Bright-light lens
A Grey base and 14% light transmission suit intense sunlight and changing daytime light.
The WX Founder pairs a CAPTIVATE™ Tungsten Mirror lens with a lightweight Matte Black/Tan frame. Its Grey base, 14% light transmission and contrast-enhancing technology are intended for bright and changing daytime conditions, including general outdoor use and daytime driving.
Product description
The CAPTIVATE™ Tungsten Mirror lens manages selected wavelengths of visible light to increase contrast and help make colours and visual details easier to distinguish. Its Grey base and 14% light transmission suit intense sunlight as well as bright conditions with light cloud cover.
Anti-reflective, oleophobic and scratch-resistant coatings address reflections, smudges and surface wear during regular use. The lens also provides defined UV and blue-light filtration.
The two-tone Matte Black/Tan frame is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon. The complete eyewear has been assessed against defined ANSI and European impact standards.
Key features
CAPTIVATE™ technology
Increases contrast and helps make colours and details easier to distinguish.
Defined spectral filtering
Reduces scattered short-wavelength blue light associated with haze and filters UV and blue light at wavelengths up to 430 nm.
UV protection
Provides 100% UVA and UVB protection.
Practical coatings
Anti-reflective, oleophobic and T-Shell™ treatments address reflections, smudges and surface scratches.
Impact testing
The complete eyewear has been assessed against defined ANSI and European requirements.
Recommended use
The WX Founder CAPTIVATE™ Tungsten Mirror configuration is suited to daytime driving and general outdoor activities in bright sunlight or light cloud cover. Its 14% light transmission and contrast-enhancing technology are most relevant when strong daylight and changing daytime conditions are the main visibility considerations.
Fit & comfort
Designed to adjust, built to stay secure
The frame is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon, a non-metal material that helps keep unnecessary frame mass low. 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 strong, durable Selenite™ polycarbonate and provides 100% UVA and UVB protection.
T-Shell™: Helps resist scratches and reduce 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, EN.166F.
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.
EN.166F
Confirms that the frame and lens have passed a defined low-energy impact test in which the lens must remain in the frame and must not shatter under the specified conditions.
