What Are Z87 Safety Glasses: Everything You Need to Know

The Z87+ mark specifies increased protection, especially to high-velocity impacts. The necessary protection is ensured by testing these glasses against high mass/velocity standards and military ballistics impact.

The frames and the lenses are labelled CE to check their authenticity. Stylish Z87 safety glasses are available in many shapes, sizes, and materials, including plastic and metal frames with graphics. They are designed for comfort, toughness, and, more and more, fashion.

Fashionable safety glasses for regular usage are gaining popularity as they provide adequate protection without compromising appearance.

Men’s Safety Glasses Through the Ages

Today’s safety glasses are really cool-looking and come in modern frame shapes with vibrant colors and lightweight materials. Sports and Jazz inspire men's safety glasses, making them suitable for both business and social occasions. Fashion safety glasses are available from many brands.
