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 Sunglasses - Captivate Grey/Matte Black
Protective eyewear featuring large, rectangular frames accommodates even oversized prescription lenses with ease. They offer a light transmission of 17%, and the tinted lenses improve visual comfort while minimizing eye strain. These glasses effectively shield against impacts from flying debris and meet the standards of ANSI Z.87.1 and EN166F.
The Wiley X brand ranks among the top providers of eye protection for the US military, sports professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Polycarbonate lenses with Captivate technology and T-Shell coating
The lenses are crafted from robust Selenite polycarbonate, allowing for 13% light transmission. With the aid of Captivate technology, visual quality is enriched with sharper colors, heightened contrast, and enhanced clarity. Equipped with T-Shell coating, the lenses provide reinforced UVA and UVB protection, boosting scratch resistance and prolonging their durability. An oleophobic layer ensures dust, dirt, oil, snow, and water don't adhere, simplifying cleaning.
Durable Triloid frames and HVP technology
The frames, designed with ergonomic precision, are crafted from impact-resistant Triloid nylon. Their shape guarantees a snug fit, even when wearing hearing protection or headphones. Featuring rubberized, non-slip temple tips and nose pads, these frames ensure a steady grip on the face. Constructed with HVP technology (High Velocity Protection), both the frames and lenses guard the eyes against dangers from high-speed objects. Removable side shields provide enhanced protection against objects approaching sideways, beyond the visor's main coverage.
Standards and certifications
- EN.166F - aligns with the European standard for safeguarding against the impact from accelerated particles (Medium Energy Impact). As per this standard, both the frame and lenses can endure the strike of a 6 mm steel ball weighing 0.86 g at a speed of 162 km/h.
- ANSI Z87.1 - specifies the impact resistance for frames and lenses. Testing includes the impact of a substantial steel object (High Mass) and a rapidly moving steel ball (High Velocity), verifying their durability against typical mechanical threats.
- UV protection - the lenses ensure complete protection against UVA/UVB radiation, with at least 99.9% blockage.
