Replacement lenses for WX CLIMB glasses POLARISED CAPTIVATE™ BLUE

CAPTIVATE™ lens technology redefines what you can expect from sunglasses. At the heart of this technology is a filter that removes harmful light whilst enhancing colours and contrast and increasing clarity. CAPTIVATE™ lenses also filter out optical haze and enrich colours, resulting in a 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 and does not distort vision. Lenses with an anti-reflective coating reduce blurring and provide you not only with greater comfort and clearer vision, but also ensure optimal conditions for your polarising filter.

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

An oleophobic coating is a protective layer that prevents 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. As a result, , this prevents smudges and water spots from forming on the lenses, making them easier to clean and helping to maintain a clean surface and perfect visibility for longer.

All Wiley X brand 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 safety standard ANSI Z87.1 sets a clear standard 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 for impact from a high-speed steel projectile with a diameter of 6.35 mm travelling at a speed of 164.6 km/h, and for impact from a 500 g pointed cone dropped from a height of 127 cm.

Compliance with the EN.166F standard means that the glasses withstand, without damage, an impact from a steel ball 6 mm in diameter and weighing 0.86 g at a speed of 162 km/h from a distance of 1.3 m. To pass the test, the lens must remain firmly in the frame and the frame itself must remain undamaged.
