The Wiley X Founder is built for people who want real eye protection without looking like they're wearing safety goggles. Named to honor the company's founder, this square wraparound frame carries a matte black Triloid nylon build with rubberized nose pads and temples that stay put when you're sweating, moving, or dealing with recoil. The CAPTIVATE Polarized Black Mirror lenses are the real story here, and they carry the ANSI Z87.1+ rating that means they've been through high mass and high velocity impact testing, not just marketing talk.
CAPTIVATE is Wiley X's proprietary lens tech, and it works by filtering out the confusing overlap where blue meets green and green meets red in the light spectrum. The result is cleaner color separation, sharper contrast, and better depth perception. The black mirror finish sits on a grey base, so you get true-to-life color that handles bright, steady sun without washing everything out. Add the polarized filter and glare off water, roads, and hoods pretty much disappears. These lenses also block harmful HEV blue light and offer full 100% UVA/UVB protection.
This is a medium wrap on a 6-base curve, sized for medium to large heads with a 56mm lens width, 17mm bridge, and 134mm temples. The Selenite polycarbonate lenses are shatterproof and treated with Wiley X's T-Shell scratch-resistant coating plus an anti-reflective and oleophobic layer that shrugs off water, dust, and fingerprints. Cleaning is quick and the coating holds up to real handling.
The removable side shields are what push this pair beyond everyday sunglasses. Snap them on for range days, dusty trails, or work that throws debris around, and pull them off when you just want a sharp pair of shades for driving or fishing. It's a genuine crossover piece that covers protection and style in one frame, which is why it stays a go-to for folks who need one pair to do a lot.
Yes. The Founder meets the ANSI Z87.1+ standard, which covers both high mass and high velocity impact testing, along with the European EN.166F rating. The Selenite polycarbonate lenses are shatterproof, making this a solid choice for the range, work, or any situation where debris is a concern.
CAPTIVATE filters out the muddy overlap between color wavelengths, so you see sharper contrast, cleaner color separation, and better depth perception on top of standard glare reduction. The black mirror sits on a grey base, which keeps colors true-to-life and works best in bright, steady sunlight. It also blocks harmful HEV blue light along with full UV protection.
Absolutely. The clear side shields snap on and off, so you can run the full protective setup for range days and dusty environments, then pull them off for a cleaner look when you're driving or just wearing them around town. That flexibility is a big part of why the Founder works as an everyday pair too.
The Founder is built as a medium wrap on a 6-base curve and is sized for medium to large heads. Key measurements are a 56mm lens width, 17mm bridge, and 134mm temples. The rubberized nose pads and temple grips help it stay put during active use.
