Deep-water fishing lens
Polarised filtration reduces glare reflected from the water’s surface.
The Wiley X Apex CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Black Mirror combines a 13% light-transmission lens for deep-water fishing and bright-day use with a lightweight Matte Tortoise Brown, medium-wrap frame. Polarised filtration reduces glare reflected from water and other shiny surfaces, while the Grey lens base keeps colours close to their natural appearance.
Product description
Polarized Filter 8™ reduces horizontally reflected glare from water, wet roads and windscreens. CAPTIVATE™ technology manages selected wavelengths to increase contrast and help visual details appear more distinct without strongly altering overall colour appearance.
The Base Curve 6 frame provides a medium-wrap profile and is made from lightweight Triloid™ Nylon. The complete eyewear has been assessed against defined ANSI impact requirements.
Key features
Bright-day performance
The 13% light transmission is intended for intense sunlight and other strong daylight.
Natural-looking colour balance
The Grey lens base keeps colours close to their natural appearance while increasing contrast.
Medium-wrap frame
The Base Curve 6 profile provides a less enveloping shape than a high-wrap design.
UV filtration and lens coatings
The lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection and include anti-reflective, oleophobic and scratch-resistant treatments.
Defined impact assessment
ANSI Z87.1 evaluates the complete eyewear against specified high-velocity and high-mass tests.
Recommended use
This configuration is particularly relevant to deep-water fishing in intense sunlight. Daytime driving and other bright outdoor activities involving reflective surfaces are credible secondary uses.
Fit & comfort
Designed to adjust, built to stay secure
The Base Curve 6 frame provides a medium-wrap profile for customers who prefer a less enveloping fit than a high-wrap design. It is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon.

The Matte Tortoise Brown finish gives the frame a subdued, non-glossy brown patterned appearance.
Lens details
CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Black Mirror
13% light transmissionPolarized Filter 8™ reduces horizontal light reflected from water, wet roads, windscreens and other shiny surfaces. Around water, reducing interference from surface reflections may make observable features beneath the surface easier to distinguish, depending on water clarity, available light and viewing conditions. CAPTIVATE™ technology manages selected wavelengths by separating areas of overlapping blue, green and red light. This increases contrast and helps colours and visual details appear more distinct, while the Grey base keeps colours close to their natural appearance. The lenses also filter selected short-wavelength blue light associated with atmospheric haze and block UVA, UVB and blue light at wavelengths up to 430 nm.
The lenses are made from strong, durable Selenite™ polycarbonate and provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.
Anti-reflective coating: Reduces distracting reflections from the rear surface of the polarised lenses.
Oleophobic coating: Helps reduce smudges and makes oil, dirt 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, ISO 12312-1.
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 during testing.
ISO 12312-1
Sets requirements for sunglasses intended for normal wear and driving, including optical performance, classification and user information.
