The glasses may seem expensive, but they definitely improve the quality of vision. They fit the face perfectly, are lightweight, and look very good. They worked well while fishing in full sun—totally comfortable to use. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Wiley X Alpha Glasses - Captivate Polarized Grey/Gloss Black
Protective glasses with a large rectangular frame allowing accommodation of very large corrective lenses. They feature light transmission at the level of 15%, and the lens color Grey improves comfort while driving by reducing eye fatigue. They provide effective eye protection against incoming objects. They meet the standards ANSI Z.87.1+ and EN166F.
Wiley X is one of the leading suppliers of eye protection for the US military, athletes, and people actively spending time outdoors.
Captivate Technology and Polarization
Polarized lenses crafted with Captivate technology evenly balance the visible light spectrum, ensuring that light reaches the eyes consistently. They preserve the neutral color tone while highlighting greens. These lenses diminish glare, enhance contrast and color in outdoor settings, and shield the eyes from harmful UVA, UVB, and blue light (HEV) radiation. An oleophobic coating prevents smudges, and hinders dust, oil, or dirt from sticking.
Selenite polycarbonate lenses
The visors are made from shatterproof Selenite polycarbonate, and are coated with T-Shell, which protects them from damage and scratches. They provide eye protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation UVA and UVB.
Comfortable and durable frames
The frames are made from durable Triloid. Their shape ensures a good fit and does not compromise comfort when using headphones or ear protection. Rubber, non-slip temples and nose pads ensure stable positioning of the glasses on the face. Detachable side shields provide additional eye protection from objects incoming from the side not fully covered by the visor.
Both the frames and lenses of the glasses are made with HVP((High Velocity Protection) technology. This protects the eyes from injuries that can be caused by high-speed objects. The degree of mechanical durability of the lenses allows protecting eyes from fragments, ricochets, and other incoming objects, meeting the requirements of class F((protects against objects weighing 0.86 g moving at a speed of 45 m/s).
Standards and certifications
- Standard EN.166F-- meets the European standard for protection against the impact of propelled particles (Medium Energy Impact). According to the standard, the frame and visors will withstand the impact of a steel ball with a diameter of 6 mm and a weight of 0.86 g, moving at a speed of 162 km/h
- Standard ANSI Z87.1-- specifies the impact resistance of the visor and frame. During testing, their resistance to impact from a high-mass steel object (High Mass) and a high-velocity steel ball (High Velocity) is checked, confirming resistance to typical mechanical hazards.

Great and versatile glasses that are suitable both for the shooting range and everyday use in the city. I chose the all-black model so they would match every outfit.
