Key features & benefits

1. Captivate
Captivate™ is a special lens technology that filters harsh light while boosting colour, contrast, and clarity, so everything you see looks sharper and more defined.
2. 100% UVA/UVB Protection
These lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays from the sun, helping protect your eyes from infections and long-term damage.
3. Anti-Reflective Coating
An anti-reflective coating cuts down the glare bouncing off the lenses into your eyes, giving you clearer, more comfortable vision and helping the polarised filter work at its best.
4. Oleophobic Coating
An oleophobic coating makes the lens surface smoother so it repels oil, dirt, dust, and water, helping prevent smudges and spots and making your lenses easier to keep clean.
5. T-Shell Scratch Resistant Coating
Wiley X’s T-Shell™ coating makes the lenses more resistant to everyday scratches and scuffs, so your eyewear stays clearer and lasts longer.
6. Shatterproof Selenite Polycarbonate Lenses
Shatterproof Selenite™ polycarbonate lenses are extremely tough, impact-resistant lenses that help protect your eyes from flying debris and meet strict safety standards for durability and safety.
7. Triloid Nylon Frame
Triloid™ nylon frames feel light like plastic but are much tougher, giving you strong, long-lasting eyewear that can handle heavy use and demanding safety conditions.
8. Light Weight
A light-weight frame sits comfortably on your face without feeling bulky, so you can wear your glasses all day with less pressure and fatigue.
