Wiley X WX Grid Gray
The simple smoked glass Grid, non-polarized. This is the direct version of the model - and the cheapest.
Polarized or not
The Grid Captivate Polarized Grey offers the same 15% VLT with an added polarizing filter, which eliminates light reflected from flat surfaces - water, hood, glass, wet road.
If you drive, navigate, or work near reflective surfaces, polarization is worth the price difference. Otherwise, this version does the same filtering work without it.
Smoked glass, 15% VLT
Fifteen percent transmission: a daytime lens. The smoked tint absorbs the spectrum evenly, so colors are perceived at their true value.
The lens and its coating
Unbreakable Selenite polycarbonate, extruded, cut, then hot-formed. The hard coating resists scratches and fogging.
This is a real difference from the brand's Captivate solar range, which receives an oleophobic and anti-reflective treatment but no anti-fog. Here, fogging has been prioritized.
The frame
Reinforced injection-molded Triloid nylon frame and temples, anatomically shaped for prolonged wear. Lightweight and very resistant.
Rubber elements at the temple tips reduce fatigue and increase grip.
Standards declared by the manufacturer
ANSI Z87.1+ and EN 166 F, grade F for low-energy impact tested at 45 m/s.
