Full details
The Portwest PS23 Peak KN Safety Glasses are designed for professionals seeking reliable eye protection against particles, impact, and glare. Their key benefit lies in the integrated TPE browguard and adjustable features for a personalized, secure fit. A potential caveat is that while offering excellent protection, they are designed for specific safety applications and may not suit all general-purpose eyewear needs. This eyewear combines robust safety features with user comfort, including UV protection, anti-fog, and anti-scratch coatings.

FAQs
What does 'KN Certified' mean for the lens coatings?
'K' certification refers to an anti-scratch coating, and 'N' certification refers to an anti-fog treatment on the lenses, ensuring durability and clear vision.
Can these safety glasses be worn over prescription glasses?
Yes, these safety glasses are designed to be compatible with most standard prescription eyewear, providing an additional layer of protection.
How do I adjust the fit of the glasses?
You can adjust the fit using the ratcheted side arms to change their length and angle, and the soft TPR nose piece provides a comfortable, universal fit.
Are these glasses suitable for outdoor use in bright sunlight?
Yes, the smoke tint lenses offer protection from glare, and they also provide UV protection to help prevent eye damage from harmful ultraviolet rays.
What materials are the Portwest PS23 Peak KN Safety Glasses made from?
The glasses are primarily made from Polycarbonate (90%) with TPE (10%) for the browguard and flexible temple tips.
How should I clean the lenses to maintain their anti-fog and anti-scratch properties?
Clean lenses with a soft microfiber cloth and mild soap with water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or alcohol, as these can damage the coatings.
What is the purpose of the TPE browguard?
The co-injected TPE browguard offers extra protection against particles, impact, and helps to reduce glare by creating a seal around the upper part of the eyes.
Troubleshooting
Glasses fog up excessively.
Ensure the anti-fog coating is intact. Clean lenses with recommended mild soap and water. Avoid touching the inner lens surface. If fogging persists beyond the coating's capability, ensure adequate ventilation or consider a product with enhanced anti-fog properties.
Scratches appearing on lenses.
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods or materials. Clean gently with a microfiber cloth. Store glasses properly when not in use. The anti-scratch coating reduces the likelihood but does not make lenses immune to damage.
Glasses slip down the nose.
Readjust the ratcheted side arms for a tighter fit. Ensure the TPR nose piece is correctly positioned on the nose bridge. Clean the nose piece and bridge of your nose to remove oils or moisture that might cause slipping.
Discomfort from side arms or frame.
Adjust the angle and length of the side arms using the ratcheting mechanism. Ensure the temple tips are seated comfortably. The flexible temples are designed for comfort, but significant pressure may indicate an incorrect fit for your facial structure.

Care:
- Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, clean microfiber cloth to wipe the lenses. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and water, then rinse and dry with a microfiber cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or alcohol-based cleaners, as they can damage the lens coatings (anti-fog, anti-scratch) and frame.
- Storage: Store the glasses in a clean, dry place, preferably in their original retail bag or a protective case, to prevent scratches and dust accumulation when not in use.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the glasses for any signs of damage to the lenses or frame. Discontinue use if compromised.
