Wiley X Founder Green Mirror: high-performance polarized sunglasses for fishing

The Wiley X Founder CAPTIVATE Polarized Green Mirror sunglasses are premium eyewear designed for anglers seeking excellent visual quality and enhanced eye protection. Their CAPTIVATE Green Mirror polarized lenses improve contrast perception, reduce glare on the water, and make submerged structures easier to distinguish.

Their Triloid nylon frame and removable side shields offer an excellent balance of durability, comfort, and protection. Versatile enough for both saltwater and freshwater fishing, they are especially useful when light conditions change.

CAPTIVATE Polarized Green Mirror lenses for enhanced vision on the water

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

With a copper base, the Green Mirror lenses enhance shades of green, orange, and blue in particular. This technology makes it easier to read your surroundings and improves your perception of contours and depth.

The Filter 8 polarizing filter effectively reduces sunlight glare on the water, making it easier to see fish, the bottom, and submerged obstacles.

With 12% light transmission, these lenses are particularly well suited to sunny days and changing light conditions.

Enhanced eye protection against impacts

The Wiley X Founder sunglasses feature Selenite polycarbonate lenses, known for their excellent impact resistance.

They meet the ANSI Z87.1+ and EN.166F protection standards, providing eye protection suited to demanding activities.

The included removable side shields provide additional eye coverage and help reduce risks from flying debris or side impacts.

This design is a valuable advantage for anglers, particularly when casting, handling lures, and moving around rocky areas.

Optical coatings for lasting comfort

The Wiley X Founder Green Mirror lenses have several technical coatings designed to improve comfort and durability.

• Anti-reflective coating helps reduce distracting reflections and improve visual clarity.
• Oleophobic coating reduces the buildup of oily marks and makes cleaning easier.
• T-Shell coating improves the lenses’ scratch resistance.
• Full UV protection filters 100% of UVA and UVB rays.

CAPTIVATE technology also helps filter some high-energy blue light, improving visual comfort during prolonged exposure.

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.

The Matte Graphite finish, a matte graphite gray, gives them an understated, modern look that is well suited to outdoor activities.

The rubberized temples and nose pads provide a secure fit and help prevent slipping, even with repeated movement.

Their slightly wraparound shape, with a base 6 curve, provides good eye coverage while maintaining a comfortable field of view.

Ideal sunglasses for saltwater and freshwater fishing

Thanks to their polarization and ability to enhance contrast, the Wiley X Founder Green Mirror sunglasses are well suited to fishing techniques that require a clear view of the surroundings.

They are especially useful for saltwater sea bass fishing, river trout fishing, and sight-fishing for predatory fish.

Their copper-based lenses make it easier to distinguish underwater contours, changes in depth, and fish movements, especially in areas with dense vegetation.
