XL VISE Z87 Sunglasses Black Frame: Photochromic Lens

Our best-selling XL Vise® with wizard-like tint transitioning lenses. These adaptive lenses to adjust from a clear to dark tint depending on your environment in under 30 seconds.

These Vise®s feature Variable Tint Transition Lenses with a VLT range of 75-17%

Boasting the same great features as the standard Vise®, The XL version is the first pair of (you guessed it) EXTRA-LARGE Heat Wave frames specifically designed for the ones with larger than average heads.

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 Vise® Z87: features an all TR90 construction and tightly holds form and function together, as the Vise® Z87 meets ANSI Z.87 mass-impact requirements (and Z87+ with add on side-shields) featuring 1.9mm thick lenses to aid in protection against basic impacts and flying debris, which enables the Vise® to transcend just that of a regular pair of sunglasses.

MAGNUM HEADS REJOICE

Quality Product

"Great value!!!"

— Jason S. (5/5)

Very Pleased

"I don't have the biggest head ever but it is larger than normal and these fit real nice. They don't look too big either. The side shields fit great on the arms and provide great sun and object protection. The photochromatic lenes change quickly when going from inside to outside. I only wish they got a little darker. Maybe next time I'll get the extra dark ones. Over all, very pleased."

"Great fitting glasses. First pair of photochromatic lenses and they seem to be fantastic with how they transition with the lighting. Vises are great whether I’m on site or doing day to day activities. Just pop the side shields on or off and go. Shipping was bang on and quick"

The quality of these glasses

"The quality of these glasses is truly impressive. From the moment you pick them up, you can feel how well made they are ,the materials feel premium, solid, and built to last. They’re very comfortable to wear for long periods, and the fit feels just right without being heavy. One of my favorite features is how well the lenses react in sunny conditions; they get noticeably dark and provide excellent protection, making a huge difference when you’re outdoors. Overall, I’m extremely happy with this product and would definitely recommend these glasses to anyone looking for quality, comfort, and reliable performance. 😎"
