Fishing-focused polarisation
Reduces glare reflected from the water’s surface in bright daytime conditions.
The Wiley X Sierra CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Green Mirror combines a 12% light-transmission fishing lens with a lightweight Matte Graphite, medium-wrap frame. Polarised filtration reduces glare reflected from the water, while the Copper lens base increases the distinction of green, orange and blue tones. Built-in ventilation helps manage condensation, and the complete eyewear has been assessed against defined ANSI impact requirements.
Product description
Polarized Filter 8™ reduces horizontally reflected glare from water and other shiny surfaces. For anglers, reducing surface reflections may make observable features beneath the water easier to distinguish where water clarity, available light and viewing conditions allow.
The Copper-based CAPTIVATE™ lens increases contrast and helps green, orange and blue tones appear more distinct. Its 12% light transmission suits bright daytime conditions, including periods of light cloud cover.
Built-in top-corner ventilation vents increase airflow behind the lenses to help manage condensation. A Base Curve 6 profile gives the Sierra a medium-wrap shape for customers who prefer a less enveloping fit than a high-wrap frame.
Key features
Copper-based colour performance
Increases contrast and helps green, orange and blue tones appear more distinct.
Bright-day lens
The 12% light transmission suits bright conditions, including periods of light cloud cover.
Built-in ventilation
Top-corner vents increase airflow behind the lenses to help manage condensation.
Medium-wrap frame
The Base Curve 6 profile provides a less enveloping shape than a high-wrap design.
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 Sierra configuration is particularly relevant to fishing in bright daytime conditions. Polarisation reduces water-surface glare, while the Copper lens base supports contrast and stronger distinction between green, orange and blue tones.
Daytime driving and other outdoor activities involving reflective surfaces are credible secondary uses. The 12% light transmission is intended for bright daylight rather than reduced-light conditions, while the built-in ventilation adds value where heat, humidity or temperature changes may contribute to condensation.
Fit & comfort
Designed to adjust, built to stay secure
The Base Curve 6 frame provides a medium-wrap profile. Built-in top-corner ventilation vents increase airflow behind the lenses, helping manage condensation when conditions allow. Ventilation does not guarantee fog-free performance.

The frame is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon. Its Matte Graphite finish provides a subdued, non-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, this can reduce interference from surface reflections and 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, ISO 12312-1.
ANSI Z87.1
Assesses the complete eyewear, in its defined tested configuration, against 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.
