Gear Review: Wiley X Boss

What is it?

Wiley X Boss

What sets it apart?

Providing 100 percent UVA/UVB Protection with Distortion-Free Clarity, Wiley X shatterproof Selenite Polycarbonate lenses meet ANSI High Velocity and High Mass Impact Standards, along with U.S. federal OSHA standards. These FILTER 8 polarized lenses eliminate glare on the water and other light colored surfaces to prevent diminished vision and eye fatigue, while warding off the often harsh outdoors environment with T-Shell lens coating, which resists scratching for unblemished performance.

How do I use it?

A signature Wiley X detail, the Removable Facial Cavity Seal protects eyes from fine dust, pollen, irritants as well as peripheral light. With 12-percent light transmission, the polarized Venice Gold Mirror (amber) lens is Ideal for sunny conditions and shallow water fishing. Rx ready, each pair of Boss sunglasses comes with a Leash Cord with Rubber Temple Grips, along with a T-Peg Strap. The former slips over the temple ends, while the latter snaps into the side of the temple for a more forward connection.

Angler’s insight:

Basic eye protection cannot be overlooked, as the long hours anglers spend in direct sun exposure can be brutal on the peepers. But consider the importance of comfortable polarized vision in so many aspects of this game from the spawn to spotting isolated cover. Wiley X has designed an eyewear platform that’s cozy on the face and functionally effective at helping you pick out your targets.
