Full details
The Portwest PW39 Wrap Around Safety Glasses are designed for professionals requiring high optical quality and comprehensive eye protection in a lightweight package. Their primary benefit is unobstructed vision combined with a secure, comfortable fit for extended wear. A minor consideration is the scratch-resistant coating, which requires careful cleaning to maintain its effectiveness. Key features include a wrap-around design, single panoramic lens, excellent side protection, and integrated UV protection.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these glasses suitable for prolonged wear?
Yes, the lightweight design and soft nose bridge are specifically engineered for comfort during extended use.
What type of protection do the lenses offer?
The lenses offer protection against low-energy impacts (FT rating), general UV radiation (EN 170), and sunglare for industrial use (EN 172).
How should I clean the anti-scratch coating without damaging it?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, paper towels, or solvents, as these can compromise the coating's effectiveness and durability.
Can I wear these over my prescription glasses?
The product description does not specify if these are designed as over-the-glasses (OTG) eyewear. They are intended for direct wear.
What do the CE and UKCA markings signify?
These markings indicate that the product conforms to the health, safety, and environmental protection standards required for products sold within the European Economic Area (CE) and Great Britain (UKCA).
Are these glasses suitable for protection against chemicals?
These glasses are primarily designed for impact and UV protection. They do not provide specific protection against chemical splashes or vapors.
What materials are the glasses made from?
The glasses are constructed from Polycarbonate.
Troubleshooting
Glasses fog up during use.
Ensure proper ventilation by slightly adjusting the fit. In very humid conditions, consider a lens anti-fog treatment designed for safety glasses. Clean the lenses; debris can sometimes exacerbate fogging.
The anti-scratch coating appears damaged.
Inspect the coating closely. If scratched, the clarity may be compromised. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Persistent scratches may require replacement of the glasses.
Glasses feel uncomfortable or slip down.
Adjust the position of the soft nose bridge. Ensure the dual-material side arms are positioned correctly on the ears. If the issue persists, the glasses may not be the optimal fit for your facial structure.
Reduced visibility.
Clean the lenses thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth. Check for any damage to the anti-scratch coating or the lens material itself. Ensure there are no obstructions from side arms or the frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Portwest PW39 glasses are ready for use straight out of the packaging. They require no assembly. Ensure they are clean before the first use.
Compatibility:
These glasses are designed to be worn by most individuals and are compatible with many other forms of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as hard hats and ear defenders, though fit may vary. They meet EN 166 1 FT, EN 170 2C-1.2, and EN 172 5-3.1 standards, indicating compatibility with specified impact and optical requirements. They are also AS/NZS 1337.1 compliant.
Care:
To maintain the integrity of the anti-scratch coating and optical clarity, clean the lenses with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the coating and the polycarbonate material. Store the glasses in a clean, dry place, preferably in their retail bag or a protective case, to prevent scratches when not in use. Ensure the glasses are cleaned regularly, especially after exposure to dust or debris.
