Deep-water glare reduction
Polarised filtration reduces reflections from the water’s surface in intense sunlight.
For deep-water fishing in intense sunlight, the Wiley X Ovation CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Blue Mirror combines reduced water-surface glare with an 11% light-transmission lens. Its Grey base keeps most colours relatively natural while making green tones more distinct, and the lightweight Gloss Crystal Dark Grey frame provides a medium-wrap fit.
Product description
Polarized Filter 8™ reduces glare reflected from the water and other shiny surfaces. CAPTIVATE™ technology manages selected wavelengths to increase contrast, while the Blue Mirror lens filters selected blue light reflected from water.
The Base Curve 6 frame provides a less enveloping profile than high-wrap fishing eyewear. The complete eyewear has also been assessed against defined ANSI impact requirements.
Key features
Strong-light lens
The 11% light transmission limits visible light in bright daytime conditions.
Grey-based colour performance
Keeps most colours relatively natural while making green tones more distinct.
Medium-wrap fit
The Base Curve 6 profile provides a less enveloping shape than a high-wrap frame.
Lightweight construction
The durable Triloid™ Nylon frame keeps overall frame weight low.
UV filtration and lens coatings
The lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection and include anti-reflective, oleophobic and scratch-resistant treatments.
Recommended use
This configuration is primarily intended for deep-water fishing in intense sunlight. Daytime driving and other bright outdoor activities involving reflective surfaces are relevant secondary uses.
Fit & comfort
Designed to adjust, built to stay secure
The Base Curve 6 frame provides a medium-wrap profile for anglers and other outdoor users who prefer a less enveloping shape than a high-wrap design. It is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon.

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, 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.
ISO 12312-1
Sets requirements for sunglasses intended for normal wear and driving, including optical performance, classification and user information.
