Wiley X WX Grid Polarized Grey

A green frame, which is rare in this range. The Grid steps away from black and camouflage for a solid green – and retains the brand's three most demanding benchmarks.

Stated standards

ANSI Z87.1+ - the American eye protection standard, the "+" indicating high-velocity impact resistance.
EN 166 F - the European standard, grade F for low-energy impact.

Wiley X does not claim military specifications for the Grid, unlike the Gravity and Omega in the range.

The removable Facial Cavity Seal

The facial cavity blocks peripheral light, pollutants and solid particles that would pass under the lenses. This is what seals the perimeter and distinguishes protective eyewear from sunglasses.

Smoked lens, VLT 15%

Fifteen percent transmission, for high brightness. The smoked tint absorbs the spectrum uniformly: colors remain faithful and reflections are cancelled out.

What Captivate technology brings

Captivate lenses are polarized, but Wiley X doesn't stop there: the brand claims bolder colors and sharper details, in addition to the glare reduction inherent in polarization.

Polarization eliminates light reflected by flat surfaces – water, car hoods, windows, wet roads – without darkening the rest of the scene. A simply tinted lens, on the other hand, darkens both the reflection and the target in the same proportions.

HEV protection, in addition to UV

Beyond 100% UVA and UVB, these lenses also filter HEV light – the high-energy blue-violet band, located just after ultraviolet in the visible spectrum.

This is a protection that most ballistic eyewear does not claim, and it concerns the part of the spectrum to which we are exposed all day, not just in direct sunlight.

The lens and its coating

Unbreakable Selenite polycarbonate, extruded, cut and then hot-formed. The hard T-Shell coating is anti-scratch, anti-reflective and oleophobic.

This last property is rarely mentioned and yet very concrete: an oleophobic surface repels greasy substances. Fingerprints and sunscreen wipe off instead of smudging – which changes everything on a lens you handle with dirty hands.

The frame

Reinforced frame and temples injection-molded from Triloid nylon, anatomically shaped for prolonged wear. The material makes them both lightweight and very durable.

Rubber elements at the temple tips reduce fatigue and increase grip.

Frame and contents

Color Green. Delivered with a black zippered case, a cleaning cloth and a strap to clip onto the temple tips.
