If there’s a limit out there, Travis Pastrana doesn’t recognize it. Whether that’s landing the first double backflip, winning championships on two and four wheels, setting world-record jump distances, catching a wicked slide in NASCAR, base jumping out of hotel windows, or sending it over a jump at 150mph, Pastrana has made a career out of innovating across multiple motorsports disciplines and making the impossible, possible. It only made sense that his signature Vector carry that same energy, and make history as the first eyewear to wear a Hoonigan Gymkhana livery, taken straight from the Brataroo.

Beyond the colorway, Heat Wave has worked with Hoonigan on a handful of projects over the years, but getting the call to be part of the newest Gymkhana felt different. Gymkhana isn’t just a video series. It’s one of the most iconic, era-defining pieces of automotive culture.

It shaped us creatively, influenced our brand, and set the tone for what it means to go big, take risks, and build with attitude. Getting to put our stamp on such a project with legends as Pastrana and the Hoonigan crew is something we’ll never take lightly. Being able to stand alongside them and contribute to a Gymkhana will forever be one of those “damn, we really did that” moments.

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.

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. Lens Technology: 1.9mm thick Polycarbonate lens that meets or exceeds mass impact requirements for Z87 standards, injection molded to the highest standards and tested to ensure optimal clarity, along with color and light transmission standards.

We use only the highest quality polarizing filters on our lenses for optimal glare reduction and supreme clarity *Available in both non-polarized and polarized options* Lenses are U6:L3 UV400 - 100% UVA / UVB blocking Sunblast Lens VLT = 13% / Cat 3 Sunblast Polarized Lens VLT = 13% / Cat 3
