Glasses Wiley X Founder - Captivate Polarized Blue Mirror Lenses - Gloss Crystal Grey Frame

With the Wiley X Founder – Captivate Grey Lenses – Gloss Crystal Grey Frame you choose a pair of glasses that combines sturdiness and wearing comfort. The frame is made of Triloid nylon: a lightweight material that can take considerable abuse without failing. The lenses themselves are made of shatter-resistant SeleniteTM (polycarbonate) and stop flying projectiles, keeping your eyes protected. The T-Shell coating helps against scratches, so the lenses look new for longer.

The optical part revolves around Captivate lens technology. It filters out harmful light and brings out colors and contrast, making the image feel as if there's no sunglasses in front of your eyes. You also get 100% protection against harmful UVA/UVB radiation. A polarized filter in the lenses lets light through via vertical openings and blocks horizontal light rays; because glare comes from such horizontal rays, those are blocked. The anti-reflective coating then increases comfort, as light rays that would otherwise bounce off the back of the lens into your eye have no chance.

When you wear the glasses outside, they will sooner or later get dirty – the designers at Wiley X anticipated this with an oleophobic coating. This anti-smudge layer prevents dust, dirt and water from sticking to the lenses; everything stays as loose droplets that you can easily wipe off without smearing. A sensible choice then for those who use the glasses during outdoor activities.
