The Ergodyne Skullerz SIXTEN is an ANSI Z87.1+ wraparound safety glass with permanent side shields built directly into the frame, giving lateral impact and particle coverage without a removable clip-on, in clear, smoke, and tan lenses — impact eye protection, not a sealed chemical-splash goggle.

Why the Skullerz SIXTEN builds side shields into the frame
Clip-on side shields satisfy the side-protection requirement on paper, but in practice they get lost, removed for comfort, or attached wrong — and a missing shield is an audit failure. The SIXTEN removes that failure mode: the side shields are structural elements of the frame, not accessories, so lateral coverage is present every time the glasses go on, at the full ANSI Z87.1+ high-impact rating. It comes in clear, smoke, and tan, and the listing states the integrated design is no heavier than standard safety glasses. As safety glasses go, this is the integrated-side-shield pick, and the best safety glasses guide and the ANSI Z87.1 guide explain the markings. It keeps side coverage that cannot be misplaced.
Safety first: the SIXTEN is impact eye protection — it is an open glass with side shields, not a sealed barrier for a chemical splash hazard. The side shields close the sides against flying particles, but they do not seal against liquid splash; for chemical splash, wear D3-rated splash goggles or a face shield over your primary eyewear. Confirm the Z87 marking and match the lens tint to the light. See the glasses vs goggles guide for the splash decision.
What the Skullerz SIXTEN listing documents
From the published specs: an ANSI Z87.1+ high-impact safety glass; integrated side shields molded as structural frame elements; a wraparound polycarbonate lens; and clear, smoke, and tan lenses. These are true integrated side shield glasses and wraparound safety glasses credentials in a z87 safety glasses frame. Confirm the specific variant on the listing.
How the Skullerz SIXTEN compares to other eye protection
For a frameless Skullerz glass, the Skullerz SAGA; for an OTG Skullerz glass, the Skullerz OSMIN; for a Magid glass with molded side shields, the Magid Y50; for a Z87+ and ballistic glass, the Pyramex Venture II; and for a sealed splash goggle, the DeWalt DPG82 Concealer. The safety glasses buyer's guide covers the range.
Choosing the right lens and eye protection
Match the coverage, lens tint, and coating to the task. Browse the eye protection and anti-fog safety glasses collections; for tint choices, the clear vs smoke guide and the amber vs clear guide; and for coatings, the anti-fog vs anti-scratch guide.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The SIXTEN suits chemical processing, machining, grinding, and fabrication where OSHA 1910.133 and side-protection compliance are required and clip-on shields keep going missing — see the construction eyewear guide and the manufacturing eyewear guide. Because the shields are part of the frame, a supervisor does not have to police whether crews kept their clip-ons attached. Confirm the variant on the listing, and retire the glasses when the lens is damaged.

Reading the Z87 marking, and what it does not cover
Protective eyewear in the US is built to ANSI/ISEA Z87.1, and OSHA 1910.133 requires eye protection that meets it. The marking on the frame is the specification, and the important distinction is a single character: Z87 is basic impact, Z87+ is high impact — tested with a quarter-inch steel ball at 150 ft/s for spectacles. If the work throws anything, Z87+ is the line.
The suffixes narrow it further: D3 is splash and droplet, D4 dust, D5 fine dust. These matter because a spectacle cannot earn D3 — droplet protection needs a sealed goggle. Safety glasses are impact protection, not chemical splash protection, however wraparound the lens looks, and substituting one for the other is a common and consequential error.
A face shield is also secondary protection under 1910.133: it is worn over primary eye protection, never instead of it. And tint is not shade — a dark lens without a stated IR/UV shade number offers no rated protection against radiant energy.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Ergodyne Skullerz SIXTEN?
An ANSI Z87.1+ wraparound safety glass with permanent side shields built directly into the frame, giving lateral impact and particle coverage without a removable clip-on, in clear, smoke, and tan lenses.
What are integrated side shields?
The side shields are structural elements of the frame, not a removable accessory - they provide permanent lateral protection that is present every time the glasses are worn, so they cannot be lost or left off.
What does Z87.1+ mean?
Z87.1+ is the high-impact rating under ANSI/ISEA Z87.1, meaning the lens passes the high-mass and high-velocity impact tests required for regulated industrial and construction eye protection, as the listing states.
Are these chemical splash goggles?
No - the SIXTEN is an open safety glass with side shields, not a sealed goggle. Side shields block side-angle particles, not liquid seal; for a chemical splash hazard, use D3-rated splash goggles or a face shield over your primary eyewear.
Why choose integrated over clip-on side shields?
Clip-on shields are often lost, removed, or improperly attached; integrated shields are part of the frame, so the lateral protection is always present and compliant without extra parts to manage.
What lens tints are available?
Clear, smoke, and tan - clear for indoor and low-light, smoke for bright sun, and tan for contrast in variable light. Confirm the tint on the listing.
Where are side shields required?
Many facilities require side protection wherever flying particles, side-angle projectiles, or splash are a hazard; the SIXTEN provides that side-protection specification in a single SKU. Confirm your facility's requirement.
Which tint should I choose?
Clear for indoor and low-light, smoke for bright sun, and tan for contrast. The lens comparison guides cover the trade-offs.
Do side shields add weight?
The listing states the integrated design is no heavier or more cumbersome than standard safety glasses, since the shields are molded into the frame rather than added as separate parts.
What sizes are available?
Confirm the fit options on the product listing; a properly fitted frame keeps the lens and side shields positioned for their rated coverage.
How do I care for them?
Clean with lens-safe wipes or mild soap and water, avoid abrasive cloths, and retire the glasses when the lens is scratched enough to impair vision, since damaged eyewear no longer protects as rated.
How do I order for a crew?
Quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account - volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations. The bulk-ordering walkthrough is linked in our site footer.

Pretty sick safeties
I’ve got the clears, browns, and blacks. They’re the best safety glasses I’ve ever used. I use them as my regular sunglasses when I’m not at work. They fit good and aren’t super dorky. You won’t be disappointed. The browns work great for low light or indoors.

Excellent Z87.1+ Protection: Fog-Free and Comfortable for Pickleball
Purchased for use in playing Pickleball after previously trying other brands/styles/versions. These don’t sit too close to my forehead (I don’t feel them pushing on my eyebrows, which can happen to me with other glasses), and they wrap around and cover the sides nicely. These do carry the higher Z87.1+ safety rating, but from what I could see, do not carry the sports rating ASTM F803, so consider that if choosing these for pickleball. Eye protection is something many people playing pickleball opt out of, but it is SO important. In an instant, you can be unexpectedly hit by a ball ricocheting off your partner's paddle or coming at you hard when you are up at the NVZ. On me (tall, female, larger head), these stay in place well and do not fog up. These feel solid, the lens and the frame feel as “one”. As one other commenter noted, these do have one issue: tiny, raised lettering/numbers at the very top of each lens. A strange location to put information, right on the lens, but I don't notice the lettering at all when wearing them, and you can hardly see them when looking at me.

Great glasses, only one problem.
I have a single issue with these glasses! They are super comfy, the hug my head without giving me a headache. The stems are super slim so they fit under or around hats. The lenses are very strong, and I've had no scratches on them despite constant use for so many months. The peripheral wings are super helpful as well.Here's my issue, and it is a small one: the manufacturer put some sort of serial/patent/batch number on the top edge of each lens in raised embossing, and they always catch my eye. It always makes me think there's sweat on the rim, even on cool days. I don't know why you would put anything in/on the lenses. It doesn't make sense.Still a fantastic pair of glasses, just put the numbers somewhere else. That's the only thing keeping me from buying a dozen of these, for whenever I inevitably misplace a pair.

Glasses are great!
Wonderful glasses - with the ANSI rating and the tinted eyes this makes for a pair of great safety glasses / sun glasses. Use them on the regular, just keep them clean and put them in your bag when not in use to not get any scratches!

Read my review sucka
Got these for my partner. He was happy with them, says they're alittle tight at the temple but nothing that bothers him. He says they're in general cool/good looking glasses and feel comfortable. I think they're worth the price!😎

Too Light of Tint, otherwise very nice
These are comfortable and seem well made. Be advised that they are a very light tint. They do not provide enough of a tint for long term outdoor use in my opinion. If you are going in and out or need to work in the shade, these could be a good fit for you. The mirrored and polarized version of these same glasses is suitably darkened.

Full coverage. lenses do not distort vision
I work commercial Air conditioning 18 yearsTried many safety glasses, cheep ones and $100 pairs.Cheeper ones usually distort vision and fog up and scratch easily.Expensive ones look cool but you misplace them or crush them just as often as cheap ones.These do not scratch easily or fog up fast.Personal opinion they look better than cheap ones.They look like a clear pair of sunglasses 😎Most important the lenses are very high quality.
