Deep-water glare reduction
Polarised filtration reduces reflections from the water’s surface.
The Wiley X Covert CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Blue Mirror is a deep-water fishing configuration for intense sunlight. Its 11% light-transmission lens reduces water-surface glare, while the Grey base keeps most colours relatively natural and makes green tones more distinct. A Gloss Crystal Light Sapphire Blue frame provides a lightweight, medium-wrap fit.
Product description
Polarized Filter 8™ reduces horizontal glare reflected from water and other shiny surfaces. CAPTIVATE™ filtering increases contrast, while the Blue Mirror treatment manages selected blue light reflected from water.
The Base Curve 6 frame offers a less enveloping alternative to high-wrap fishing eyewear. The complete eyewear has been assessed against defined American and European impact requirements.
Key features
Strong-light lens
The 11% light transmission is intended for intense sunlight and other bright daytime conditions.
Grey-based colour performance
Keeps most colours relatively natural while making green tones more distinct.
Medium-wrap fit
The Base Curve 6 profile provides a less enveloping shape than a high-wrap frame.
Lightweight construction
The durable Triloid™ Nylon frame keeps overall frame weight low.
UV filtration and lens coatings
The lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection and include anti-reflective, oleophobic and scratch-resistant treatments.
Recommended use
This configuration is primarily intended for deep-water fishing in intense sunlight. Daytime driving and other bright outdoor activities involving reflective surfaces are relevant 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 shape than a high-wrap design. It is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon.

Lens details
CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Blue Mirror
11% 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. The Blue Mirror lens filters selected blue light reflected from water, while its Grey base keeps most colours relatively natural and makes green tones appear more distinct. 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, EN.166F.
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.
EN.166F
Confirms that the complete eyewear has passed a defined low-energy impact test in which the lenses must remain in the frame and must not shatter under the specified conditions.
