Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Safety Glasses - Ultra are designed for professionals needing reliable eye protection during electrical work or tasks involving particles and glare. Their key benefit is a lightweight, comfortable, and entirely metal-free design that ensures safety and extended wearability. A potential consideration is that while they offer good protection, they may not be suitable for extreme impact scenarios requiring full face shields.

FAQs
Are these glasses suitable for all types of industrial work?
The Portwest Safety Glasses - Ultra are ideal for tasks involving electrical work, glare, and moderate particle protection. For extremely high-impact or chemical splash hazards, specialized goggles or face shields may be more appropriate.
How do I adjust the side arms?
The side arms are inclinable. Gently push or pull them at the hinge point to adjust the angle until they rest comfortably and securely on your temples.
Can I wear these over my prescription glasses?
These are designed as primary eyewear and may not fit comfortably or securely over most prescription glasses. Over-prescription safety glasses are available for such needs.
What does '100% Metal Free' mean for safety?
It means no metal components are used in the construction of the glasses. This is crucial for electrical safety as it eliminates the risk of electrical conductivity.
How durable is the anti-scratch coating?
The anti-scratch coating enhances durability and resistance to minor abrasions. However, it can be compromised by harsh chemicals or heavy scratching. Proper care is essential to maintain its effectiveness.
What is the UV protection rating?
These glasses offer UV protection to help prevent eye damage from harmful ultraviolet rays. Specific EN170 standards compliance should be checked for detailed UV filtering capabilities.
How should I clean the browguard?
The browguard can be cleaned using the same method as the lenses: a soft cloth with mild soap and water, followed by rinsing and gentle drying.
Troubleshooting
Glasses feel loose or slip down the nose.
Adjust the inclinable side arms to a more secure angle. Ensure the nose bridge sits comfortably on your face.
Lenses are fogging up during use.
Ensure proper ventilation by adjusting the arms. Cleaning the lenses with an anti-fog solution or wipe may also help. Consider the ambient temperature and humidity.
Scratches appearing on the lenses.
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods or storing without protection. Clean gently with a soft cloth. The anti-scratch coating provides durability but is not indestructible.
Discomfort from pressure points on the temples.
Experiment with different angles of the inclinable side arms. Ensure the glasses are not overtightened if they feel too snug.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed to fit most adult head sizes. The wrap-around style and adjustable arms enhance compatibility. They are certified to CE standards.
Care: To maintain optical clarity and protective qualities:
- Clean lenses regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth. A mild soap and water solution can be used for tougher grime, followed by rinsing and gentle drying.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or rough cloths, as these can damage the anti-scratch coating and lens material.
- Store the glasses in a protective case or the provided retail bag when not in use to prevent scratches.
- Do not place lenses face down on surfaces.
