Anything ANSI Z87+, sometimes written Z87.1+ (note the plus) rated or CSA Z94.3 rated are ensured to safely withstand a direct high energy strike.

ANSI Z87 (Z87.1) is a lesser qualification only meant for lighter duty. Use them if you can't find Z87+ or Z94.3.

I checked my local hardware stores and while Z87+ is fairly hard to find outside of places that directly supply contractors, CSA Z94.3 ratings are common under $10 but are less loudly marketed. Check the packaging carefully.

3M is a common and high quality supplier, but anything with an official rating is risking pretty severe penalties from OSHA and commercial liability, so really you should be able to trust them.
