I haven’t had the chance to use them daily yet, but after the initial tests I can see the lenses are excellent — they reproduce colours very well and provide sharpness, even when looking at a monitor. The quality difference compared to an older model from this company is noticeable. The frames have a nice matt colour and the temples are short. Not everyone will like this shape, although you can secure them with a strap. The glasses stay on the head quite well, although I think with the additional anti-fog insert it’s better to have a strap, especially on a motorcycle or bicycle. Overall I recommend them, but rather for people with a small or medium head — for a bigger head I would choose a different model, but one with these lenses.

Wiley X Gravity tactical glasses - Captivate Polarized Green Mirror / Kryptek Neptune
Light, comfortable, and well-fitted tactical glasses. Durable lenses provide protection against fragments and ricochets. Compliance with class F means protection against 0.86 g objects traveling at 45 m/s.
Wiley X is one of the key suppliers of protective eyewear for the US army, athletes, and active leisure enthusiasts.
Frames made from Triloid material
Profiled frames made from Triloid nylon and lenses from reinforced Selenite polycarbonate meet the ANSI Z87.1+ and EN166 F ballistic standards. The shape of the frames fits excellently without compromising comfort when using headphones. Rubber, non-slip temples and nose pads stabilize the glasses. The detachable Facial Cavity Seal insert ensures good fit to the face.
Polycarbonate lenses with T-Shell coating and Captivate technology
Used lenses with 12% light transmission and CAPTIVATE polarizing filter inside the lenses eliminate glare, increase brightness, and enhance depth perception. Protection against UV and blue (HEV) light ensures better contrast of objects in cloudy weather. Recommended for drivers, skiers, or anglers, they provide good clarity.
Anti-reflective coating reduces light reflections, offering a clearer view than standard Captivate lenses. The T-Shell Scratch coating protects against scratches, and the oleophobic addition repels dust, dirt, and water.

My previous Oakley glasses still work well, even though they've been around for years. I've become a little bored with them, and since they're already scratched and not very fashionable, I decided it was time for something new. I was looking for sunglasses that would be durable, versatile and polarised, and also provided good protection at the sides so that the glare wouldn’t blind me when driving. When I first put on the Wiley X Gravity with Captivate Polarized Grey lenses, I was impressed. On a sunny day, the image was incredibly clear and sharp, and the colours were vivid — much better than in my several-year-old Oakleys. The difference in image quality is down to technological advances. Unfortunately, the glasses turned out to be a bit too tight for my larger head, they slipped off my nose slightly and with the additional gasket they didn’t fit my face as well. I ended up sending them back and I’m getting a larger model of Wiley X with the same lenses, because I liked them a lot and don’t want to wait for a refund.
