FAQs
Are these spectacles suitable for impact protection?
Yes, the Portwest PW13 Clear View Spectacles are CE certified and meet EN 166 (1 F) standards, indicating they provide basic impact protection against low-energy impacts.
Can I wear these over my prescription glasses?
These spectacles are designed as a standalone protective eyewear and are not typically configured as over-glasses. Their streamline design might not accommodate most prescription eyewear underneath.
What does 'CE certified' and 'UKCA marked' mean?
These markings indicate that the product meets the health, safety, and environmental protection standards required for products sold within the European Economic Area (CE) and Great Britain (UKCA).
How long does the anti-scratch and anti-fog coating last?
The lifespan of these coatings depends on usage and care. Regular cleaning with appropriate methods helps maintain their effectiveness. Significant wear or damage can reduce their performance over time.
What material are the lenses made from?
The lenses are made from Polycarbonate, a durable and impact-resistant material known for its optical clarity and protective qualities.
Can I get these in different lens colors?
The product information specifies availability in Clear and Smoke. The PW13 model is available in these two options.
Are these suitable for outdoor use in bright sunlight?
The clear version offers 99% UV protection, making them suitable for many outdoor conditions. The smoke lens variant is specifically designed for glare reduction in bright sunlight and complies with EN 172 standards.
Troubleshooting
Spectacles fog up excessively
Ensure the anti-fog coating is intact. Clean the lenses with a mild soap and water solution and rinse thoroughly. Allow to air dry or gently pat dry with a soft cloth. Avoid touching the lens surface with fingers.
Poor fit or slipping
While designed for a universal fit, try adjusting the position on your nose. Ensure there are no other headwear items causing interference. If slippage persists, consider alternative eyewear solutions.
Lenses are scratched
The anti-scratch coating offers resistance but is not impervious to damage. Minor scratches may not significantly impede vision. If scratches impair vision or protective integrity, replace the spectacles.
Reduced UV protection effectiveness
The 99% UV protection is inherent to the lens material. If the lens material appears degraded or heavily damaged, replacement is advised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Portwest PW13 Clear View Spectacles require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. It is recommended to adjust them for a snug and comfortable fit on your nose and temples before use.
Compatibility: These spectacles are designed to fit most users due to their universal design. They are compatible with other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as hard hats and ear defenders, provided the other equipment does not interfere with the spectacle's fit or seal.
Care: To maintain the protective coatings and ensure optimal visibility:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the lenses with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the anti-scratch and anti-fog coatings.
- Storage: Store the spectacles in their original packaging or a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the spectacles for any signs of damage. If the lenses are deeply scratched or the coatings are compromised, replacement is recommended for continued effective protection.
