Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these spectacles suitable for impact protection?

Yes, these spectacles are CE certified to EN 166 (1 FT) and ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 (+), offering protection against low-energy impacts and flying particles.

Can I wear these with prescription glasses?

These spectacles are designed as a standalone safety eyewear solution and may not fit comfortably over most prescription glasses. For combined protection, consider over-the-glass safety spectacles.

How do I clean the lenses without damaging them?

Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can compromise the anti-scratch coating.

What does 'dielectric' mean in this context?

Dielectric means the material does not conduct electricity. This is an important safety feature for environments where electrical hazards may be present.

What is the difference between the smoke and clear lens versions?

The smoke lens version is designed to reduce glare and is suitable for bright light conditions. The clear lens version offers maximum light transmission and is ideal for general use and low-light environments.

How long does the UV protection last?

The 99% UV protection is an inherent property of the lens material and does not degrade over time with normal use and care.

Are these spectacles individually packed?

Yes, they come individually packed, which aids in retail presentation and ensures they are protected before use.

Troubleshooting

Spectacles fog up frequently

Ensure the side vents are clear of debris. Clean the lenses as per care instructions. For persistent fogging, consider using an anti-fog solution specifically designed for safety glasses.

Fit is too loose or too tight

While the arms are flexible, the one-size-fits-all design may not be perfect for every user. Try gently adjusting the bend of the arms for a more personalized fit. If significant discomfort persists, consider alternative models.

Lenses are scratched

The anti-scratch coating provides durability, but severe impacts or improper cleaning can still cause scratches. Clean the lenses carefully. If scratches impair vision, the spectacles should be replaced.

Reduced visibility in low light

This is characteristic of smoke-tinted lenses. For environments with poor lighting, consider switching to the clear lens version of the Portwest Tech Look Safety Spectacles.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the lenses with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the anti-scratch coating.
  2. Storage: Store the spectacles in a clean, dry place, preferably in a protective case or the provided retail bag when not in use to prevent scratches.
  3. Inspection: Regularly inspect the spectacles for any signs of damage, such as cracks or loose arms, and replace if compromised.
