CAPTIVATE™ lens technology
Manages selected wavelengths to help separate colours and increase contrast.
The WX Jakl American Sniper Signature Series pairs a CAPTIVATE™ Black Mirror lens with a lightweight Matte Black/Red frame. Its 13% light transmission is intended for bright daytime conditions, while the complete eyewear system has been assessed against a defined American military fragment-impact requirement.
Product description
The CAPTIVATE™ Black Mirror lens combines a Grey base with wavelength-filtering technology for intense sunlight and general daytime use. The technology helps separate colours and increase contrast, while the Grey base keeps colours close to their natural appearance.
Anti-reflective, oleophobic and scratch-resistant coatings help manage reflections, smudges and surface wear.
Key features
Bright-light suitability
The Grey-based Black Mirror lens provides 13% light transmission for intense sunlight and general daytime use.
Defined spectral filtering
Reduces scattered short-wavelength blue light and filters UV and blue light at wavelengths up to 430 nm.
Interchangeable system
Compatible lenses can be fitted to adapt the frame to other light conditions.
Practical lens coatings
Anti-reflective, oleophobic and T-Shell™ treatments help manage reflections, smudges and surface wear.
Military fragment-impact testing
The complete eyewear system has been assessed against a defined American military requirement.
Recommended use
The WX Jakl CAPTIVATE™ Black Mirror configuration is suited to daytime driving, general outdoor activities and tactical use in intense sunlight. Its filtering technology is particularly relevant where bright conditions or atmospheric haze can make visual details more difficult to distinguish.
Fit & comfort
Designed to adjust, built to stay secure
The frame is made from Triloid™ Nylon, a lightweight, durable non-metal material. Its low weight supports comfortable wear, while the material contributes to the frame strength required for rigorous safety testing. This configuration has a two-tone Matte Black/Red finish.

Lens details
CAPTIVATE™ Black Mirror
13% light transmissionThe lens uses a Grey base to keep colours close to their natural appearance. CAPTIVATE™ technology manages selected wavelengths by separating overlapping blue, green and red light, helping colours appear more distinct and increasing contrast. The technology also reduces scattered short-wavelength blue light that can contribute to haze. The lens filters UV and blue light at wavelengths up to 430 nm and provides 100% UVA and UVB protection.
The lens is made from Selenite™ polycarbonate, providing the strength and durability needed for demanding optical safety testing.
T-Shell™: Provides scratch resistance to help limit 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.
