Specification

Everyday style, serious protection

The Wiley X WX Founder pairs a clean matte black frame with genuine protective credentials. New for its release, it honours Wiley X founder Myles Freeman Sr and his mission to build the world’s best protective eyewear, blending style, comfort and real safety in one pair.

Captivate grey lenses

The non-polarised Captivate grey lenses shield your eyes from harsh sunlight while keeping colours looking natural, unlike many standard tinted lenses. By equalising the visible light spectrum they deliver true colour clarity, with greens subtly enhanced for better definition outdoors.

Certified impact protection

These are not ordinary sunglasses. The Founder meets ANSI Z87.1 for high velocity and high mass impact and blocks 100% of UVA and UVB rays, giving you certified protection for shooting, airsoft and outdoor pursuits.

Comfort and versatility

Dual-injected rubber temples and rubberised nose pads keep them planted and comfortable, while removable side shields add extra coverage when you need it. The Founder is also RX ready, so you can add prescription lenses.

Protective eyewear for the field

Rated eye protection is essential for airsoft. Browse more tactical gear at Platoon Stores.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Captivate grey lenses different?

Captivate grey lenses protect against harsh sunlight while preserving natural colour values that ordinary tinted lenses distort. They equalise the visible light spectrum for true-to-life colour, with greens slightly enhanced for extra contrast.

Are the WX Founder sunglasses actually safety rated?

Yes. They meet the ANSI Z87.1 standard for both high velocity and high mass impact, so they are certified protective eyewear, not just fashion sunglasses. They also block 100% of UVA and UVB rays.

Can I get them in my prescription?

The Founder is RX ready, meaning you can fit a prescription insert so you keep both the protection and your corrected vision. Ask Platoon Stores about prescription options.

What are the side shields for?

The removable side shields add protection against wind, debris and peripheral light for active use, and can be taken off for a cleaner everyday look.

Are they comfortable to wear all day?

Yes. Dual-injected rubber temples and rubberised nose pads grip securely without pinching, giving a stable, comfortable fit for long days on the range or outdoors.
