The glasses are very comfortable, they hold well during running and movement – they don't fall off or slip. The price is adequate for the quality of workmanship and ballistic protection. If someone doesn't need polarization, you can buy a cheaper version of the same model. I definitely recommend them.

Wiley X Recon Tactical Glasses - Captivate Polarized Black Mirror/Matte Grey
These protective glasses boast large, rectangular frames that can comfortably accommodate even the largest prescription lenses. With a light transmission of 13%, the tinted lenses improve visual comfort and minimize eye strain. They offer reliable protection against impacts from airborne objects. The product complies with the standards ANSI Z.87.1 and EN166F.
The Wiley X brand stands as a premier supplier of eye protection for the US military, athletes, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Polycarbonate lenses with Captivate technology and T-Shell coating
The polarized lenses, constructed from robust Selenite polycarbonate, allow 13% of light to pass through. With the help of Captivate technology, the image quality is enhanced through sharper colors, increased contrast, and improved clarity. The T-Shell coating bolsters UVA and UVB protection while boosting scratch resistance for greater lens longevity. An oleophobic layer repels dust, dirt, oil, snow, and water, simplifying the cleaning process.
Durable Triloid frames and HVP technology
Ergonomically crafted, the frames are constructed from impact-resistant Triloid nylon, ensuring a snug fit even when wearing hearing protection or headphones. The rubberized, non-slip temple tips and nose pads guarantee a firm grip on the face. Both frames and lenses are equipped with HVP technology (High Velocity Protection), safeguarding the eyes against threats from rapidly moving objects. Removable side shields provide extra protection from objects approaching from the sides, beyond the visor’s protective range.
Standards and certifications
- EN.166F - complies with the European standard for safeguarding against impacts from fast-moving particles (Medium Energy Impact). According to this standard, both the lenses and frame are able to withstand the impact of a 6 mm steel ball weighing 0.86 g, traveling at a speed of 162 km/h.
- ANSI Z87.1 - specifies the impact resistance for frames and lenses. Testing involves the impact from a hefty steel object (High Mass) and a rapidly moving steel ball (High Velocity), ensuring protection against common mechanical threats.
- UV protection - these lenses offer complete defense against UVA and UVB rays, blocking at least 99.9% of this radiation.
