The fastest riser: #4 frame in the program lineup within a year of release.

The flagship Z87+ frame from Heat Wave Visual. Aggressive, futuristic silhouette with 2mm polycarbonate lenses, built-in side shields, and Hytrel® rubber touch points on the nose and arms that grip and stay put through a full shift.

Available in black frame or the vapor clear frame — the transparent option — with your choice of clear, photochromic, anti-fog clear, or hi-vis yellow lens. The photochromic transitions from clear to tinted in under 30 seconds. The anti-fog clear is built for indoor shop work. The hi-vis yellow opens up low-light visibility on the floor.

Every variant meets Z87+ out of the box. The safety mark is on the frame.

ANSI Z87+ Safety (where applicable)

Our safety frame line (Heat Wave Z87, Wiley X, Smith Elite, Spy ANSI, Oakley Standard Issue, Wye/Delta) meets or exceeds ANSI Z87.1-2020 impact and optical requirements where marked Z87+ on frame and lens. Oakley Meta and other consumer-grade smart frames are not Z87-rated, check the product specs for each model.

Specs & Fit

Impact-rated polycarbonate lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection across the safety line. Look for the Z87+ mark on the frame and lens to confirm the ANSI rating. Anti-fog, polarized, and mirror options vary by model. Fit runs unisex, medium to large.

Shipping & Returns

Free shipping on every order within the US, no minimum. In-stock frames ship from Phoenix fast; a few styles are made to order and ship once they arrive to us. Returns accepted within 45 days.

Why buy here instead of the brand site? CHAOSRXOptics compares Z87+ frames across Heat Wave, Wiley X, Oakley, Smith, Spy, and Wye/Delta, then points you toward the frame, fit, and lens that actually fits the job. If a Wiley X makes more sense than the Heat Wave you came for, we will say so.

Prescription lenses are custom-made and cannot be restocked. If the prescription is wrong or the fit fails on a corporate Rx order, we remake it through the program process.

ANSI Z87.1+
High-velocity impact rated, marked on the frame and lens. The standard OSHA looks for.

Genuine Heat Wave Visual, shipped direct. Never a knockoff.
Impact rating

Z87 and Z87+ are not the same rating.

ANSI Z87.1 sets two tiers. The plus is earned in two extra tests. This is what they look like.

THIS FRAME: Z87+

This frame carries the basic impact rating. It is not rated for the high-velocity or high-mass tests. See Z87+ frames

Animations depict the ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 impact test protocol: basic drop ball, 25.4 mm steel ball from 127 cm; high velocity, 6.35 mm steel ball at 45.7 m/s (spectacles); high mass, 500 g pointed projectile from 127 cm. Badges reflect the certification each frame carries.
