Skynet Sunglasses: Sunblast Z87+

It started with a simple problem. Scratched lenses. No matter the brand, scratches ruin all glasses, and it doesn't matter how careful you are - Scratches always find a way. From dust and debris to the hazards of the workbench, all the way down to the ground for your casual and always accidental face down drop. No matter what you do, the gauntlet of daily life just has to reach out and touch them once, and that's it. Your expensive lenses are scratched and your glasses are ruined.

We've developed something to change that. Created within the HWV Special Projects Division, the Skynet is a next-generation eyewear platform designed to take scratch damage head on with a replaceable protective layer Lens Protection Film (LPF) adhered to the lens, acting as a barrier against the everyday hazards. In the event of a scratch or an abrasion, just remove the film and your scratches are gone.

Replacement LPF installs easily using a jig (included with the Full Package, or available separately) and not only costs a fraction of lens replacement, it allows you to get your glasses back in action in minutes and ready for the next thing life throws your way whether you are a hard at work, or hardly working.

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 Skynet is boldly marked Z87+ on the frame, arm and lens.

The design of the Skynet pushes toward a true nothing-but-lens look. Building on the vision first introduced with the Lazer Face, Skynet eliminates the traditional frame across the front entirely, integrating structure directly into the lens for added rigidity and reduced weight. Even the nose piece is mounted behind the lens and permanently fused, keeping the front profile completely unobstructed.

At its core is a lens developed from the ground up using advanced manufacturing techniques, allowing for zero horizontal obstructions, improved strength, and a lighter overall system. A molded structural ridge adds rigidity without compromising the clean silhouette.

Only what’s necessary remains—integrated lateral protection fused directly into the lens edge to meet Z87+ standards, paired with our Performance Series arms for the lightest system we’ve released to date. 

Faster. Smarter. Built for use.
