Performance Vise Sunglasses: FDE Fader Z87+

We gave our Performance frames a rubberized coating, an Ultra Black Lens, and an FDE fade that feels right at home next to your well-worn, rattle-canned bedside queen. We’d say they match perfectly, but that wouldn’t be very FDE of us.

Introducing 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.

Reviews

Made in Taiwan, for $100+

"I just needed a pair of sunglasses for work, the fact that these are also safety glasses is a bonus. The vibe/theme of these FDE Faders is sick. My rifle is FDE everything so I threw these in my cart as soon as I saw them. I got these to replace a pair of Oakleys, and so far I'm very happy with the fit and finish, BUT be aware these are made in Taiwan and as such should cost nowhere near $100. The listings start around $70 but by the time you choose polarized lenses and whatever else you're no longer anywhere near that. They seem like decent quality but I did just get them. I like them but they aint cheap."

— Chris D. (5/5)

Heatwave rocks!!!

"These are my fourth pair of heatwaves and I love em!!! I’ve always been a fan of white sunglasses and when I saw the drop on these I knew I had to have em!! They’re even better looking in person!! Heatwave knocks it out of the park again!!"

— Craig W. (5/5)

Update

"Matches my pew pew. After wearing them for a couple weeks now, I can highly recomend these sunglasses. I still think they're a little pricey for being non US made, but I like em."

— Chris D. (5/5)

I LOVE THEM!!

"Like always, heatwave never fails to make an amazing product! I wear these for 40+ hours a week and I have zero complaints, they fit great, and they’re very comfortable! Compared to the company provided safety glasses that give me a migraine and have to take them off every couple hours to give my head a break, These give me zero headaches!"

— Emily S. (5/5)

Safety can look good!

"My second pair of Performance Vise glasses! FDE fade looked great, didn’t hesitate and picked them up on the first promo I saw! I’m on site in a demanding environment 11+ hrs a day, comfort and function matter. I don’t buy any other brand since finding Heatwaves! Durable, safe, comfortable and functional!"

— Samuel H. (5/5)

These glasses are fantastic I

"These glasses are fantastic I love them they are light weight on my face but extremely sturdy. The side shields are awesome benefit also I wish I had two more hands to give it 4 thumbs up!!!"

— Kevin B. (5/5)

Good durability, terrible fitment.

"I’ve had the all black vice’s for over a year and they are worth the money I paid with that said as soon as I start sweating they slide down my nose and it drives me nuts. My Holbrooks don’t move at all and are the perfect shape for my head (Which isn’t small). If these didn’t slide down I would give 5 stars. I will say the durability of the lenses is far better than the lazer faces I had."

— Andrew (3/5)

Work in construction, another coworker

"Work in construction, another coworker has a pair and said they are great Eyewear. I couldn't agree more! Going to purchase the clear pair when I don't need tint but protection."

— Niyla E. (5/5)

Cycad for the Win!

"The performance arms seem a bit tighter than the non-performance vice arms. I have a non-performance pair that I have had for years. I love the frame and lens color combination."

— Dan O. (5/5)

Wasn't expecting this. . .

"Best safety glasses I've ever worn. Quality is above expectations. Comfortable on the face and sturdy in the hand. Will be buying more Heatwave spectacles for everyday life. Have already and will recommend to anyone I know/meet that needs good eyewear."

— Tim H. (5/5)
