CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Green Mirror lenses

These lenses ensure high-performance on slightly cloudy/overcast days, as they minimize the blue light (HEV) reflected from white (lines on the road) and blue objects. Green, orange, and blue colors appear more vivid, and glare across reflective surfaces is reduced. Additionally, they improve your depth perception, so that underwater landscapes are highlighted.

Impact protection

ANSI Z87.1

ANSI Z87.1 tested means that the frame and lenses meet or exceed specific safety ratings set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), who has developed a certification system for safety eyewear in the US. As an American brand, we test our eyewear to pass a high velocity impact test and a high mass impact test, as dictated by ANSI.

The high velocity impact test demands that the frame and lenses must withstand the impact of a 6,35 mm steel ball fired at 164,6 km/h, while remaining intact. The high mass impact test demands that the frame and lenses must remain intact while withstanding a 500 grams pointed projectile that is dropped down on the eyewear from a height of 127 cm. 

EN.166F

tAn EN.166F test means that the frame and lens live up to a low energy impact standard. The eyewear must withstand the impact of a 6 mm steel ball at 0,86 grams, which is dropped from 1,3 meters at a speed of 162 km/h. The lens must remain in the intact frame and not shatter for it to pass. This is a huge quality stamp when it comes to our performance sunglasses and protective eyewear, as you are guaranteed the same level of protection and quality, as the soldiers of the world demand.
