WILEY X glasses WX AXE CAPTIVATE™ CLEAR frame SMOKE lenses

Ultra-lightweight sunglasses, whose appearance is inspired by the early designs of the Wiley X brand. They feature a comfortable rubberised nose bridge and a very slightly curved frame. The sunglasses come with removable side shields that reliably protect your peripheral vision from wind, small dust particles and the like. The stainless steel arms are extended and partially fitted with a non-slip surface to maximise grip during dynamic situations.

This model features lenses with premium CAPTIVATE™ technology

The frame is made from durable Triloid™ nylon, which ranks among the strongest non-metallic materials used in eyewear manufacturing. The lenses are made from premium Selenite™polycarbonate. This material does not shatter upon impact and also features a T-SHELL™ coating

Wiley X eyewear frames are made from Triloid™ nylon, which ranks among the strongest non-metallic materials used in eyewear manufacturing. Its key advantage is an incredible balance between durability and light weight. Thanks to their Triloid™ nylon construction and Selenite™ polycarbonate lenses, Wiley X glasses are among the absolute best in eye protection, not only for sports shooters but also for professional marksmen.

CAPTIVATE™ lens technology redefines what you can expect from sunglasses. At the heart of this technology is a filter that removes harmful light, enhances colours and contrast, and increases clarity. CAPTIVATE™ lenses also filter out optical haze and saturate colours, leading to much better perception of space and depth. CAPTIVATE™ eliminates harmful UV and HEV radiation, which causes macular degeneration and cataracts.

The anti-reflective coating eliminates distracting light reflections on the back surface of the lenses and ensures that light is not reflected back into the eyes, distorting your vision. Lenses with an anti-reflective coating reduce glare and not only provide you with greater comfort and clearer vision, but also ensure optimal conditions for your polarising filter.

All Wiley X lenses feature the patented T-Shell™coating. This coating prevents unwanted damage to the lenses. When you choose Wiley X glasses, you get not only lenses made from top-quality materials, but also a premium finish that ensures the long life of your product.

The oleophobic coating is a protective layer against smudges. Applying this layer gives you lenses with a much smoother surface, which helps prevent dust, oil, dirt and water from sticking to the lenses. Ultimately, this prevents smudges and water spots from forming on the lenses, making them easier to clean and allowing you to maintain a clean surface and perfect visibility for longer.

All Wiley X glasses come with lenses made from Selenite™ polycarbonate, whose structure consists of carbon and phenol atoms. These lenses offer up to ten times greater durability than standard glass lenses, whilst remaining lighter in weight. The reliability and, above all, the safety of the lenses are certified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Despite their strength and weight, the lenses do not cause image distortion or reduce optical accuracy.

The ANSI Z87.1 safety standard sets a clear benchmark for eye protection when wearing sunglasses. This standard is defined by the American National Standards Institute. ANSI Z87.1 tests examine the mechanical resistance of the glasses and their protection against UV radiation according to very strict criteria.

Wiley X glasses that meet this standard are tested against the impact of a high-speed steel projectile with a diameter of 6.35 mm travelling at 164.6 km/h and the impact of a 500 g pointed cone dropped from a height of 127 cm.

The EN ISO 12312-1 standard sets out the technical conditions and requirements for the development and testing of sunglasses that protect against harmful solar radiation during active daily use. Glasses that meet this standard reduce the risk of sun glare and effectively protect against UV rays without distorting colours.
