Wiley X CAPTIVATE™ sunglasses built for sharper vision

Wiley X CAPTIVATE™ lenses cut through flat light, distracting glare and washed-out colour. This light-filtering lens technology reduces harmful blue light while enhancing contrast, colour and clarity. The result is a more defined view when conditions demand focus.

Choose Wiley X sunglasses with CAPTIVATE™ technology for outdoor performance, everyday wear and operational environments. The collection includes polarised and non-polarised lens options, so you can choose the lens configuration that fits your activity.

From exposed trails to daily driving and demanding tactical missions, wiley x captivate eyewear gives you clearer visual definition without losing sight of what matters ahead.

CAPTIVATE™ lens technology

CAPTIVATE™ technology manages light to improve the way you see colour, contrast and detail. Harmful blue light can reduce visual comfort and make a scene appear less defined. CAPTIVATE™ lenses reduce this light while enhancing the contrast needed to read changing terrain, spot obstacles and maintain visual awareness.

These captivate sunglasses are made for time outdoors, where light constantly shifts. Bright sun, reflective surfaces and changing conditions all demand lenses that support clear vision. Polarised and non-polarised options give you a direct choice based on your needs.

Selected models feature polarised sunglasses lenses. Polarised lenses help manage reflected glare, giving you a clearer view in bright conditions. Product-level listings also include 100% UVA/UVB protection and Polarized Filter 8™ on applicable models.
