Not every tan you get should come from the beach. No sand, no sunscreen, just baked-in utility and a color that blends in with your gear and your boots. Welcome to the dark side. The ULTRA Black lens has the tint (VLT) cranked down to 6%, compared to industry standards of 11% - These lenses are DARKER and legally should not be used when operating a vehicle. On the other hand, these are the ultimate bright outdoor lens. Whether you are on the snow, sand, a white rooftop or just want the ultimate poolside shark lurking lens these are for you. Boasting the same great features as the standard Vise®, The XL version is the first pair of (you guessed it) EXTRA-LARGE Heat Wave frames specifically designed for the ones with larger than average heads. We took the time-tested design of the Vise® and added an extra 10mm in width and jacked up the ride height to 5mm to provide Godzilla-like, larger than life comfort and coverage.
