Polarised glare reduction
Polarized Filter 8™ reduces horizontal glare reflected from water, wet roads, windscreens and other shiny surfaces.
The WX Jakl pairs a CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Black Mirror lens with a lightweight Matte Black frame. Its 13% light transmission is intended for intense sunlight, while the polarised filter reduces reflected glare from water and other shiny surfaces—making this configuration particularly relevant to fishing, daytime driving and outdoor use.
Product description
The Polarized Filter 8™ manages horizontal light reflected from surfaces such as water, wet roads and windscreens. Reducing this strong reflected glare can make visual details easier to distinguish in bright daytime conditions.
CAPTIVATE™ technology separately manages selected wavelengths of visible light to increase contrast and help colours appear more distinct. The Grey lens base keeps colours close to their natural appearance, while the Black Mirror finish and 13% light transmission suit intense sunlight. The interchangeable-lens frame can also accept a compatible lens for other light conditions.
Anti-reflective, oleophobic and scratch-resistant coatings address reflections, smudges and surface wear.
Key features
Bright-light lens
The Grey-based Black Mirror lens provides 13% light transmission for intense sunlight.
CAPTIVATE™ technology
Increases contrast and helps make colours and visual details easier to distinguish.
Interchangeable system
A compatible lens can be fitted to adapt the frame to other light conditions.
Practical lens coatings
Anti-reflective, oleophobic and T-Shell™ treatments address reflections, smudges and surface scratches.
Military fragment-impact testing
The complete frame-and-lens system has been assessed against a defined American military requirement.
Recommended use
The WX Jakl CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Black Mirror configuration is particularly suited to deep-water fishing, daytime driving and general outdoor activities in intense sunlight. Its polarised filter is most useful where reflected glare from water, wet roads or windscreens is a primary visibility concern.
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. Its Matte Black finish gives it a subdued, non-glossy appearance.

Lens details
CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Black Mirror
13% light transmissionThe lens uses a Grey base to keep colours close to their natural appearance. CAPTIVATE™ technology filters light where blue, green and red colours overlap, helping the colours appear more distinct and increasing contrast. Polarized Filter 8™ reduces horizontal light reflected from shiny surfaces, including water, wet roads and windscreens. The lens also reduces scattered short-wavelength blue light associated with haze and 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, 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.
