Does anybody use ANSI Z87 eyewear (impact protection standard)?

I always wear a helmet, open face, with a visor.  I know a full face helmet generally provides better protection, but hang with me here.  It gets pretty hot in Texas.  I generally don’t lower the visor until I hit about 50mph.  I like the breeze on my face up to that point.

I usually wear my single vision sunglasses when I ride.  Yesterday it was mostly overcast and I wore my no-line bifocals (premium progressives actually).  That was a bit different in itself even if I wasn’t trying to use the reading portion of the glasses.  You get used to certain things, ya know…. Well, I caught a big-A$$ bug in the left lens.  Left a tiny hairline crack at the edge by the frame.

It got me to thinking that I should get some single vision sunglasses with ANSI Z87 lenses.  I’ve caught a few bugs in the lenses doing about 50mph with the visor up, and wapp, plap, splat!  We’ve got some big Texas-sized bugs down here!

Anybody using ANSI Z87 lenses?  They cost a little more, but I’m thinking they are probably worth it.

I agree!  I’m trying to find a retailer now.  Both of the places I usually get glasses and lenses from don’t make ANSI Z87 prescription sunglasses.  You can find the frames about anywhere; it’s the prescription sunglasses part that’s a little more elusive.

 All of my employees that wear prescription lenses must get an account through RX-Safety.  I've purchased from here:
