Heat Wave Quatro: Original and Performance Frames
Heat Wave Quatro sunglasses come in two families. The original Quatro Z87 includes Galaxy Blue, Silver, and Sunblast lenses, along with Customs editions like Rusty Butcher, Stars and Stripes USA, and Chevy Trucks by Chevrolet. Performance Quatro models carry Z87+ marking and add the widest set of Quatro lenses: Super Photochromic, anti-fog clear, Piff, SOCOM, Spectrum, Ultra Violet, Aqua Frost, and Coastal on a Vapor Frost frame. Matching Performance side shields come in matte black, smoke, and clear.

Heat Wave Quatro FAQ
What is the difference between Quatro and Performance Quatro?
Performance Quatro titles list a Z87+ marking and pair with the Performance Quatro side shields. Original Quatro titles list Z87. Performance also carries more lens options, including Super Photochromic and anti-fog clear.
Which Quatro lens works best on the water?
Look at the Coastal lens on the Vapor Frost frame or the Aqua Frost version. Both are built for bright, reflective light. For mixed sun and shade, the Super Photochromic lens adjusts as light changes.
