FAQs

Are these glasses suitable for all lighting conditions?

The mirror coating is best suited for bright conditions to reduce glare. For very low light environments, a clear or yellow lens variant might be more appropriate.

Can I wear these glasses over my prescription glasses?

These are designed as single-lens safety glasses and are not typically intended to be worn over prescription eyewear. For prescription needs, consider over-the-glasses (OTG) models or prescription safety glasses.

What does CE certified mean for these glasses?

CE certification indicates that the Portwest PW32 safety glasses meet the essential health and safety requirements of relevant European directives, ensuring a certain level of protection.

How durable are the flexible arms?

The arms are described as virtually indestructible, suggesting they are highly resistant to bending, breaking, and general wear and tear encountered in demanding work environments.

What type of protection do the lenses offer?

The lenses offer excellent side protection, UV protection against harmful ultraviolet rays, and are coated to resist scratches. They meet various safety standards for impact resistance.

How should I clean the lenses without damaging them?

Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or paper towels, which can scratch the lenses and degrade the coatings.

Are these glasses metal-free?

Yes, the materials used are 100% metal-free, which can be important in certain electrical or sensitive environments.

Troubleshooting

Lenses fogging up

Ensure the glasses are fitting correctly. Consider using an anti-fog spray designed for safety glasses, though this may affect the mirror coating over time. Proper ventilation in the work environment can also help.

Glasses slipping down the nose

The molded nose bridge is designed for a secure fit. Ensure it's positioned correctly on your nose. If slippage persists, check that the frame is not bent and consider a different model if facial structure is significantly different.

Scratches appearing on lenses

The anti-scratch coating offers resistance but is not impervious to all damage. Avoid wiping with rough materials. If significant scratches impair vision, the glasses should be replaced.

Reduced visibility in low light

The mirror coating is optimized for bright conditions. For work primarily in low light, consider glasses with a clear or yellow lens variant if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These safety glasses require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The PW32 glasses meet multiple international standards, including EN 166 1 FT, EN 170 2C-1.2, EN 172 5-3.1, EN 172 5-1.7, ANSI/ISEA Z87 + U6 L3, and AS/NZS 1337.1. They are suitable for use in various industries and conditions.

Care: To maintain the clarity and protective qualities of the lenses:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the lenses with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as they can damage the anti-scratch coating and UV protection.
  2. Storage: Store the glasses in a clean, dry place, preferably in their original retail bag or a protective case, to prevent scratches and damage.
  3. Inspection: Regularly inspect the glasses for any signs of wear, damage, or degradation, especially the lenses and frames. Replace if damaged.
