Vector Sunglasses: Black Z87+

The Vector - A visual machine like no other: Powerful, versatile, unstoppable – The Vector is engineered by Heat Wave Visual for ultra-dynamic performance in a Z87+ complete package.

The Vector offers Heat Wave’s renown aesthetics and features an all new Hytrel® nose piece and unique frame design that is not only the lightest HWV frame to date at only 1.3 OZ., but is the most flexible allowing for superior adaptability and comfort. The end result is cutting edge eye-wear that blends both form and function without sacrificing either for the other.

The Vector is also available in XL

Meets Z87+ Requirements

Each pair meets or exceeds Z87+ Standards right out the box.

Our lens is injection molded from thick 1.9mm shatter-resistant polycarbonate that is built to withstand Z87 Mass Impact Standards.

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

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

Disclaimer: Removing arms, and or changing configuration in any way voids Z87 compliance.

Get a GRIP with HYTREL® touch points

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 dual injected 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.

Tool Free swappable lens

The Vector uses a replaceable (tool free) shatter resistant mass-impact rated 2mm thick cylindrical shield lens, that is visually broken in two with a louvered nose bridge that locks the lens in place. The rest of the frame is obscured from view behind the lens, where you will find two minimal lens clips protruding through the lens that further secure the lens to the frame’s side shields.

Additional info

The Vector is unique in looks and fit – As it is designed to be our CLOSEST fitting, performance eye-wear to date, utilizing a completely redesigned Hytrel® nose piece and a forward tilting frame that enable them to sit further back on those nose, and effectively closing gaps on the cheeks. The extremely close fit on the Vector cuts penetrating light, reduces areas for debris to enter, and simultaneously pushes the side shields further back, escalating the field of view.

Light and Flexible: The minimal frame design not only makes the Vector the LIGHTEST Heat Wave frame to date at only 1.3 oz., but also enables them to have outward FLEX allowing them to be more adaptable, and comfortably fit around the head.

The Vector is also available in EXTRA-LARGE fit for larger heads.
