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 Polarized Green Mirror/Matte Graphite
Comfortable protective eyewear featuring Captivate Polarized Green Mirror/Matte Graphite with large rectangular frames suitable for accommodating sizable prescription lenses. The lenses offer high mechanical durability to shield the eyes from debris, ricochets, and other projectiles, complying with the standards of class F (protecting against objects weighing 0.86 g at a velocity of 45 m/s).
Wiley X stands as a leading supplier of eye protection gear for the United States Armed Forces, athletes, and outdoor enthusiasts.
triloid frames, hvp technology
Frames anatomically designed using durable Triloid nylon material. Their structure guarantees a superb fit, maintaining comfort when wearing headphones or ear protectors. Non-slip rubber temples and nose pads provide secure placement of the eyewear. Frames and lenses incorporate HVP technology (High Velocity Protection), offering effective eye protection from injuries caused by high-speed objects. Rotatable, removable side shields add extra safety against objects approaching from the sides where the visor doesn't fully cover.
polycarbonate lenses with t-shell coating and captivate technology
Green lenses made of impact-resistant Selenite polycarbonate. They provide light transmission at the level of 12%. Additionally, they are coated with a scratch-resistant T-Shell coating, which protects the material from damage and extends its lifespan. Perfect for outdoor activities in sunny weather and bright lighting conditions.
Polarized lenses manufactured with Captivate technology protect the eyes from harmful UVA and UVB radiation. The oleophobic coating prevents dust, dirt, oil, snow, and water from sticking to the lens.
Standards and certifications
- EN.166F - complies with the European standard for medium energy impact protection. As per the standard, the frame and lenses can endure the impact of a steel ball measuring 6 mm in diameter and weighing 0.86 g, moving at a velocity of 162 km/h.
- ANSI Z87.1 - specifies the impact resistance of both the visor and frame. Tests confirm resilience against the impact of a substantial steel object (High Mass) as well as a fast-moving steel ball (High Velocity), ensuring protection from typical mechanical threats.
- UV Protection - the visor ensures comprehensive protection against UVA/UVB radiation, blocking a minimum of 99.9%.
