Not as dark as I thought they would be.
"On the picture it looks like they go darker when you're in sunlight. But they don't go as dark as the picture when in sunlight. Other than that they are good."

Standard vs. Super Photochromic
If our standard Photochromic lenses are wizard-like, the Super Photochromic is the Archmage of lens transition. Super Photochromic lenses get way darker than before by going from a mildly tinted 40% to a darker 10% VLT. From rummaging through your toolbox or taking a direct hit of retina-roasting rays—you get the perfect level of shade.

Reviews
Best eyewear in the market
"Best eyewear in the market 100% recommended"
Texas sun has nothing on Heatwave
"These glasses are so great, I had the original and these work well even on the sunnie days. They also work very well in the early morning while working in the shop. Even going outside in the morning with the glasses you can still see very well. The size of the glasses are great as well. I would day i have a large head and they feel snug. If youre looking for a pair of glasses that you can use at any time of day for work, then look no further. Definitely worth the money."

The one tiny flaw i
"The one tiny flaw i am dealing with - the rubber ear is grabbing my hair. (Also i had clicked to do the adjustable nose add on… it didnt make it to checkout and shipping)"
Ordering another pair!
"Favorite glasses by a long shot. Wore them for 2 weeks at work and enjoyed them, unfortunately I left them on the table and they were picked up and hauled away by somebody with sticky fingers."

Q&A
- Is this Polarized? And is this the same one Ive purchased 2 years ago? It's been that long because these durable glasses have lasted me for two years
- Unfortunately no we do not make a polarized super photochromic lens. But we haven't made any change to the Future Techs and they are just as durable as before.
- On the photochromic and super photochromic glasses in the pictures there is a decal of some sort on the lenses that says they are photochromic. Does that feel off? If not is it visible when wearing the glasses?
- Yes the photochromic lenses are laser etched "photochromic' on the top corner of the left lens. It is not in your line of sight when wearing the shades.
- Can this glasses be used inside a commercial building? Or are they too dark for indoors ?
- They will be pretty dark if you are mainly using them indoors, I would suggest the normal photochromic lenses in that case.
- If they are too small for my head, can I do a refund? Or is there a measurement chart I can work with?
- Here is a link to our frame size chart where you can see and compare the different sizes of our frames side by side: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0346/5945/files/Heatwave-Specs_Chart-2025_compressed.pdf?v=1743471162
- 3 years ago, order#564353, I ordered your Future Tech Sunglasses: Ultra Black Z87+ with the 'illegal to drive' 6% vlt. Even having sat on them, they snapped back together and are still fine! Being light-sensitive, the 6% is a true wonder when driving into the sun. As a matter of fact, they're so dark I actually do need to take them off before full dark & indoors. Now you're telling me I can get almost as good (7% vlt) photochromatic lenses? So I can be real lazy and NEVER take them off?! So, the real questions: 1) Do the have a polarized option? 2) Can I just get lenses, and snap them into my existing frames, or do I need buy full set?
- We do not make a polarized option, We do not have the lens by itself yet BUT we will have them available at the end of July.
