Wiley X Alfa AC6ALF08 captivate is a modern polarized eyewear for active people, outdoor enthusiasts and passionate water activities.
Wiley X Alfa polarized glasses at Kolba outdoor store in Czeladz.
The Alfa model belongs to the Active series, which is distinguished by its square frame and thin temples with adjustable length. The WX ALFA offer a classic, comfortable and timeless stylethat will accompany you during your daily conquest of the world. In addition, the glasses are equipped with functional side shields, which can be instantly attached or detached from the frame when needed. The glasses have a 6 degree of fit to the face, which means that they rather sit flat on the face and do not fully cover it.
A key role in the goggles is played by the protective glass made of Selenite polycarbonate, which meets the stringent protective standards ANSI HVP and EN.166. The viewfinder is protected by a hard T-Shell, which effectively protects against scratches and increases the life of the lens. Wiley X applies a patented oleophobic coatingto 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.
Wiley X Alpha are polarized glasses for everyday wear for people who want maximum protection, timeless style and functionality. The eyewear features mirrored polarized lenses in gray, which are ideal for activities on sunny days.
Captivate lenses effectively filter superimposed light waves that reduce visual acuity. Thanks to polarization, the image is clear, colors are more strongly saturated and have greater contrast. Captivate also reduces blue light (HEV), increases the saturation of red, yellow and green colors, and minimizes reflections on reflective surfaces such as sheets of water. Captivate lenses provide 100% UVA/UVB protection.
Application:
- Sunny weather activities
- Outdoor activities in the open air
- Sea and deep water fishing
- Daily activity and driving in strong sunlight
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 F
Product certified and tested according to the European eye protection standard EN.166 (F) This standard defines the requirements for personal eye protection. Class F mechanical strength means resistance to impact with a 0.86 g steel ball at 45 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 insert with glasses prescribed by an ophthalmologist, so you can properly protect your eyes and enjoy any shooting and sporting activity. Wiley X with RX insert will provide a number of benefits:
- easy to fit and less expensive to purchase,
- a choice of 5 outer lenses with different colors, which allows for 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.
