Description

The Wiley X FOUNDER in Matte Black/Tan with Captivate™ Tungsten Mirror lenses is a bold, high-performance tribute to the brand’s origins. This model is designed for those who demand a "statement" silhouette without sacrificing the extreme impact protection required for tactical missions or outdoor adventures. The dual-tone frame offers a modern, rugged aesthetic that bridges the gap between professional duty and everyday wear.


🕶️ Lens Technology: Captivate™ Tungsten Mirror

The Tungsten Mirror lenses are engineered to provide a high-contrast, color-enhanced viewing experience that reduces eye strain in bright conditions.

  • Balanced Light Spectrum: Captivate™ technology filters out "hazy" blue light to sharpen detail and equalize the visible spectrum, making the world appear more vivid and defined.

  • Warm Contrast: These lenses maintain color neutrality while subtly enhancing green and yellow hues—perfect for hiking, driving, and variable light environments.

  • Glare Reduction: The mirrored surface reflects harsh light away from the eye, providing comfort during long periods of exposure to direct sun.

  • Visual Specs: * Light Transmission: Approx. 14%–17%

    • Protection: 100% UVA/UVB defense.


🛡️ Tactical Safety & Hybrid Protection

Though styled as a lifestyle frame, the FOUNDER is built to rigorous industrial and military standards:

  • ANSI Z87.1+ & EN.166F Certified: Tested to withstand high-velocity and high-mass impacts—from flying debris to ricochets.

  • Removable Side Shields: Included rotating side shields provide additional peripheral protection against dust and side-angle hazards. They can be removed for a clean, casual look.

  • Shatterproof Selenite™: Lenses are crafted from premium polycarbonate to ensure they remain intact under extreme physical stress.

  • Oleophobic Coating: Repels water, oil, dust, and snow, keeping the lenses clear and making them exceptionally easy to clean.


🛠️ Build & Ergonomics

  • Dual-Tone Triloid™ Nylon Frame: The Matte Black and Tan frame is constructed from the toughest non-metal material available, offering heat resistance and lightweight durability.

  • Non-Slip Grip: Features dual-injected rubberized temples and nose pads that ensure the glasses stay securely in place, even during high-exertion activities or in humid weather.

  • Headset Compatible: The frame geometry is designed to fit comfortably with ear protection or communication headsets.

  • RX Ready: This frame is fully compatible with prescription safety lenses, accommodating a wide range of corrective needs.
