Skynet Sunglasses: Ultra Violet Z87+

It started with a simple problem. Scratched lenses. No matter the brand, scratches ruin all glasses, and it doesn't matter how careful you are - Scratches always find a way. From dust and debris to the hazards of the workbench, all the way down to the ground for your casual and always accidental face down drop. No matter what you do, the gauntlet of daily life just has to reach out and touch them once, and that's it. Your expensive lenses are scratched and your glasses are ruined.

We've developed something to change that. Created within the HWV Special Projects Division, the Skynet is a next-generation eyewear platform designed to take scratch damage head on with a replaceable protective layer Lens Protection Film (LPF) adhered to the lens, acting as a barrier against the everyday hazards. In the event of a scratch or an abrasion, just remove the film and your scratches are gone.

Replacement LPF installs easily using a jig (included with the Full Package, or available separately) and costs a fraction of full lens replacement, keeping your eyewear ready for the next thing life throws your way whether you are a hard at work, or hardly working.


The first ever complete eyewear package offered with an optically clear sacrificial outer layer

INTRODUCING LENS PROTECTION FILM (LPF™)

The Heat Wave LPF™ system is a durable, optically clear protective film applied over the lens, creating a sacrificial outer layer that is significantly more scratch-resistant than your traditional sun glass or safety lens.

LPF film absorbs abrasion, wear, and daily abuse, and when it finally reaches its limit, or you just can't stand the scratches anymore, you simply replace the film and not the lens.

Everything you need to shed scratches on the go

Redefining Durability and Protection in Eyewear

FASTER

At its core is a lens developed from the ground up using advanced manufacturing techniques, allowing for zero horizontal obstructions, improved strength, and a lighter overall system. A molded structural ridge adds rigidity without compromising the clean silhouette.

SMARTER

The design of the Skynet pushes toward a true nothing-but-lens look. Skynet eliminates the traditional frame across the front entirely, integrating structure directly into the lens for added rigidity and reduced weight.

BUILT FOR USE

Only what’s necessary remains—integrated lateral protection fused directly into the lens edge to meet Z87+ standards, paired with our Performance Series arms for the lightest system we’ve released to date at just 1.2 ounces.



Z87+ Fixed Side Shields

Side-shields permanently affixed that meet or exceed Z87+ standards for lateral coverage

LPF PRE-INSTALLED

Each pair of Skynet comes with optically clear and durable LPF pre-installed.

Hytrel® ARM & NOSE PADS + SNAP CAM HINGES.

Rubberized Hytrel® inserts provide a comfortable, non-slip fit that you can wear seamlessly all day long.

The Skynet also features an all new cam applied to the hinge system for spring-like tension keeping arms firmly closed or open.

Fused lens

Frame ends and nose pad mount are permanently fused to the lens to reduce weight and eliminate the need for hardware giving a striking all lens look.

INFINITE VERTICAL FOV

The Skynet lens is molded using advanced manufacturing techniques that allows the removal of a traditional frame structure across the lens — delivering zero horizontal obstructions & reduced weight.

Reviews

Worth it!

"The Skynets are definitely my favorite Heatwaves I’ve purchased so far. The LPF system is great and definitely an added bonus when it comes to protection and longevity of the lenses. My only complaint is that I wish they had more lenses to choose from as far as colors like other models they offer as well as a polarized option for the available colors. Other than that a great pair of safety compliant Z87+ sunglasses that are comfortable all day on site."

— Brandon R. (4/5)

Great for riding and working eye-pro.

"Bought these for low-light/night riding. The anti-fog works great, grippy arms and nose-piece stay on the face well, fit with my MTB helmet is good. Also use these for jobsite eye protection. The LPF system is rad and was easy to apply. Knocked down one star because the lens plastic is really soft and easy to scratch if you don't clean them properly with soapy water, made the mistake of using provided microfiber bag to wipe off some caked on dirt on inside part of lens (no LPF on inner) and it left small scratches but they're still useable."

— Joseph A. (4/5)

Great glasses but I don’t recommend the photchromic version

"Don’t get dark enough in the photochromic version Other than that I really like em I ended up exchanging mine for sunglasses version They fit good not too big like some other models Wrap around the eyes good as far as safety glasses go"

— Franco C. (4/5)

The photochromic lenses function flawlessly,

"The photochromic lenses function flawlessly, however they aren't as dark as I had anticipated. The super chromatic start off as dark as the chromatic, and fade to full sunglasses. I ended up having to buy the super chromatic lenses as well as having the chromatic lenses to be able to see in darker settings as well as desert bright."

— Anthony J. (5/5)

Awesome Protection

"I love them!, fit my face perfectly and they're some of the best eye protection around."

— Enoch M. (5/5)

Great sunglasses

"Love them. I wear them all the time now even when I'm not at work."

— Anthony S. (5/5)

Awesome shades.. my 12th pair

"Awesome shades.. my 12th pair of heatwaves"

— MUHAMMAD I. (5/5)

looks good, feels good

"I love the photochromatic glasses, a little tint for inside is nice if you have sensitive eyes. and outside they darken up nicely. i like how they sit on my face and stay in place. plus i think they look cool."

— colt w. (5/5)

I wanted black ones tried

"I wanted black ones tried to get them changed just a few minutes after I ordered the silver in mistake , I talked to your AI for about five different responses and it said they the would pass it on to a sales rep and it didn’t it still sent the silver ones instead I wanted the black ones with the jig and extra covers!"

— Ronald L. (5/5)

Best Pair I’ve Bought

"These are easily one of the best pairs of sunglasses I’ve owned. The Skynets look even better in person, fit great, and are comfortable enough to wear all day without constantly adjusting them. The Silver Z87+ lenses are clear, the coverage is excellent, and they feel solid without being heavy. What really stands out is that they don’t make you choose between safety glasses and something you actually want to wear. I can use them around the shop, driving, or just out for the day and they work equally well in all three. The style is exactly what I was looking for, the fit is right, and the quality feels worth the money. Heat Wave absolutely nailed these. I’ll definitely be buying another pair."

— Joel C. (5/5)
