I haven't had the chance to use them every day yet, but after some initial tests, I can see that the lenses are excellent—they render colors very well and provide clarity, even when looking at a monitor. The quality difference compared to an older model from this brand is noticeable. The frames have a nice matte color, and the temples are short. Not everyone will like this shape, but you can secure them with a strap. The glasses sit pretty well on the head, although I think with the extra anti-fog insert, it's better to use a strap, especially on a motorcycle or bicycle. Overall, I recommend them, but more for people with small or medium-sized heads—for a larger head, I'd choose a different model, but with these lenses.

Wiley X Gravity Tactical Glasses - Captivate Polarized Green Mirror / Kryptek Neptune
Lightweight, comfortable, and secure-fitting tactical eyewear. The mechanical durability of the lenses shields the eyes from shrapnel, ricochets, and other airborne debris. These glasses comply with the requirements of class F (guarding against objects weighing 0.86 g traveling at a velocity of 45 m/s).
Wiley X ranks among the top providers of eye protection for the United States military, athletes, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Frames made of Triloid material
Frames crafted from Triloid nylon and lenses constructed from shatter-resistant Selenite polycarbonate adhere to the ballistic protection standards ANSI Z87.1+ and EN166 F. The frame's design ensures a snug fit while maintaining comfort when wearing headphones or hearing protection. Non-slip rubber temples and nose pads offer a secure hold on the face. The removable Facial Cavity Seal attachment ensures a close fit to the face, offering protection against wind and dust, among other elements.
polycarbonate lenses with T-shell coating and Captivate technology
The lenses with 12% light transmission and the CAPTIVATE polarization filter embedded between lens layers focus light on a single plane in bright conditions, reducing distracting sunlight glare, enhancing brightness, and improving depth perception. They protect eyes against harmful UVA and UVB rays as well as high-energy visible (HEV) blue light. During overcast and/or rainy weather, they increase contrast for objects, greatly enhancing the quality of vision and providing perfect clarity with complete visual comfort. These glasses are highly recommended for drivers, skiers, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Anti-reflective coating stops distracting reflections by preventing light rays from bouncing into the eyes and causing image distortion and eye irritation. This provides a clearer view compared to standard Captivate lenses. The glasses are equipped with a T-Shell Scratch coating to guard the lenses against scratches. Additionally, the oleophobic coating repels dust, dirt, oil, snow, and water from the lens surface.
Standards and Certifications

My earlier Oakley glasses are still working well, even though they're already a few years old. I got a bit 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 polarized, and also well protected on the sides so that 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 view was incredibly clear and sharp, and the colors vibrant—a lot better than in my several-year-old Oakleys. The difference in image quality comes from advances in technology. Unfortunately, the glasses turned out to be a bit too tight on my larger head, they slipped off my nose a bit, and with the additional gasket, they didn't fit my face as well. Ultimately, I returned them and I'm getting a bigger Wiley X model with the same lenses, because I liked them a lot and don't want to wait for a refund.
