FAQs
Are these glasses suitable for all types of work environments?
These glasses are ideal for environments with particle impact, dust, and glare. For specialized needs like chemical splash protection or welding, different types of eyewear are recommended.
How do I know if the anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings are working?
The anti-fog coating reduces condensation when moving between temperature zones. The anti-scratch coating means the lenses resist minor abrasions during normal use, maintaining clearer vision over time. Both are certified and marked with 'N' (anti-fog) and 'K' (anti-scratch) on the lens.
Can I wear these over my prescription glasses?
The Portwest PS23 Peak KN Safety Glasses are designed as standalone safety eyewear and are not intended to be worn over prescription glasses. For prescription needs, consider prescription safety glasses or a different over-the-glasses model.
What does 'KN certified' mean for the lens coatings?
'K' signifies high-level anti-scratch coating, and 'N' signifies high-level anti-fog treatment. These certifications indicate the lenses meet rigorous standards for durability and performance in these areas.
How should I store these safety glasses when not in use?
It is recommended to store the glasses in their original retail bag or a dedicated protective case. This helps to prevent scratches on the lenses and damage to the frame and coatings.
What is the main advantage of the co-injected TPE browguard?
The browguard provides an additional layer of protection against particles, impact, and glare entering from the top of the glasses, enhancing overall eye safety.
Troubleshooting
Glasses feel unstable or slip down the nose.
Adjust the ratcheted side arms to a more secure angle. Ensure the soft TPR nose piece is positioned correctly and comfortably on your nose. If the issue persists, consider if a different style of safety eyewear might offer a better fit.
Lenses fog up despite anti-fog coating.
Ensure the anti-fog coating is not compromised by aggressive cleaning. Try washing the lenses gently with mild soap and water, then air dry or gently pat with a soft cloth. Avoid wiping vigorously. Condensation can still occur in extreme temperature changes.
Vision is obscured by smudges or streaks.
Clean the lenses thoroughly using a microfiber cloth and a recommended lens cleaning solution. Ensure no residue from previous cleaning agents remains.
Side arms feel too tight or too loose.
Utilize the ratcheting mechanism on the side arms to adjust the fit. Extend or retract the arms to achieve a snug but comfortable fit that does not cause pressure points or feel loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These safety glasses are designed for immediate use. Simply adjust the temple arms by tilting them to your preferred angle for a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the nose piece rests comfortably on your nose.
Compatibility: The Portwest PS23 Peak KN Safety Glasses are compatible with most standard safety helmets and ear defenders. Their design aims to minimize interference with other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Clean lenses regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Avoid using paper towels or rough fabrics, which can cause scratches.
- Rinse with clean water if there is significant dust or debris, then dry with a soft cloth.
- Store the glasses in a protective case or the provided retail bag when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
- Do not expose the glasses to extreme heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods when not being worn, as this can degrade the lens coatings.
