The Flatiron
Description
Safety Glasses Finally Built for Real Life
Most safety glasses are built for compliance—not performance.
They’re bulky, uncomfortable, and rarely something you’d actually choose to wear outside the jobsite.
At the same time, most performance sunglasses aren’t designed for real-world abuse. They work great for workouts, trail runs, or everyday wear—but they aren’t built to protect your eyes in environments where impact protection actually matters.
The Flatiron was designed to solve that problem.
By combining ANSI Z87+ safety certification with the comfort and performance of modern athletic eyewear, the Flatiron delivers protection without sacrificing wearability.
Impact-rated lenses help shield your eyes from debris while advanced lens coatings repel sweat, water, oil, and dust to keep your vision clear throughout the day.
The lightweight performance frame stays secure during movement while remaining comfortable enough for long hours of wear.
Whether you're working, training, or moving between both, the Flatiron is built to handle it.
Work. Workout. Weekend.
One pair built for the way you actually live.
Fit Guide
The Flatiron is designed with a medium–large performance fit, similar to the fit of our Phoenix model.
The frame features a slight wraparound shape, which improves side protection while helping the sunglasses stay secure during movement. This design also reduces light entering from the sides and increases overall eye coverage in demanding environments.
The lightweight frame and balanced temple pressure make the Flatiron comfortable for all-day wear, whether you're working, training, or spending time outdoors.
Best for:
- Medium to large head sizes
- People who prefer a secure, athletic-style fit
- Users looking for increased side protection and coverage
The wraparound design helps the Flatiron stay stable during activity while maximizing eye protection, making it ideal for jobsites, workouts, and outdoor environments.

Real ANSI Z87+ Impact Protection
The Flatiron is ANSI Z87+ rated, meaning it’s tested to withstand high-velocity impacts and flying debris. Whether you’re on a jobsite, at the range, or training outdoors, your eyes are protected by gear built to handle serious environments.
Lens Clarity & Coatings
High-performance polycarbonate lenses deliver dependable clarity and impact resistance, while advanced coatings repel sweat, oil, water, and dust. The result is cleaner lenses, better visibility, and less time wiping them down when conditions get tough.
Not Your Average Safety Glasses
Most safety glasses are built for compliance, not performance—and most performance sunglasses aren’t built for impact protection. The Flatiron bridges that gap, delivering ANSI-rated safety, athletic performance, and everyday durability in one pair.
Built to Stay Put
The Flatiron’s wraparound performance frame improves coverage while helping the sunglasses stay locked in place during movement. Grip zones and a balanced fit keep them secure whether you're running, lifting, climbing, or working.
Tough Enough for Real Life
From dusty jobsites to rugged trails, the Flatiron is designed to handle abuse. Durable frames and impact-resistant lenses stand up to hard use so you can rely on them day after day.
Backed for Life
Gear built for grit should last. That’s why every pair of Flatirons is backed by our lifetime warranty.
