Wiley X FOUNDER Captivate Tungsten Mirror

The Wiley X FOUNDER with Captivate™ Tungsten Mirror lenses is a bold, modern tribute to the company’s pioneering heritage in protective eyewear. Combining a classic, squared-off silhouette with state-of-the-art optical technology, the FOUNDER is designed for those who want maximum style without compromising on ballistic-grade safety.

🕶️ Lens Technology: Captivate™ Tungsten Mirror

The Tungsten Mirror lenses are engineered for those who want a warmer, high-contrast viewing experience.

• Contrast Enhancement: These lenses filter out the "hazy" blue light that causes visual noise. By doing so, they drastically increase depth perception and sharpen the contrast of landscapes and objects.

• Warm Color Profile: The Tungsten tint provides a warm, soothing view, making it ideal for variable light conditions and environments with lots of green or brown (like hiking trails or golf courses).

• Glare Reduction: Advanced polarization eliminates reflections from flat surfaces, ensuring a crisp, glare-free field of vision even in intense sunlight.

• Light Transmission: Approximately 14%–15%, providing a perfect balance for bright sun and slightly overcast conditions.

🛡️ Tactical Strength & Safety

Despite its lifestyle-forward appearance, the FOUNDER is built to the same rigorous standards as tactical gear:

• ANSI Z87.1+ Certified: Meets high-velocity and high-mass impact standards, offering peace of mind against flying debris and physical impact.

• Shatterproof Selenite™: Lenses are crafted from high-grade polycarbonate, ensuring they will not shatter upon impact.

• Side Shield Compatible: Many FOUNDER models include removable side shields, providing extra peripheral protection against wind, dust, and side impacts.

• T-Shell™ Coating: A proprietary hard coat that resists scratching and maintains the integrity of the Tungsten mirror finish.

🛠️ Premium Build & Design

• Triloid™ Nylon Frame: The frame is made from an incredibly tough, lightweight material that can withstand high temperatures and physical stress while remaining flexible.

• Large Silhouette: The FOUNDER features a larger frame profile that provides excellent coverage and a modern, authoritative look.

• 6-Base Curve: While slightly flatter than the high-wrap "8-base" models, it still offers a secure, ergonomic fit that accommodates a wide variety of face shapes.

• RX Ready: This frame can be customized with high-quality prescription safety lenses.
