Performance XL VISE Sunglasses Frame: Aqua Frost Z87+

Welcome to the dark side. This dark ultra violet lens has the tint (VLT) cranked down to 6%, compared to industry standards of 11% - These lenses are DARKER and legally should not be used when operating a vehicle. On the other hand, these are the ultimate bright outdoor lens. Whether you are on the snow, sand, a white rooftop or just want the ultimate poolside shark lurking lens these are for you.

Boasting the same great features as the standard Vise®, The XL version are (you guessed it) EXTRA-LARGE Heat Wave frames.

We took the time-tested design of the Vise® and added an extra 10mm in width and jacked up the ride height to 5mm to provide Godzilla-like, larger than life comfort and coverage.

About The Performance XL Vise®: Introducing a complete evolution in product - We’ve taken our legacy XL 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.

MAGNUM HEADS REJOICE

STANDARD VS EXTRA-LARGE

The XL VISE is XTRA-LARGE and in charge. This is our best-selling XL frame and is a true XL. The VISE XL is also a great frame for those with an average to large size head, that just want a bold and roomy XL look.

As far as measurements go, the XL Vise features an added 10mm in width and 5mm height and measures in at 152mm wide for a standard XL width.

Slide the bar for yourself to see the standard size Vise frame VS. the XL on an EXTRA-LARGE head.

Reviews

Solid so far. I have

"Solid so far. I have dropped them off of the scaffolding a couple times while doing box gutters and they have really held up strong. I also had them in the wave pool."

— Brandon S. (5/5)

Awesome XL Vise Sunglasses

"I bought twice the same glasses. the second one had a soft nose cushion and it was my favorite but after the 3rd pair it doesnt come with that feature. I work outside welding and after a few months wearing theses glasses it starts to peel off and leaves my face with black particles. i understand its starts to peel off bc of sweat and sunscreen. but this didnt happened with the glasses that had Cushion on the nose bridge. but overall these are my TO GO glasses bc of the ultra black and XL frame. they work perfectly fine outside specially with welding."

Just order these

"I’ve worn a lot of safety glasses over the years, and the Heat Wave Z87s are hands down some of the best I’ve put on my face. Working in the trade, I’m wearing eye protection all day, so comfort matters just as much as safety. These glasses don’t feel like the cheap, uncomfortable safety glasses that you can’t wait to take off at the end of the shift."

— Troy W. (5/5)

Heatwave's tribute to Roy!!!

"These were the first Vise XLs that I bought. They are awesome and I love the side shields!!!! ALL sunglasses should have them! They make me look a bit like Roy Orbison, but I can dig that. . ."

— Mark S. (5/5)

Lounge yes, sweating no

"Rad glasses for lounging. However they slide off my face as soon as I start sweating causing me to either push them up often or flex my ears back to hold them up, leading to headaches. They also do not sit well on my forehead without falling. I am a Lifeguard and am in/outside often. I bought reg Vice years ago and they were too small. These fit my face well but just slide off too easy"

— Derek D. (3/5)
