Performance Vise Sunglasses: Easy Rider Photochromic Z87+

We’ve never had a tint range like this before. Starting with a Hi-Vis Yellow lens at 87% VLT for where you need that extra visibility, transitioning all the way down to our standard Black 12% VLT when the sun’s shining. The absolute best of both worlds for when you’re out riding or putting in overtime at the site, all while staying Z87+ rated in our Performance Vise frame. This is our best-performing Photochromic eyewear yet.

Wizard-like photochromic lenses are now available for the Performance Line. These adaptive lenses adjust from a clear to dark tint depending on the light intensity in your environment, and boast a wide VLT range at 87%-12%

The performance line is a complete evolution in product - We’ve taken our legacy Vise® frame and given it a complete overhaul, making them Z87+ out of the box, featuring new performance arms, with an integrated Quick-Latch side-shield system. In the comfort department you will find rubberized touch points throughout the frame also ensuring that the frames stay in place on your face. The cherry on top of the performance line is a lens matched side shield melds form and function together for a look that is flat out stunning and is entirely unique to the performance line.

Performance line features include 2mm thick lenses that meet ANSI Z.87 mass impact requirements plus an all-new extended length arm, specifically designed for our standard frame range, with new beveled emblems. The all-new Quick-Latch side-shield system provides lateral protection from debris and unwanted side light meeting ANSI Z87+ standards with side shields installed. Rubberized Hytrel® inserts are strategically placed in the arms and, notably, now the nose bridge for a fit that is not only more comfortable, but grips and stays in place.

Meets Z87+ Requirements

Designed with dual purpose in mind. Performance + safety with unparalleled functionality. Each pair meets or exceeds Z87+ standards right out the box with side shields in place.

Our lens is injection molded from thick 2mm shatter-resistant polycarbonate that is built to withstand ANSI Z87 Mass Impact Standards.

Quick detach side-shields provide lateral protection and allow the frame to meet ANSI Z87+ requirements.

Each pair is boldly marked Z87+ on the frame, arm and lens.

Disclaimer: Side shields must be in place to satisfy Z87+ requirements. Incorrect removal or installation of parts may void Z87 compliance. It is the wearers responsibility to make a visual inspection on glasses to ensure all parts are secure and that the glasses are in good condition before each use.

Get a grip with Hytrel® touchpoints

Rubberized Hytrel® (TPC-ET thermoplastic elastomer) touchpoints on the nose & arms provide a comfortable, non-slip fit that you can wear seamlessly all day long.

Low profile arms have been designed for performance across all conditions, allowing for a better fit with headwear from hats, helmets, and hearing protection.

Hytrel® inserts provide a higher resistance to both natural and man-made chemical agents increasing durability and longevity.

Quick-Latch Side Shield system

The all-new Quick-Latch side-shield system functions just as good as it looks, and provides lateral protection from debris and unwanted side light meeting ANSI Z87+ standards when installed.

Side-shields are easily removed and installed with a slide of the integrated lever making swaps effortless and more intuitive than ever before with no wear on the frame or side shield.

Installed side shields feature a translucent base, for increased peripheral version with a unique lens matched coating.

Product Measurements

Specifications by the numbers:

Lens Technology

The variable tint range of these lenses adjusts from a very clear 87% to a very chill 12% VLT of darkness, all in under 30 seconds. So when you're inside your garage grinding off all the bubblegum welds from a sweet barn find C10, you'll have crystal clear, z87 protection. When it's time to jam outside for the 5th Home Depot run of the day, the lenses will smoothly transition from clear to grey in a matter of seconds.

While these will NOT get as dark as our standard Black lenses. We picked a transition lens to provide ideal clarity indoors and as dark as possible outdoors to maximize the wearer's utility of this eyewear.

2mm thick Polycarbonate lens that meets or exceeds mass impact requirements for Z87 standards, injection molded to the highest standards and tested to ensure optimal clarity, along with color and light transmission standards.

We use only the highest quality photochromic filters on our lenses for optimal glare reduction and supreme clarity

Lenses are U6:L3 UV400 - 100% UVA / UVB blocking

Reviews

Great photochromic safety glasses.

"Fit very well and accurate to dimensions listed on website. Photochromic lenses perform as expected. Side shields function well and are transparent to help allow more light in lower light settings. Finally the glasses look great and not like your typical clunky safety glasses."

— TIMOTEO F. (5/5)

Amazing product & Amazing Customer Service

"Great product. Looks great. The fit is good. Like sunglasses. The transition could be a bit darker, but keeping in mind that these are amber safety glasses, the tint is good. I had a small issue and HeatWave customer support responded immediately. Their customers is amazing as well."

— Eduardo T. (5/5)

Review

"Great product just wish they got darker in the sun light , I work construction and work both inside and out side primarily on top of a roof, that’s why I went with this product due to the fact that the yellow lenses help a lot specially when I’m using lasers like I said before great product just wish they got darker"

— Mark A. (3/5)

Wish they were as dark as advertised

"I love the style, I just wish they would transition faster and get as dark as they show in the pictures. You can see my eyes pretty good through them looking towards the sun. So darker would be nice, other than than I like them alot"

— Jonathan g. (3/5)

Mixed light perfect tool

"I've always enjoyed my yellow lens Supercats, especially driving in snowstorms. This lens is going to be a great option for those days where its almost sunny or the clouds are coming in and out."

— Tom B. (5/5)

Great Fit. Transition is mediocre.

"I love the glasses. They are amazing when I’m working nights. The yellow makes everything pop. They are also very comfortable. The thing I disliked is that they do not get that dark when transitioning. Nothing like the picture shows. They barely transition. Kind of a let down when I’m working days. Not sure if I just got a faulty pair or that’s the common theme."

— John G. (3/5)

Awesome glasses. No need for

"Awesome glasses. No need for keeping a set of clears and tinted. Put these on and forget about it"

— Jerry C. (5/5)

Awesome glasses

"Very nice fit these are my new favorite performance vise glasses. ( own 3 pair these, reg clear photochromic ones, and the artic ones). Currently work inside but when going outside it immediately goes dark 10/10"

— Francisco V. (5/5)

They brought the Heat with these

"Awesome pair. Second pair of the photochromic heatwaves. Always comfortable. Now I only need one pair to ride"

— Kye J. (5/5)

Good, just not what I was hoping they would be.

"I purchased these specifically for work. I am in and out of the building multiple times a day and having safety glasses that become sunglasses seemed like it would benefit me. I like the glasses. The transition period is crazy fast. Unfortunately, I have to wear a hardhat and the arms just didn't allow for a comfortable, all-day wear."

— Cameron Q. (3/5)

Q&A

Are they good for keeping wind out of your eyes when riding a motorcycle: Yes they work great for riding. I personally would go for the Future Techs or Lazer Faces. They block the wind just a little more then the Vises.
