Deep-water fishing lens
Polarised filtration reduces glare reflected from the water’s surface in intense sunlight.
The Wiley X Jakl CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Blue Mirror combines deep-water glare reduction with an 11% light-transmission lens for intense sunlight. 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
Polarized Filter 8™ reduces glare reflected from the water, while CAPTIVATE™ technology increases contrast and helps colours and details appear more distinct. The Grey lens base keeps most colours close to their natural appearance and makes green tones more noticeable.
The lightweight Triloid™ Nylon frame is finished in Gloss Crystal Grey. This configuration includes the CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Blue Mirror lenses.
Key features
Bright-sun performance
The 11% light transmission limits the amount of visible light reaching the eyes in strong daylight.
CAPTIVATE™ colour performance
The Grey base keeps most colours relatively natural while making green tones more distinct.
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 deep-water fishing in intense sunlight. 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 Blue Mirror lenses; alternatives are obtained separately. The frame is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon, and its Gloss Crystal Grey finish provides a polished, translucent appearance.
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, 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.
