Bright-light lens
A Grey base colour and 14% light transmission suit intense sunlight and changing daytime light.
The WX Citadel pairs a CAPTIVATE™ Tungsten Mirror lens with a lightweight Matte Black/Tan frame. Its 14% light transmission and contrast-enhancing technology are intended for bright and changing daytime light, while the complete eyewear system has been assessed against a defined American military fragment-impact requirement.
Product description
The CAPTIVATE™ Tungsten Mirror lens has a Grey base colour and is designed for intense sunlight, light cloud cover and changing daytime conditions. Its filtering technology increases contrast and helps make colours and visual details easier to distinguish.
The lens coatings help manage reflections, smudges and surface wear during regular outdoor use.
Key features
CAPTIVATE™ technology
Increases contrast and helps make colours and visual details easier to distinguish.
Defined spectral filtering
Reduces scattered short-wavelength blue light associated with haze and filters UV and blue light up to 430 nm.
Interchangeable system
Compatible lenses can be fitted to adapt the frame to other light conditions.
Practical lens coatings
Anti-reflective, oleophobic and T-Shell™ treatments help manage reflections, smudges and surface wear.
Military fragment-impact testing
The complete eyewear system has been assessed against a defined American military requirement.
Recommended use
The WX Citadel CAPTIVATE™ Tungsten Mirror configuration is suited to daytime driving, general outdoor activities and tactical use. It is intended for conditions ranging from intense sunlight to bright daylight with light cloud cover, including activities where light levels may change during the day.
Fit & comfort
Designed to adjust, built to stay secure
The frame is made from Triloid™ Nylon, a lightweight, durable non-metal material. Its low weight supports comfortable wear, while the material contributes to the frame strength required for rigorous safety testing. This configuration has a two-tone Matte Black/Tan finish.

Lens details
CAPTIVATE™ Tungsten Mirror
14% light transmissionCAPTIVATE™ technology filters light where blue, green and red colours overlap, helping the colours appear more distinct and increasing contrast. It separately reduces scattered short-wavelength blue light that can contribute to haze. The lens also filters UV and blue light at wavelengths up to 430 nm.
The lens is made from Selenite™ polycarbonate, providing the strength and durability needed for demanding optical safety testing. It also provides 100% UVA and UVB protection.
T-Shell™: Provides scratch resistance to help limit surface damage. Scratch-resistant does not mean scratch-proof.
Anti-reflective coating: Reduces distracting reflections from the back surface of the lens to support visual comfort and clarity.
Oleophobic coating: Creates a smoother surface that helps reduce smudges and makes dirt, oil and moisture easier to remove.
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, with test velocities set according to the eyewear category.
ISO 12312-1
Sets requirements for sunglasses intended for normal wear and driving, including optical performance, product classification and user information.
