Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Safety Glasses - PS35 are designed for professionals needing lightweight eye protection for extended wear. Their primary benefit is exceptional comfort due to their ultra-lightweight, metal-free design, allowing for pressure-free all-day use. A potential caveat is the single-piece lens which may not suit all face shapes or provide coverage for all types of debris. Key features include a wrap-around single panoramic lens, a molded nose bridge, slim temples compatible with ear defenders, and polycarbonate lenses with anti-scratch and UV protection.

FAQs

Are these glasses suitable for construction sites?

Yes, they provide basic protection against impact and UV rays, suitable for general site tasks. However, for high-risk construction activities, ensure they meet specific site safety requirements.

Can I wear these with prescription glasses?

No, these are designed as standalone safety glasses and are not intended to be worn over prescription eyewear. Consider over-the-glasses (OTG) models if prescription correction is needed.

What level of impact protection do these offer?

The polycarbonate lenses offer impact resistance suitable for general industrial use. They meet CE certification standards but may not be rated for heavy-duty or high-velocity impact protection.

How do I clean the anti-scratch coating?

Clean the lenses gently with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the anti-scratch coating over time.

Are these glasses suitable for chemical splash protection?

These glasses are primarily designed for impact and UV protection. They do not offer sealed protection and are not recommended for environments with chemical splash hazards.

What does '100% Metal Free' mean?

It means that no metal components, such as screws, hinges, or frames, are used in the construction of the glasses. This is beneficial for electrical work or environments with metal detectors.

What is the UV protection rating?

The glasses provide 99% UV protection, helping to shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation.

Troubleshooting

Glasses fog up during use.

Ensure adequate ventilation in the work environment. Clean the lenses with an anti-fog solution or wipe specifically designed for safety glasses. Allow glasses to acclimate to room temperature before wearing if moving from a cold to a warm environment.

The fit feels loose or slips down.

While not adjustable, ensure the nose bridge sits comfortably. If the fit is consistently problematic, consider if a different model with adjustable features would be more suitable for your facial structure.

Scratches appear on the lens.

Avoid placing glasses lens-down on surfaces. Use a soft cloth for cleaning and store in a protective case. Minor scratches may affect visibility and protective qualities; consider replacement if significant.

The glasses feel uncomfortable after prolonged wear.

Ensure the slim temples are not digging into the head. If discomfort persists, try adjusting the position slightly on the face. If the issue is due to pressure on the nose, check that the molded nose bridge is correctly seated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight for comfortable extended wear.
  • Metal-free construction suitable for various work environments.
  • Wide panoramic view enhances situational awareness.
  • Slim temples are compatible with other PPE like ear defenders.
  • Durable polycarbonate lenses with anti-scratch and UV protection.

Cons

  • Single-piece lens may not offer a perfect fit for all users.
  • Limited ventilation could lead to fogging in humid conditions.
  • Wrap-around design might not fully protect against fine dust from all angles.
  • No adjustable features for a customized fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Portwest PS35 safety glasses require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: These glasses are designed to be compatible with other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), particularly ear defenders, due to their slim temple arms. Their metal-free design makes them suitable for environments with metal detectors or where static electricity is a concern.

Care: To maintain the optical clarity and protective qualities:

  1. Cleaning: Clean lenses with a soft, damp cloth or a lens-cleaning wipe. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the anti-scratch coating.
  2. Storage: Store the glasses in a clean, dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a protective case, to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
  3. Inspection: Regularly inspect the glasses for any signs of damage, such as cracks or deep scratches, especially on the lenses. Discontinue use if compromised.
