Product Information
Full details
These Portwest Safety Glasses are designed for professionals who require reliable eye protection with a focus on comfort and durability. Their key benefit lies in the flexible, wrap-around design and specialized lens coatings, ensuring a secure fit and clear vision in various conditions. A potential caveat is the metal-free construction, which, while beneficial for certain environments, might be a consideration for those needing magnetic compatibility. The glasses offer a lightweight, stylish solution with features like co-injected temples and a rubber nose-bridge for extended wear.

FAQs
Are these glasses suitable for all types of industrial work?
These glasses are suitable for many industrial applications requiring eye protection. However, their metal-free construction might not be ideal for environments with specific electrostatic discharge (ESD) requirements or where metal components are mandated for safety.
Can I wear these over my prescription glasses?
These safety glasses are designed as a standalone eyewear product. They are generally not designed to fit comfortably or securely over most prescription glasses. Please check for specific 'over-the-glasses' models if needed.
How long do the anti-scratch and anti-fog coatings last?
The durability of the KN certified coatings depends on usage and care. Regular cleaning with appropriate materials helps maintain their effectiveness. Heavy abrasion or exposure to harsh chemicals can reduce their lifespan.
What does UV400 protection mean?
UV400 protection means the lenses block virtually all harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, up to a wavelength of 400 nanometers, helping to prevent long-term eye damage.
Are these glasses certified for safety standards?
Yes, the Portwest Safety Glasses are CE certified and UKCA marked, indicating compliance with European and UK safety regulations.
What materials are the glasses made from?
The glasses are primarily made from Polycarbonate (90%) for the lenses and frame, with TPE (10%) used for flexible components like the temple tips and nose-bridge.
Can I replace the lenses if they get damaged?
These safety glasses feature a single panoramic lens integrated into the frame. Replacement of individual lenses is typically not possible for this design; if the lens is significantly damaged, the entire unit would need to be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Glasses fog up excessively.
Ensure the glasses are clean. Verify that the anti-fog coating is intact. For very humid environments, consider additional anti-fog solutions or wipes designed for safety eyewear.
Poor fit or slippage.
Adjust the position on the nose bridge and ensure the flexible arms are comfortably seated. The soft temple tips should provide grip; if they feel loose, check for damage.
Scratches on the lens impair vision.
While the lenses have anti-scratch properties, they can still be scratched by sharp objects or abrasive materials. Inspect the lens for damage. If scratches significantly impair vision, replacement may be necessary.
Discomfort during prolonged wear.
Ensure the glasses are properly adjusted. Check that the flexible arms are not exerting too much pressure and that the nose-bridge is centered. Try repositioning them slightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These safety glasses require no setup. They are ready to wear directly out of the packaging. Ensure they are properly positioned on your face for optimal comfort and protection.
Compatibility: The wrap-around, panoramic lens design is intended to fit most head sizes. However, they are designed to be worn alone and may not be compatible with prescription eyewear unless prescription inserts are specifically available and fitted. The metal-free nature makes them suitable for use in environments sensitive to metal.
Care: To maintain the integrity of the lens coatings and frame, clean the glasses regularly. Use a soft, damp cloth or a microfiber cleaning cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or rough materials, as these can damage the anti-scratch and anti-fog properties. Store the glasses in a dry place, preferably in their original retail bag or a protective case, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
