Performance Vise Sunglasses: BLACK Frame Photochromic Z87+

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 75%-17%

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 75% to a very chill 17% 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

Photochromic Lens VLT = 75%-17% / Cat 1-3

Review highlights

"Great style, fit, and quality!!!" — Thomas A.

Reviews

Arms Need Modifications

"the glasses are good, but I think the arms need to have what the z87 XL vises got with the curve on them. Still keep the insert side shield but add the curve to the arms, they will sell way more and would sit way better"

— Guevara F. (3/5)

Absolutely the best!

"Absolutely love these! I ride Harley’s and these are the only glasses I have found that don’t try to blow off my face when I’m turning and looking. I’m also an electrical lineman and use these at work. The changing lenses are a game changer. I can see in low light and don’t gotta go hunting other glasses when the sun decides to scortch the earth."

— michael m. (5/5)

Fantastic Eyewear

"These eye glasses really fit into my work, very comfortable and the photochromic feature really helps when working outdoors. The ease from going indoors to outdoors with theses glasses really cut down on eye strain."

— Irma C. (5/5)

The best

"I’m on my third pair and I absolutely love them. I had one pair brake on me and they replaced them. No problem. Very good customer service experience."

— Dustin M. (5/5)

There okay

"They look good but they scratch easily they also fog during intense work love the photochromic"

— oscar g. (3/5)

They're pretty good

"I like em. I bought them for riding my motorcycle, and they're fine. They don't get as light as I'd like, but there's no problem riding at night with them. They also don't get as dark as I'd like, but also not really an issue. I'd like darker and lighter, but beggars can't be choosers. The frames are a little thick and nerdy, by my lady doesn't mind. Plus, nobody is a nerd when they're riding a motorcycle. Good glasses."

— Steven S. (4/5)

My glasses are so cool

"My glasses are so cool looking. People notice the way they look good on me. Awesome deal!"

— Balbino A. (5/5)

Solid 4 stars

"I should’ve selected a darker tint. Otherwise 4 stars all day."

— Jonathan J. (4/5)

Awesome glasses

"Love these, best safety glasses i have found !!"

— Ryan S. (5/5)

Comfortable as F**k

"Was tired of changing from sunglasses to clear safety glasses going in and out of buildings all the time. These fit the bill. As as every one mentions they do not get that dark especially when it is hot out. But they are the most comfortable pair of glasses I own. Oakley Holbrook XL were my go-to sunglasses but I reach for these way more."

— Mike (5/5)
