The CAPTIVATE™ lens technology redefines what you can expect of your sunglasses. With this superior lens technology, we have meticulously engineered a filter for your sunglasses, which filter out harmful light and elevates your visual performance by enhancing colors and contrasts and increasing clarity. With CAPTIVATE™ your color perception is not only redefined, but we have also set a higher bar for what sunglasses can be for you.
The polarized filter creates vertical openings for light, meaning that only vertical light waves can reach your eyes, whereas horizontal light is blocked. Horizontal light waves are the glare that is generated when vertical light hits a shiny surface, for instance a wet road, the car windshield, and especially water. The horizontal light appears as a strong glare that jeopardize your vision and makes it difficult for you to navigate. The polarized filter eliminates this glare and helps you stay focused and relaxed all day without experiencing headaches or eye fatigue.
It is not only the skin that can be harmed by UV-rays, but your sight can also be diminished. If your eyes are exposed to the sun, long and intensive radiation can lead to an infection of your eyes’ conjunctiva or cornea. That is why it is so important to use sunglasses and eyewear with UV-protection. Our lenses all ensure you 100% UVA/UVB protection, assuring you protection from harmful rays that can lead to permanent eye damage.
An anti-reflective coating eliminates the distracting light reflections on the back surface of your lenses, making sure that light does not bounce back into your eyes and distort your vision. Lenses with an anti-reflective coating reduces blur and reflected images on the back surface of the lenses and will not only give you extra comfort and visual clarity, but also ensure optimal conditions for your polarized filter.
An oleophobic coating is an anti-smudge coating. The application of the coating gives you a pair of lenses with a much smoother surface, which helps you from keeping dust, oil, dirt, and water from sticking to the lenses. Ultimately, this helps in preventing smudging and water spots on your lenses, making them much easier to clean and making it easier for you to maintain a cleaner surface for a longer time.
All Wiley X lenses are treated with our T-Shell™ scratch resistant coating, which will protect the lenses against damage and extend their life span. With Wiley X you not only get lenses made from the high-quality material, polycarbonate, but also lenses that are coated with this top-of-the line hard coating, which ensure your lenses’ durability.
All Wiley X eyewear comes with our shatterproof Selenite™ polycarbonate lenses. This material is super durable and strong, and we use it to ensure that our rigorous testing can be carried out, so you can get lenses that are certified to the toughest optical safety standards.
Triloid™ Nylon is the toughest non-metal material available. It not only gives you lightweight comfort, but it also extremely strong. Among other, it is thanks to this highly durable material that WX eyewear can withstand the rigorous safety tests that we certify all our eyewear to. It might have a light and plastic feel, but TriloidTM Nylon is much stronger and of a higher quality.
The eyewear can be fitted with prescription lenses to match your optical needs. If you need prescription lenses, please reach out to a Wiley X optician near you and they will assist you in constructing prescription lenses for your WX eyewear, either directly into the lenses or using a prescription insert, depending on your Wiley X eyewear model.
The base curve refers to the curvature of the lenses, which defines how much the frame wraps around your face. The higher the base curve, the larger curvature. Wiley X operates with base curve eight and base curve six, however we do have some models that has a base curve between and under these two values.
Base curve eight means that the eyewear has a large curvature and a high wrap fit, meaning that the eyewear will enclose your face to a greater extent, which also will ensure you better protection against light in your peripheral field of view.
Base curve six lenses that are less curved than eyewear with a base curve eight. They have a medium wrap fit, meaning that they do not enclose your face in the same way, but rather sit flatter against your face. This makes them fit more face types and sizes better.
Picking out the perfect pair of eyewear or sunglasses can be difficult, because how do you know if it will fit your head? First step is to determine your head size. If you know the circumference (the measurement around your head), it will be much easier to know if the eyewear will fit you. Simply, take out a tape measure and measure the circumference of your head. Compare the number you get with the table you see above.
For instance, if your head has a circumference of 58 cm you have a large head size, and your face should be able to fit all our models that covers this head size. Many of our models have more than one fitting head size, for instance M-L.
This means that if your head size is either medium or large, you will be able to fit this model.
The frame width refers to the distance between the ends of your frame, including the hinges. To achieve the best result, both in terms of look and fit, the frame width and the width of your face, should correspond fairly. If the frame is too wide, you can risk that the eyewear will look too oversized to your face, and there might be a greater risk for the eyewear to slide down and your view being distorted. A too narrow frame can on the other seem too small for your face and pressure against your temples, potentially leading to headaches.
The bridge width is the measurement between your two lenes, meaning the space where the frame fit against your nose. It is important that the bridge of your eyewear fits the width of your nose. If the bridge width is too wide, the eyewear will slide down your nose. If the bridge width is too narrow, the eyewear will pressure to much against your nose, causing pressure points that can be uncomfortable.
The lens width, also called eye size, refers to the horizontal width of one of your lenses from the one side to the other, without including any of the frame. As the lenses define your field of sight, this is the most important measurement to ensure that the frame fits your eyes and face. The lenses are optimal, if they are as wide as your face and do not rest on your cheeks.
The temple length (arm length) is crucial for a secure fit. If they are too long to your face, the eyewear will slide right of. If they are too short, the eyewear will pressure against your temples, ears, and nose. The temple length is measured from the screw to the temple tip, including any bend the design might have.
ANSI Z87.1 tested means that the frame and lenses meet or exceed specific safety ratings set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), who has developed a certification system for safety eyewear in the US. As an American brand, we test our eyewear to pass a high velocity impact test and a high mass impact test, as dictated by ANSI.
The high velocity impact test demands that the frame and lenses must withstand the impact of a 6,35 mm steel ball fired at 164,6 km/h, while remaining intact. The high mass impact test demands that the frame and lenses must remain intact while withstanding a 500 grams pointed projectile that is dropped down on the eyewear from a height of 127 cm.
An EN.166F test means that the frame and lens live up to a low energy impact standard. The eyewear must withstand the impact of a 6 mm steel ball at 0,86 grams, which is dropped from 1,3 meters at a speed of 162 km/h. The lens must remain in the intact frame and not shatter for it to pass. This is a huge quality stamp when it comes to our performance sunglasses and protective eyewear, as you are guaranteed the same level of protection and quality, as the soldiers of the world demand.
With the side shields, you can attach additional protection of your vision to your sunglasses. With the side shields on you add extra protection of your vision in the peripheral area, meaning protection from fragments and the like, which you are not given without the side shields on due to the flat design of the eyewear.
The side shields can also be permanently installed, adding lasting protection of your vision in the peripheral area. Simply add the included plug to make the sides shields permanent. However, be aware that once the plug has been inserted, the side shields cannot be removed again.
Light transmission refers to the VLT (visual light transmittance) of the eyewear, meaning how much visible light that can pass through your lenses. This info is given in percentage and indicates the darkness of your lenses, so the lover a VLT your eyewear has, the darker the lens will be. For instance, if a pair of sunglasses has a light transmission value of 15%, it means that 15% of the visible light will pass through the lenses.
Designed to honor Wiley X's pioneering founder while providing advanced eye protection, the WX Founder will become your new favorite accessory. With maximum eye protection and a bold, standout silhouette, the WX Founder sunglasses are perfect for anyone who wants to make a statement while seeing clearly and safely. The robust build with its rubberized nose pads and temples for a slip free wear, and the attachable side shields make the model ideal for outdoor adventures, casual everyday wear, or tactical missions in the wild.
Can be made with prescription lenses. To find a Wiley X partner near you, who can make prescription lenses, use our Dealer Locator to find an optician.
With these lenses, the reflection of blue light (HEV) off water is reduced. Moreover, they equalize the visible light spectrum to help light enter the eye more uniformly. They keep most colors neutral, while enhancing greens, and they reduce glare across reflective surfaces.
