Deep-water glare reduction
Polarised filtration reduces reflections from the water’s surface.
The Wiley X Ultra CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Grey is intended for anglers who want reduced water-surface glare without strongly altering surrounding colours. Its 15% light-transmission lens suits intense sunlight, while the lightweight Gloss Crystal Light Grey frame provides a medium-wrap fit.
Product description
Polarized Filter 8™ reduces glare reflected from water and other shiny surfaces. The Grey-based CAPTIVATE™ lens increases contrast and makes green tones more distinct while keeping most colours relatively natural.
The Base Curve 6 frame provides a less enveloping alternative to high-wrap fishing eyewear. The complete eyewear has been assessed against defined American and European impact requirements.
Key features
Bright-light lens
The 15% light transmission is intended for intense sunlight and other strong daylight.
Natural-looking colour balance
The Grey base limits strong colour alteration 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 particularly relevant to deep-water fishing in intense sunlight. Daytime driving, outdoor sport and other bright-day activities involving reflective surfaces are credible secondary uses.
Fit & comfort
Designed to adjust, built to stay secure
The Base Curve 6 frame provides a medium-wrap profile for customers who prefer a less enveloping shape than a high-wrap design. It is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon.

Lens details
CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Grey
15% 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 Grey base keeps most colours relatively natural while increasing contrast and making green tones appear more distinct. The lenses also filter selected blue light reflected from water and selected short-wavelength blue light associated with atmospheric haze. They 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, EN.166F.
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.
EN.166F
Confirms that the complete eyewear has passed a defined low-energy impact test in which the lenses must remain in the frame and must not shatter under the specified conditions.
