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 Polarized Black Mirror/Matte Black
Protective glasses with large, rectangular frames that can comfortably accommodate even very large prescription lenses. They offer a light transmission of 13%, and the tinted lenses boost visual comfort while decreasing eye strain. These glasses provide effective protection against impact from flying objects. The product complies with ANSI Z.87.1 and EN166F standards.
The Wiley X brand ranks among the top suppliers of eye protection for the US military, athletes, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Polycarbonate lenses with Captivate technology and T-Shell coating
The polarized lenses crafted from robust Selenite polycarbonate allow 13% of light to pass through. With Captivate technology, the visual experience is elevated through enhanced colors, greater contrast, and superior clarity. To provide improved UVA and UVB protection, the T-Shell coating boosts scratch resistance and prolongs lens life. An oleophobic layer prevents dust, dirt, oil, snow, and water adherence, simplifying the cleaning process.
Durable Triloid frames and HVP technology
The ergonomically designed frames are made from impact-resistant Triloid nylon. The shape ensures a comfortable fit, even when using hearing protection or headphones. Rubberized, non-slip temple tips and nose pads provide a secure hold on the face. Both the frames and the lenses are made with HVP technology (High Velocity Protection), effectively protecting the eyes from hazards caused by fast-moving objects. Removable side shields offer additional protection against objects approaching from the sides, outside the visor’s coverage area.
Standards and certifications
- EN.166F - meets the European standard for protection against the impact of accelerated particles (Medium Energy Impact). According to the standard, the frame and lenses withstand the impact of a 6 mm steel ball weighing 0.86 g, traveling at 162 km/h.
- ANSI Z87.1 - defines the impact resistance of lenses and frames. Tests include the impact of a heavy steel object (High Mass) and a high-speed steel ball (High Velocity), confirming resistance to typical mechanical hazards.
- UV protection - the lenses provide full protection against UVA/UVB radiation (minimum 99.9% blockage).
