Facial Cavity Seal
Fine dust and pollen, as well as wind, can cause long-term eye irritation, such as Dry Eye Syndrome. Peripheral light can also diminish optical clarity. Wiley X removable soft foam FACIAL CAVITY™ SEALS block out even the finest irritants and peripheral light, protecting the eyes and allowing polarised lenses to perform at peak levels. Available in all styles in the Climate Control Series.
Prescription Ready
By teaming up with prescription lens manufacturer Shamir, who specialises in high base curve eyewear, we can secure the same level of protection and optical clarity to those in need of prescription eyewear. The result of this partnership ensures that the majority of all models can be delivered with customised prescription lenses, and in the case of higher prescriptions, several models offer an insert or a lower base curve rim insert.
Prescription RX RIM System
The Wiley X RX Rim System makes eye protection available for prescription powers up to +5.50 and -5.50. Now more people than ever can experience the EN.166 safety rated protection and sleek style of RX-ready sun- and safety glasses that are equipped for anything at any time. Available in selected styles in the Climate Control Series.

Almost not noticeable, it will keep you focused during a long day at work. The thin design keeps your comfortable at any time. Available on the model WX Rogue. Comm Temples 0.9 mm.

Dual Lens Technology
When you wish to be active under highly extreme conditions and a goggle is required, the Wiley X DUAL Technology is a great and effective tool to secure your line of sight. When the lens is cooled down by the colder air from outside the lens and the warmer air hit the lens from the inside, fog will normal appear. The Wiley X DUAL Technology consists of an incorporated thermal bridge between the two layers of the Wiley X DUAL lens, which divides the cold and the warm air from each other and prevents fogging to appear.
Captivate
CAPTIVATE™ eyewear is the only contrast enhancing glasses that meet the EN. 166 & ANSI Z87.1 safety standards. While other companies focus on either the functionality or style of eyewear, we manage to deliver a product that’s stylish on the outside and mind blowing from the inside. CAPTIVATE™ DOESN’T ONLY REDEFINE COLOR, IT SETS THE BAR FOR WHAT SUNGLASSES CAN BE.
Filter 8

The Wiley X polarized lenses is better at filtering the light, which ensures unequal clarity and contrast. It is innovative technologies like these that make Wiley X the obvious choice during all water activities.
