WILEY X CONTEND Captivate Polarized - Blue Mirror - Smoke Grey/Matte Graphite - sunglasses

The Wiley X CAPTIVATE goggles are designed to protect vision and improve visibility in the most extreme conditions. The technology and materials of these unique goggles meet the most stringent safety certifications by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Yet they remain a comfortable and trendy accessory.

The advanced CAPTIVATE technology further enhances visual acuity and color perception. This is because the human eye is unable to distinguish the entire color spectrum. Individual colours blend together and these colour transitions (especially between blue, green and red) cause problems with visual acuity. CAPTIVATE lenses can separate these transitions and increase contrast and sharpness of detail.

CAPTIVATE Blue Mirror polarizing lenses eliminate blinding light reflections. Especially suitable for sea fishing and large bodies of water.

Light transmission is 12%.

TECHNOLOGY

For maximum eye protection and to maintain perfect vision acuity and clarity, Wiley X lenses are composed of a total of eight protective layers.

- FILTER 8™ - Reflections of sunlight from the water surface, as well as from other shiny surfaces (such as snow or glass), significantly increase eye fatigue, reduce visual acuity and distort vision. That's why one of the layers of Wiley X lenses is a polarizing filter - Filter 8™. This prevents reflected rays whose waves travel in the horizontal plane from reaching the eyes. These are the ones that cause unpleasant glare. At the same time, the FILTER 8™ layer prevents the passage of all harmful UV rays that can otherwise cause pathological changes to the retina of the eye.

- SLICK™ - Both outer layers of Wiley X lenses are made of a hydrophobic compound. This means they actively repel water and ice. Thanks to special nanotechnology, the molecules of the hydrophobic layer are non-polar and do not bond with water molecules. The water molecules are therefore forced to bond with each other. Instead of wet coating and stains on the glasses, this results in larger water droplets that quickly run down the surface of the lenses and do not distort visual acuity. Hydrophobic surfaces are also anti-static, or repel dust and other contaminants. This makes the lenses very easy to clean with the soft microfiber cloth that comes with each Wiley X lens.

- T-SHELL™ - Two extra-hardened layers in the form of a flexible film protect the lenses from scratching, surface cracks or cracking. This enhances the Wiley X's protective ability, durability and visual acuity

- SELENITE™ - The two main protective layers of the Wiley X lenses are made of polycarbonates, which are structured with carbon and phenol atoms. These give the lenses up to ten times the impact resistance of conventional glass lenses. But they also have the advantage of being lightweight. The reliability and safety of Wiley X lenses is tested and certified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Despite their extreme strength, these lenses do not distort images or reduce optical accuracy at all angles.

- VIOLET 4™ - As light passes through the lens of the goggle, some light reflects back from the front and back of the lens, causing annoying flashes that impair vision. The Violet 4™ anti-reflective layer is designed to reduce or completely cancel out these glare effects. The layer can also eliminate the brightness of light that tires and strains the eyes. This feature will be appreciated by drivers, for example, who use Wiley X glasses to get rid of glare from the sun or headlights of oncoming vehicles.

En.166S-certified glasses must withstand the impact of a 6 mm diameter steel ball weighing 0.86 g shot at 162 km/h. The unbroken lens must remain firmly seated in the frame of the goggle, and the frame must remain intact.

Goggles certified to the ANSI HIGH VELOCITY IMPACT standard must withstand the impact of a 6.35 mm diameter steel ball fired at 164.6 km/h. The unbroken lens must remain firmly seated in the frame of the goggle, and the frame must remain intact.

OLEOPHOBIC COATING

Wiley X uses a patented oleophobic coating on all Captivate lenses to create a smoother lens surface that helps prevent the adhesion of dust, dirt, oil, snow and water. This helps to prevent smudging and water spots, making the lenses much easier to clean.

Protects against lens scratches with a thick and durable coating.
