The WX Contend Captivate model from the Active series is a sports-style eyewear, ideal for those looking for solid and comfortable eye protection from the sun, dust and splashes.
Features of the Wiley X Breach eyewear:
- a frame that fits well on the face
- flexible unbreakable design
- contoured temples with non-slip finish
- Selenite polycarbonate lenses
- 100% UVA and UVB protection
- blue lenses with Captivate polarization
- T-SHELL hard coating to reduce lens scratches
- oleophobic protective coating
- goggles adapted for RX insert with corrective lenses
WX Contend have a flexible unbreakable frame, resistant to damage and wear. The contoured frames and non-slip temples ensure comfort even during all-day wear, whether you're sailing, hiking in the mountains or traversing the world on a bicycle. The frame has an 8-degree facial fit, which means that the glasses largely cover the face, fit perfectly, provide a wide field of vision and better protection from light in the peripheral field of vision.
A key role in the goggles is played by the protective glass made of Selenite polycarbonate that meets the strict ANSI HVP and EN.166 protective standards. The viewfinder is protected by a hard T-Shell coating, which effectively protects against scratches and increases the life of the lens. Wiley X applies a patented oleophobic coating to all Captivate polarized lenses. It gives the lenses a perfectly smooth and slippery surface, which effectively reduces the settlement of dirt, water and grease particles.
TheWiley X Contend is a polarized eyewear for anglers, boaters and hikers who want maximum protection, a crystal clear image and a perfect fit to the face. The glasses use mirrored polarized lenses in blue color. Polarized lenses provide contrasting and clear vision, and also make our eyesight stay rested much longer. Polarized glasses reduce glare, so they are ideal for water sports, sailing and fishing. They are great for activities on sunny days, ideal for fishing in shallow water and beachcombing.
Captivate lenses effectively filter out overlapping light waves that reduce visual acuity. Thanks to polarization, the image is clear, colors are more strongly saturated and have greater contrast. Captivate technology also reduces blue light (HEV), increases red, yellow and green color saturation, and minimizes reflections on reflective surfaces such as sheets of water. Captivate lenses provide 100% UVA/UVB protection.
Application:
- Activity during sunny weather and changing light conditions
- Outdoor activities in overcast weather
- Beachcombing
- daily activity and driving
- fishing in shallow water
Strengths
ANSI HVP
Meets or exceeds (U.S.) ANSI Z87.1 standard for protection and resistance of optics to high-velocity particle impacts.
EN.166 S
Product certified and tested in accordance with the European eye protection standard EN.166 (S) This standard defines the requirements for personal eye protection equipment. Class S mechanical strength means increased resistance to impact with a 22 g steel ball at 5.1 m/s.
FILTER 8™ POLARIZED
Patented polarized lens technology blocks 100% of polarized glare, provides full UV protection, and makes the image you see clear, contrasting, and full of naturally reproduced colors.
HARD COATING
Hard outer coating protects against scratches and surface damage and extends the life of the lenses.
RX PRESCRIPTION READY
Select models of Wiley X frames allow you to fit an RX corrective inlay with glasses prescribed by your ophthalmologist, so you can properly protect your eyes and enjoy any shooting and sporting activity. Wiley X with RX inlay will provide a number of benefits:
- easy to fit and less expensive to purchase,
- a choice of 5 outer lenses with different colors to suit any lighting conditions,
- the possibility to use the glasses without an insert,
- are certified as safety glasses,
- the inserts fit different models of glasses.
OLEOPHOBIC
Wiley X applies a patented oleophobic coating to all Captivate polarized lenses. It gives the lenses a perfectly smooth and slippery surface, which effectively reduces the settlement of dirt, water and grease particles. This prevents oily streaks (lens fingering), water stains and makes oleophobic coated lenses much easier to clean than standard lenses.
ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING
Anti-reflective coating eliminates reflected light from the back of the lenses and guarantees maximum polarizing filter performance. The anti-reflective coating ensures image clarity, reduces susceptibility to eye fatigue, hardens the lens surface and increases lens durability. Anti-reflective coatings are used exclusively in polarized lenses.
Human eyes are a very delicate and complex tool. Some of the light waves are invisible to it, and some are also harmful and dangerous. Lenses with CAPTIVATE technology effectively filter out harmful bands and waves that interfere with vision. This is especially important during prolonged exposure to the sun, such as when beachcombing, fishing, etc. Thanks to polarization, the image seen through Wiley X Captivate lenses is crystal clear, colors are intensely saturated, and contrast between them is more quickly perceived. CAPTIVATE blocks harmful UV / HEV light rays, thus reducing the risk of retinal cell damage and age-related macular degeneration. It's worth remembering that spending an hour outdoors on a normal cloudy day exposes our eyes to at least 30× more blue light than spending an hour indoors sitting in front of a monitor or TV. Wiley X, with CAPTIVATE lenses, is a premium polarized eyewear that blocks "bad" blue light of up to 430 nm.
Captivate filters out the light that is responsible for blurred vision. Polarization makes the shades of red, green and blue much more intense.
Higher clarity
Blue light uses a shorter wavelength, which scatters light at higher frequencies, creating a blurred image. CAPTIVATE polarized lenses effectively filter out this harmful light spectrum, making distant objects much more visible.
We have long known that certain colors of light have a beneficial effect on a person's mood. CAPTIVATE™ polarized lenses allow you to see a wave of blue and blue-turquoise light, which has a beneficial effect on humans. The aforementioned light helps the biological clock function properly, and regulates sleep and wakefulness cycles that are important for health. Blue light also increases alertness and concentration, aids memory and generally improves mood.
You can choose among different degrees of lens brightness and select them according to your preferences and lighting.
Enhanced depth perception
CAPTIVATE™ lenses improve depth perception by eliminating blurring caused by "bad" blue light.
