    Blue Jumper Help with a Z87 search

    Hey all,

    I have a patient who is a competitive shooter. He has no distance Rx. Looking for a FT Polar but it MUST be stamped Z87 for him to be able to use it in competition.

    I've got the lab that can do this work for him, but I need the frame. We don't carry a safety line anymore. He is used to having the Oakley Tactical shield style sunglass which is stampled Z87.

    Anyone know a frame line similar to this which could do a lined polar bifocal?

    Have you looked at WileyX? Another line to look at is ArmourRx.

    We use Wiley X, Leader, and Wolverine. Wiley X would be closest in style. Oakley does have two or three ballistic frames, but I think only one that is RXable.
    Have I told you today how much I hate poly?

    Liberty sport has some real nice sport type sunglasses that are z87 stamped. They are aimed originally at motorcyclists but have a magnetic detachable side shield as well.
