FAQs
Are these glasses suitable for indoor use in low light?
The smoke tint is primarily designed for bright conditions. For indoor or low-light environments, consider the clear lens variant of the Portwest Fossa Safety Glasses.
What standards do the Portwest Fossa Safety Glasses meet?
They meet EN166 (1F), EN170 (2C-1.2 Clear, or 2C-1.2 Smoke for smoke variants), EN172 (5-3.1 Smoke for smoke variants), and ANSI-ISEA Z87+ standards.
Can I replace the lenses?
The Fossa Safety Glasses feature a mono-lens design integrated into the frame, and the lenses are not designed to be user-replaceable.
How do I clean the anti-scratch coating?
Use a soft microfiber cloth and mild soap with water, or a dedicated lens cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that could compromise the coating.
What is the UV protection level?
These glasses provide 99% UV protection.
Do they come with a case?
The glasses are individually packed for vending and include a retail bag for presentation. A separate protective case is not typically included but is recommended for storage.
Are these glasses suitable for impact protection?
Yes, they are designed to protect against low-energy impacts (rated 1F under EN166) and meet ANSI Z87+ standards for impact resistance.
Troubleshooting
Glasses fog up during use
Ensure proper ventilation. While these glasses offer wrap-around coverage, fogging can occur in humid conditions or with strenuous activity. Clean lenses and ensure they are seated correctly.
Lens coating appears damaged
Inspect for deep scratches or chemical damage. If the anti-scratch coating is compromised, optical clarity will be reduced. It may be necessary to replace the glasses.
Uncomfortable fit
The glasses are designed for a universal fit. Ensure the temple arms are correctly positioned over your ears. The flexible design should conform to most head shapes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These safety glasses are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. They come with a free spectacle cord to help prevent accidental drops or loss. Simply adjust the fit by gently positioning them on your face.
Compatibility: The Fossa Safety Glasses are designed to fit most users due to their universal, wrap-around design. They are compatible with most standard hard hats and other PPE.
Care: To maintain the clarity and lifespan of your safety glasses:
- Cleaning: Clean the lenses regularly using a soft, damp cloth or a lens cleaning wipe specifically designed for eyewear. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the anti-scratch coating.
- Storage: Store the glasses in their original packaging or a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the glasses for any signs of damage, such as deep scratches, cracks, or loose temple arms. Replace if compromised.
