For the most coverage, the SI Ballistic M Frame 2.0 Hybrid puts a taller lens on the Strike frame. The SI Ballistic M Frame 2.0 Strike is the tactical workhorse, and the SI Industrial M Frame 2.0 takes the same shield to the bay floor. The SI Ballistic HNBL is the low-profile shield for people who want ballistic protection without a frame that announces itself, and the Det Cord carries MIL-PRF-32432 and ANSI Z87.1 in a frame with more of Oakley's street styling.

The Kato, Half Jacket 2.0 XL and M2 Frame XL sit here as the off-duty picks. They are Oakley sport frames, not ballistic or Z87-rated safety lenses, so check the rating on each listing before you count on a pair at work.

Are Oakley Standard Issue glasses Z87 rated?

The SI ballistic frames are. The M Frame 2.0 builds, Ballistic HNBL, Shocktube and Det Cord meet ANSI Z87.1, the standard OSHA references in 1910.133. The sport frames sold alongside them do not.

What does Oakley Standard Issue mean?

Standard Issue, or SI, is the line Oakley builds for military, law enforcement, fire and EMS. The ballistic frames are tested to military eyewear standards such as MIL-PRF-31013, on top of ANSI Z87.1.

Can I wear Oakley SI glasses at work?

The rated ones, yes, as long as they match the hazard your employer's assessment names. For crews buying in volume, see our corporate safety eyewear program.
