Buying Guide: What "ANSI Z87+" Actually Means
You'll see "ANSI Z87" on almost every pair of safety glasses, so the "+" matters more than it looks. The base Z87.1 standard covers basic impact resistance against small flying debris. The "+" rating means the lens has also passed a high-velocity, high-mass impact test — closer to what you'd face from grinding, chipping, or power-tool debris. If your job involves cutting, grinding, sanding, or working near machinery, look for the "+" specifically, not just "Z87."
Clear Lens vs. Tinted: Choosing the Right Lens for the Job
Clear lenses like this one are the right call for indoor work, night shifts, overcast conditions, or any job where you need true color recognition — electrical work, quality inspection, food handling. If you're outdoors in bright sun for long stretches, pair these with a gray or amber-lens option from our Eye Protection category for glare reduction, and keep this clear pair for indoor or low-light tasks.
Where These Glasses Work Best
- Construction sites and job-site walkthroughs
- Warehouse and distribution centers
- Manufacturing and assembly lines
- Maintenance and facilities work
- Chemical plants and oil & gas operations (light-impact tasks)
- Food processing facilities requiring clear, true-color vision
Care Tips That Extend Lens Life
Even a scratch-resistant coating can be worn down by the wrong cleaning routine. Rinse lenses under running water first to flush off grit and dust — wiping a dry, dirty lens is the number one cause of premature scratching. Clean with a microfiber cloth and mild soap or a lens-cleaning solution. Avoid paper towels, shop rags, and household glass cleaners, which can strip coatings over time. When you're not wearing them, store the glasses in a hard case rather than tossing them loose in a toolbox.
Complete Your PPE Kit
Eye protection works best as part of a full kit. If your job site also requires hearing protection, pair these with foam earplugs rated for your noise environment. For tasks involving fumes, dust, or particulates, add a properly fitted respirator. Browse our Hearing Protection and Respiratory Protection categories to round out your loadout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these safety glasses good for grinding and cutting?
Yes. The ANSI Z87+ rating means they've passed high-impact testing suitable for grinding, chipping, and similar high-debris tasks.
Can I wear these over prescription glasses?
The Blackjack is a standard rimless frame, not designed as an over-the-glasses (OTG) fit. If you wear prescription eyewear, check out our OTG Safety Glasses for a better fit.
Will these fog up?
The Blackjack does not include an anti-fog coating. For hot, humid, or high-exertion environments, look for our anti-fog rated safety glasses.
How do I know these are genuinely ANSI certified?
Look for the "Z87+" marking stamped directly on the temple of the glasses — this is required by the standard and confirms certification.
Do these glasses protect against UV even though the lens is clear?
Yes. The clear lens blocks 99.9% of UV rays while keeping full visible light transmission, so you get sun protection without darkened vision.
