Fishing-focused lens
Polarised filtration reduces glare reflected from the water’s surface.
The Wiley X Jakl CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Green Mirror combines fishing-focused glare reduction with a Copper-based lens that makes green, orange and blue tones more distinct. Its high-wrap, interchangeable frame provides a close-fitting platform for different light conditions, while the complete frame-and-lens system has been assessed against a defined military fragment-impact requirement.
Product description
The 12% light-transmission lens is intended for bright daytime conditions, including periods of light cloud cover. Polarized Filter 8™ reduces glare reflected from the water, while CAPTIVATE™ technology increases contrast and supports clearer distinction between selected colours.
The lightweight Triloid™ Nylon frame is finished in Polished White. This configuration includes the CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Green Mirror lenses.
Key features
Copper-based colour performance
Increases contrast and makes green, orange and blue tones more distinct.
Bright-day performance
The 12% light transmission suits bright conditions, including periods of light cloud cover.
Lens adaptability
Compatible alternative lenses may be fitted separately for other lighting environments.
UV filtration and lens coatings
The lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection and include anti-reflective, oleophobic and scratch-resistant treatments.
Defined fragment-impact testing
The complete frame-and-lens system has been assessed against MIL-PRF-32432A.
Recommended use
This configuration is particularly relevant to fishing in bright daytime conditions. Daytime driving and other activities around reflective surfaces are credible secondary uses, while the tested eyewear system may also suit tactical applications.
Fit & comfort
Designed to adjust, built to stay secure
The Base Curve 8 frame provides a close-fitting, high-wrap profile that is more enveloping than a medium-wrap design. Its interchangeable construction accepts compatible Wiley X lenses, allowing the frame to be retained when substantially different light conditions require another option.

This configuration is supplied with the CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Green Mirror lenses; alternatives are obtained separately. The frame is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon, and its Polished White finish provides a smooth, glossy appearance.
Lens details
CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Green Mirror
12% 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. The Copper-based CAPTIVATE™ lens manages selected wavelengths by separating areas of overlapping blue, green and red light. This increases contrast and makes green, orange and blue 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, MIL-PRF-32432A, ISO 12312-1.
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.
MIL-PRF-32432A
Assesses the complete frame-and-lens system against a defined American military fragment-impact requirement. Test velocities vary according to the relevant eyewear category.
ISO 12312-1
Sets requirements for sunglasses intended for normal wear and driving, including optical performance, classification and user information.
