WX Bravo

At a glanceDesigned primarily for deep-water fishing in bright sunlight, the Wiley X Bravo combines a 15% light-transmission CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Grey lens with a Gloss Tortoise/Gloss Black full-frame design. Removable side shields provide a secondary advantage for anglers who also need an optional physical barrier beside the lenses during work-related tasks.Product description Polarized Filter 8™ reduces horizontal glare reflected from water and other shiny surfaces. CAPTIVATE™ technology increases contrast, while the neutral Grey base keeps most colours close to their natural appearance and makes green tones more distinct. The removable side shields reduce the open area beside the lenses when additional lateral coverage is useful. This makes the Bravo relevant to customers who want fishing-focused polarised sunglasses that can also be adapted for worksite tasks. Key features Fishing-focused polarisation Reduces glare reflected from the water’s surface.Bright-light lens Provides 15% light transmission for intense sunlight and other bright daytime conditions.CAPTIVATE™ colour performance Increases contrast and makes green tones more distinct while keeping most other colours close to their natural appearance.Optional side barrier Removable shields reduce the open area beside the lenses during tasks involving potential lateral exposure.UV filtration and coatings Provides 100% UVA and UVB protection with anti-reflective, oleophobic and scratch-resistant treatments.Defined impact testing The complete eyewear has been assessed against ANSI Z87.1. Recommended use The WX Bravo Polarized Grey configuration is particularly suited to deep-water fishing in intense sunlight where glare reflected from the water is common. Its removable side shields provide an additional benefit for anglers whose work-related tasks may also make a physical barrier beside the lenses useful. The lens is additionally relevant to daytime driving, outdoor sport and other bright-weather activities involving reflective surfaces. Fit & comfortDesigned to adjust, built to stay secure The full-frame design is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon. Its Gloss Tortoise/Gloss Black finish combines a patterned tortoise appearance with glossy black details. The full-frame design is made from lightweight, durable Triloid™ Nylon. Its Gloss Tortoise/Gloss Black finish combines a patterned tortoise appearance with glossy black details. The removable side shields reduce the open area beside the lenses but do not create a completely enclosed frame. Their physical barrier should not be treated as a guarantee against every lateral hazard. Tested impact performance remains limited to the complete-eyewear assessments described under Safety standards. Lens details CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Grey 15% light transmissionThe CAPTIVATE™ lens manages selected wavelengths by separating overlapping blue, green and red light. This increases contrast and helps colours and visual differences appear more distinct. The Grey base keeps most colours close to their natural appearance while making green tones more noticeable. Polarized Filter 8™ reduces horizontal light reflected from surfaces such as water, wet roads and windscreens. Around water, reducing surface glare can make observable features beneath the surface easier to distinguish where water clarity, light and viewing conditions permit. The lens filters selected blue light reflected from water. It also reduces scattered short-wavelength blue light associated with haze and filters ultraviolet and blue light at wavelengths up to 430 nm. The lens is made from strong, durable Selenite™ polycarbonate and provides 100% UVA and UVB protection. Anti-reflective coating: Reduces distracting reflections from the back surface of the polarised lens. Oleophobic coating: Helps reduce smudges and makes dirt, oil and moisture easier to remove. T-Shell™ coating: Helps resist scratches and limit surface damage, although scratch-resistant does not mean scratch-proof. Protection backed by defined testing This configuration is assessed against ANSI Z87.1, ISO 12312-1. ANSI Z87.1 Assesses the complete eyewear against defined high-velocity and high-mass impact tests. These include a fast-moving 6.35 mm steel ball and a 500 g pointed falling projectile; the frame and lenses must remain intact during testing.ISO 12312-1 Assesses sunglasses intended for normal wear and driving against defined optical, classification and user-information requirements.
