What is the ANSI rating for shooting glasses?

The ANSI (American National Standards Institute) rating for shooting glasses falls under the ANSI Z87.1 standard, establishing requirements for occupational and educational eye and face protection devices. Within this standard, there are different impact protection levels, including basic impact (Z87), high impact (Z87+), and high mass/high-velocity impact (Z87.1+).
Those with at least a Z87+ or Z87.1+ rating are recommended for shooting glasses, indicating high-impact protection. These ratings ensure that the glasses have been tested and meet specific criteria for withstanding the impact of projectiles or other potential hazards associated with shooting sports.
