WILEY X Founder CAPTIVATE Tungsten Mirror Gray / Matte Black Tan Frame Polarized Sunglasses

Wiley X Founder: high-performance polarized fishing sunglasses

Wiley X Founder are premium sunglasses that combine enhanced eye protection, comfort, and optical performance. Fitted with CAPTIVATE Polarized Tungsten Mirror lenses, they improve contrast and color perception while effectively reducing glare from the water’s surface.

Particularly well suited to fishing, they help anglers see submerged structures, changes in depth, and fish movements more clearly. Their durable frame and removable side shields also provide valuable protection during outdoor activities.

CAPTIVATE Polarized Tungsten Mirror lenses for clearer vision on the water

Wiley X Founder sunglasses feature CAPTIVATE optical technology, developed to improve color perception, enhance contrast, and deliver excellent visual clarity.

The Filter 8 polarizing filter reduces distracting glare caused by sunlight reflecting off the water. This technology makes it easier to assess fishing spots and see features below the surface.

Tungsten Mirror lenses perform particularly well in bright sunlight, but also when the sky becomes slightly cloudy.

With 14% light transmission, they provide excellent visual comfort on sunny days.

Enhanced eye protection against impacts

Wiley X Founder sunglasses feature Selenite polycarbonate lenses designed for high impact resistance.

They meet ANSI Z87.1+ and EN.166F protection standards, providing a level of safety suited to activities that require enhanced eye protection.

The included removable side shields provide additional eye coverage and limit exposure to splashes and impacts from the side.

This design is an advantage for anglers using lures fitted with hooks, particularly when casting and handling gear.

Lens treatments for greater durability

The lenses of Wiley X Founder sunglasses have several treatments designed to improve comfort and longevity.

• Anti-reflective treatment to limit unwanted reflections and improve visual comfort.
• Oleophobic treatment to reduce oily smudges and make cleaning easier.
• T-Shell treatment to improve lens scratch resistance.
• Full UV protection, filtering 100% of UVA and UVB rays.

These technologies help maintain clear, comfortable vision during regular outdoor use.

A durable, comfortable frame for long sessions

The Wiley X Founder frame is made from Triloid nylon, a material that combines light weight, strength, and durability.

Rubberized temples and nose pads provide a secure fit and reduce slipping, particularly when moving around or making repeated movements.

Their slightly wraparound shape offers a good balance of protection, comfort, and field of view.

Designed for medium to large faces, they suit both long fishing sessions and everyday activities.

Versatile sunglasses for fishing and outdoor activities

With their combination of optical technologies and enhanced protection, Wiley X Founder sunglasses are particularly appealing to anglers seeking excellent visibility on the water.

They are suitable for saltwater sea bass fishing, freshwater predatory fish fishing, and other techniques that require a clear view of the surroundings.

Their versatile design also makes them suitable for hiking, cycling, and everyday activities.
