Fishing-focused polarisation
Reduces glare reflected from the water’s surface.
Designed primarily for fishing in bright daylight, the Wiley X Alpine combines a 12% light-transmission CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Green Mirror lens with a ventilated Matte Translucent Black high-wrap frame. The lens reduces glare reflected from water and enhances colour distinction, while the active-fit features support movement and moisture. The complete frame-and-lens system has also been assessed against a defined American military fragment-impact requirement.
Product description
Polarized Filter 8™ reduces horizontal glare reflected from water and other shiny surfaces. The Copper-based CAPTIVATE™ lens increases contrast and makes green, orange and blue tones appear more vivid and easier to distinguish.
The high-wrap frame combines integrated airflow channels with semi-hooked temples and hydrophilic rubber contact points. These features help manage condensation and support stability as movement and moisture increase.
Key features
Green Mirror colour performance
The Copper base makes green, orange and blue tones appear more vivid and easier to distinguish.
Bright-day lens
Provides 12% light transmission for bright daytime conditions, including periods of light cloud cover.
Dynamic ventilation
Side channels direct airflow behind the lens to help manage condensation.
Active high-wrap fit
Semi-hooked temples and hydrophilic rubber contact points support stability during movement.
Defined fragment-impact testing
The complete frame-and-lens system has been assessed against MIL-PRF-32432A.
Recommended use
The WX Alpine Green Mirror configuration is particularly suited to fishing in bright daytime conditions where glare reflected from the water is common.
Its ventilation and active-fit features also support cycling, running, trail activities, daytime driving, shooting and tactical use where movement, heat or moisture are important considerations.
Fit & comfort
Designed to adjust, built to stay secure
The high-wrap Base Curve 8 frame is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon. Its Matte Translucent Black finish combines a non-glossy surface with a partially translucent appearance.
The high-wrap Base Curve 8 frame is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon. Its Matte Translucent Black finish combines a non-glossy surface with a partially translucent appearance.
The Dynamic Ventilation System directs airflow through integrated side channels and behind the lens to help manage condensation. Semi-hooked temples and rubber nose and temple contact points support a stable fit. The hydrophilic rubber is designed to provide more grip as moisture increases.
Lens details
CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Green Mirror
12% light transmissionThe CAPTIVATE™ lens manages selected wavelengths by separating overlapping blue, green and red light. Its Copper base increases contrast and makes green, orange and blue tones appear more vivid and easier to distinguish. Polarized Filter 8™ reduces horizontal light reflected from surfaces such as water, wet roads and windscreens. Around water, this reduction in surface glare can make observable features beneath the surface easier to distinguish where water clarity, light and viewing conditions permit. The lens is intended for bright daytime conditions, including periods of light cloud cover. It reduces scattered short-wavelength blue light associated with haze and filters ultraviolet and blue light at wavelengths up to 430 nm.
The 2.5 mm lens is made from strong, durable Selenite™ polycarbonate and provides 100% UVA and UVB protection.
Anti-reflective coating: Reduces distracting reflections from the back surface of the polarised lens.
Oleophobic coating: Helps reduce smudges and makes dirt, oil and moisture easier to remove.
T-Shell™ coating: Helps resist scratches and limit surface damage, although scratch-resistant does not mean scratch-proof.
Protection backed by defined testing
This configuration is assessed against ANSI Z87.1, MIL-PRF-32432A, ISO 12312-1.
ANSI Z87.1
Assesses the complete eyewear against defined high-velocity and high-mass impact tests. These include a fast-moving 6.35 mm steel ball and a 500 g pointed falling projectile; the frame and lens must remain intact during testing.
MIL-PRF-32432A
Assesses the complete frame-and-lens system against a defined American military high-speed fragment-impact requirement. Test velocities vary according to the applicable eyewear category.
ISO 12312-1
Assesses sunglasses intended for normal wear and driving against defined optical, classification and user-information requirements.
