Lenses

Frame and lens must withstand the impact of a 22 mm steel ball weighing 43 grams dropped from 1,3 meters at a speed of 18 km/h. The lens must remain in the frame and is not to shatter. The frame must remain intact as well. Certified and tested according to the EN.166 (S) norm – EU. Personal Eye-Protection Standard. Eye-Protection Category: Increased robustness - Spectacles.

The lenses equalize the visible light spectrum to help light enter the eye more uniformly. They keep most colours neutral while enhancing greens; they reduce glare across reflective surfaces; and contrast and colour in outdoor environments are highlighted.

• UVA/UVB Protection: 100%
• Transmission: 15%

Frames

All Wiley X Frames are made out of virtually indestructible Triloid nylon.

Full Frame Sunglasses with a base curve 8 come with lenses that have a large curvature, which gives the frame a high wrap fit. This means that the sunglasses will enclose your face to a greater extent and, at the same time, give a snug fit. Due to the high wrap design and the enclosed and snug fit, you are ensured a better protection against light in your peripheral field of view.

As such, a pair of sunglasses with a base curve 8 will ensure you an active leisure look, which can keep your view clear and unbothered. The curved lenses and the high wrap fit ensure that functionality is in focus. Additionally, the high wrap fit will protect you against UV-rays from all angles while it, at the same time, protects your vision against water, wind, and dust, to a greater extent. If you want complete protection against the elements, a pair of sunglasses with our Facial Cavity™ Seal can offer you this, as all these models also comes with a base curve 8.

Lens Coating

• Anti-Reflective Coating
  Wiley X utilizes a proprietary oleophobic coating on all Captivate™ polarized lenses to create a smoother lens surface, which helps to keep dust, dirt, oil, snow and water from sticking to the lens. This in turn helps prevent smudging and water spots, making the lenses much easier to clean than an uncoated, standard lens.


• Hard Coating
  The anti-reflective coating eliminates distracting reflections on the back surface of the lenses and ensures optimal conditions for the polaroid filter. Is only available with our polaroid lenses.


• Oleophobic Coating
  Scratch resistant coating protects against damage and extends the life of the lens.

Features

• Dry Eye Syndrome
  Dry eyes are a result of decreased tear production or a change in the tear film’s consistency, so the tears evaporate quicker. In both cases the tear film is reduced and does not cover the entire eye surface, which causes irritated eyes and itching.
  
  Long term exposure to wind, dust and other debris can cause dry eyes or even Dry Eye Syndrome, so it is crucial to protect your eyes during activities which can cause such hazards. The Wiley X Facial Cavity™ Seals and the base curve of all Wiley X frames minimize the airflow around the eye, and Wiley X thereby offers the user 100% dedication to the challenge ahead.


• Floating Facial Cavity
  Comfortable, removable, and durable FLOATING FACIAL CAVITY™ SEALS easily clip into Wiley X's innovative Climate Control series eye-wear. This unique performance technology prevents your glasses from sinking as well as shields your eyes from harmful and dis-turbing outside elements like wind, peripheral light, dust, and debris.
  
  PLEASE NOTE: The floating facial cavity is an optional extra and is not supplied as standard with these glasses


• Removable Facial Cavity
  Our patented removable Facial Cavity Seal™ blocks out wind, debris and peripheral light.
