in outdoor environments, and protect the eyes from harmful UVA, UVB, and blue light (HEV) radiation. The lenses are coated with an oleophobic coating that prevents smudges, and the adhesion of dust, oil, or dirt.
Selenite Polycarbonate Lenses
The lenses are made from shatterproof Selenite polycarbonate and coated with a T-Shell layer that resists damage and scratches, while also protecting against harmful UVA and UVB radiation.
Comfortable and Strong Frames
The frames are made from durable Triloid material, and their design ensures a comfortable fit without losing comfort when wearing headphones or hearing protectors. Rubber, non-slip temples and nose pads ensure the glasses stay securely on the face. Additional removable side shields offer extra protection against objects approaching from the sides.
Frames and lenses in HVP (High Velocity Protection) technology provide eye protection from injuries caused by fast-moving objects. The mechanical strength of the lenses allows protection against fragments or ricochets, meeting Class F requirements (protection against objects weighing 0.86 g moving at a speed of 45 m/s).
Standards and Certifications
- Standard EN166F — meets European requirements for protection against high-energy impact particles. Under this standard, the frame and visors withstand the impact of a 6 mm diameter steel ball weighing 0.86 g, moving at speeds up to 162 km/h.
- Standard ANSI Z87.1 — specifies visor and frame impact resistance, where resistance is tested against a high mass steel object and a fast-moving steel ball, confirming resistance to typical mechanical hazards.
