In this review we break down the Wiley X WX Founder — a square-framed pair that pulls off something most protective eyewear can't, which is looking like normal sunglasses. The trick is the removable side shields: snap them in and the lock mechanism holds them firm, meeting ANSI Z87.1+ standards for high-mass and high-velocity impact so they're legitimate job site eyewear. Pop them out and you've got a clean pair of shades for driving, fishing, or dinner. The other thing that sets the Founder apart is its Active 6 Series geometry — a flatter 6-base lens profile instead of the aggressive wrap most sport sunglasses use. That flatter curve accommodates significantly stronger prescriptions than wrap frames can handle, which matters enormously if you've been told your script won't work in performance sunglasses. Build quality is classic Wiley X: a Triloid™ nylon frame, the toughest non-metal material available, shatterproof Selenite™ polycarbonate lenses blocking 100% of UVA and UVB, dual-injected rubber temples and nose pads that hold position through sweat, and CAPTIVATE™ contrast-enhancing lens options. Backed by a lifetime warranty.
