Bright-day polarisation
Reduces glare reflected from water and other shiny surfaces.
The Wiley X Affinity combines a 13% CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Rose Gold Mirror lens with a lightweight, high-wrap Gloss Black frame. Polarisation reduces glare reflected from water and other shiny surfaces, while the Green lens base makes green and yellow tones more distinct. This combination is suited to bright-day fishing, hiking and general outdoor use. The complete eyewear has undergone defined American and European impact testing.
Product description
The Rose Gold Mirror lens combines polarised reflected-glare reduction with colour filtering that increases the distinction of green and yellow tones. Its fixed 13% light transmission is intended for intense sunlight and other bright daytime conditions rather than indoor or substantially reduced-light environments.
The frame combines rounded rectangular lenses with a close-fitting Base Curve 8 profile. Lightweight Triloid™ Nylon construction keeps the overall frame mass low for active use.
Key features
Green-based colour performance
Makes green and yellow tones more distinct across contrasting outdoor scenery.
Fixed 13% transmission
Suited to intense sunlight and other bright daytime conditions.
Close-fitting high-wrap frame
The Base Curve 8 profile is more enveloping than medium-wrap eyewear.
Lightweight construction
The frame is made from Triloid™ Nylon.
UV filtration and lens coatings
Combines 100% UVA and UVB protection with anti-reflective, oleophobic and scratch-resistant treatments.
Defined impact assessment
The complete eyewear has undergone ANSI and European impact testing.
Recommended use
The Wiley X Affinity Rose Gold Mirror is suited to bright-day fishing and other water-based activities where reflected-glare reduction is important. Its increased distinction of green and yellow tones also supports hiking and general outdoor use across contrasting landscapes.
Daytime driving and bright-day motorcycle use are credible secondary applications. The polarised filter reduces reflections from wet roads and windscreens, while the high-wrap frame provides a close-fitting profile.
Customers needing eyewear for indoor or substantially reduced-light conditions should choose a lighter lens. Those wanting transmission that changes in response to UV exposure should choose an explicitly photochromic configuration.
Fit & comfort
Designed to adjust, built to stay secure
The lightweight Triloid™ Nylon frame has a Gloss Black finish, rounded rectangular lens shape and high-wrap Base Curve 8 profile. Its more enveloping shape follows the sides of the face more closely than medium-wrap eyewear.

The stated fit is intended for medium-to-large head sizes, although fit will vary between wearers.
Lens details
CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Rose Gold Mirror
13% light transmissionThe CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Rose Gold Mirror lens provides 13% light transmission and uses a Green base. It reduces selected orange and blue peaks so that green and yellow tones appear more distinct, helping increase separation across contrasting outdoor scenery. Polarized Filter 8™ reduces horizontally reflected light from water, wet roads, windscreens and other shiny surfaces. Reduced surface glare may make observable features beneath water easier to distinguish where water clarity, available light and viewing conditions allow. CAPTIVATE™ technology separately manages selected blue, green and red wavelengths to make colour differences and contrast more noticeable. The lens also filters selected short-wavelength blue light that can contribute to atmospheric haze.
The Selenite™ polycarbonate lens blocks 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Its anti-reflective coating reduces distracting reflections from the back surface, while the oleophobic treatment helps limit smudges and makes oil, moisture and dirt easier to remove. The T-Shell™ coating helps resist scratches and surface damage but does not make the lens scratch-proof.
Protection backed by defined testing
This configuration is assessed against ANSI Z87.1, EN.166S.
ANSI Z87.1
Assesses the complete eyewear against defined high-velocity and high-mass impact requirements. These include tests using a fast-moving 6.35 mm steel ball and a 500 g pointed falling projectile; the frame and lenses must remain intact under the specified conditions.
EN.166S
Confirms that the complete eyewear has undergone a defined European impact assessment using a specified steel ball. The frame must remain intact, and the lenses must remain secured without shattering under the stated test conditions.
