Bright-light lens
The 15% light transmission is intended for strong sunlight and other bright daytime conditions.
The Wiley X Grid Grey combines a 15% light-transmission lens with a high-wrap Matte Black frame, removable Facial Cavity™ Seal and anti-fog coating. It is particularly relevant to bright-day motorcycle and outdoor use where a close-fitting frame and environmental barrier are useful. The complete eyewear has been assessed against defined American and European impact requirements.
Product description
The neutral Grey lens reduces brightness and general glare in strong sunlight while keeping colours close to their natural appearance. This configuration is not identified as polarised.
The Base Curve 8 frame follows the face closely and uses rubberised temples and nose pads at its contact points. A removable Facial Cavity™ Seal helps limit wind, dust, debris and peripheral light, while the anti-fog coating helps resist misting caused by humidity and temperature changes.
Key features
Natural-looking colour balance
The Grey tint reduces brightness without strongly altering surrounding colours.
Removable environmental barrier
The Facial Cavity™ Seal helps reduce wind, dust, debris and peripheral light around the eyes.
Close-fitting high-wrap frame
The Base Curve 8 profile follows the face closely, while rubberised temples and nose pads add grip at the contact points.
Additional retention
A button temple-tip strap provides another way to retain the eyewear during active use.
Defined impact assessments
The complete eyewear has been evaluated against ANSI Z87.1 and EN.166F requirements.
Recommended use
This configuration is particularly relevant to bright-day motorcycle, outdoor, airsoft and hardball activities. Customers prioritising water-surface glare reduction for fishing should choose a lens explicitly identified as polarised.
Fit & comfort
Designed to adjust, built to stay secure
The Base Curve 8 frame provides a close-fitting, high-wrap profile. Rubberised temples and nose pads add grip at the frame’s contact points, while the button temple-tip strap provides an additional retention option.

The removable Facial Cavity™ Seal forms a soft barrier around the eyes but does not create a completely sealed enclosure. Its environmental function is separate from the impact performance established by the defined complete-eyewear assessments.
The frame is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon. Its Matte Black finish provides a subdued, non-glossy appearance.
Lens details
Grey
15% light transmissionThe Grey lens reduces brightness and general glare in strong sunlight while keeping colours close to their natural appearance. It is intended for bright outdoor conditions rather than indoor or reduced-light environments. The lens is not identified as polarised and should not be expected to provide the reflected-surface glare reduction of a polarised filter.
The lenses are made from strong, durable Selenite™ polycarbonate and provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.
Anti-fog coating: Helps resist misting associated with humidity and temperature changes but does not guarantee fog-free performance.
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.
