The glasses are well made, extremely lightweight and comfortable. They are not overly dark, making them suitable even for days with less sunlight. In my opinion, they are great. Although the price might be discouraging, I believe they are worth the amount.

Wiley X Founder Glasses - Captivate Grey/Matte Black
Comfortable protective eyewear featuring Grey/Matte Black large rectangular frames, accommodating large corrective lenses. The lenses possess high mechanical strength, safeguarding the eyes from fragments, ricochets, and other incoming debris, in accordance with class F standards (protection against objects weighing 0.86 g at 45 m/s).
Wiley X is a premier supplier of eye protection equipment for the United States Armed Forces, athletes, and outdoor adventurers.
triloid frames, hvp technology
Anatomically designed frames crafted from durable Triloid nylon. These frames are engineered to offer an exceptional fit without compromising comfort, especially when using headphones or ear defenders. Non-slip rubber temples and nose pads guarantee that the glasses remain securely in place. Both the frames and lenses utilize HVP technology (High Velocity Protection), providing effective protection against injuries from rapidly moving objects. Removable, rotating side shields offer added defense against objects approaching from the sides, where the visor does not fully protect.
polycarbonate lenses with t-shell coating and captivate technology
Tinted lenses made of shatter-resistant Selenite polycarbonate with Captivate technology balance the visible light spectrum for better light transmission to the eye. They maintain color neutrality while enhancing greens. They reduce glare and improve contrast and color saturation in natural surroundings. Light transmission is 17%. The T-Shell coating protects against scratches, extending the durability of the material. An additional oleophobic coating prevents dirt, dust, oil, snow, and water from adhering to the lens surface. Perfect for outdoor use on sunny days and in bright light, they also provide eye protection against harmful UVA and UVB radiation.
Standards and certifications
- EN.166F - complies with the European standard for protection against medium energy impacts. As per the standard, both the frame and lenses endure the impact of a 6 mm diameter steel ball weighing 0.86 g, moving at 162 km/h.
- ANSI Z87.1 - specifies the impact resistance of the frame and visor. Tests confirm the ability to withstand impacts from a heavy steel object (High Mass) and a high-speed steel ball (High Velocity), ensuring protection against common mechanical risks.
- UV Protection - the visor offers complete UVA/UVB radiation shielding, with at least 99.9% blockage.
