Full details

The Portwest PS28 Tech Look Pro KN Safety Glasses are designed for individuals needing enhanced eye protection with a secure and comfortable fit, especially in dusty or impact-prone environments.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these safety glasses suitable for welding?

Yes, the Portwest PS28 offers specific lens options like Bottle Green (IR5) and Green (IR3) which are suitable for use in welding environments.

What does 'KN' certified mean for the lenses?

'K' certification refers to the anti-scratch properties, and 'N' certification refers to the anti-fog properties of the lens coatings.

Can I wear these glasses over my prescription glasses?

These are designed as a standalone safety eyewear. While some users might find them fitting over small-framed prescription glasses, they are not specifically designed as over-prescription safety glasses. Fit and comfort may vary.

How do I attach the elastic head strap?

The elastic head strap attaches to the ends of the flexible side arms. Ensure it clicks securely into place for a firm hold.

Are these glasses safe for use around metal detectors?

Yes, the Portwest PS28 Tech Look Pro KN Safety Glasses are 100% metal-free, making them suitable for environments where metal detection is a requirement.

What is the UV protection level?

These safety glasses provide 99% UV protection, helping to shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.

How should I clean the foam gasket?

The foam gasket can typically be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching it to the glasses.

Troubleshooting

Glasses fog up during use

Ensure the anti-fog coating is intact. Clean the lenses with an anti-fog solution or mild soap and water. Allow for better ventilation by slightly adjusting the fit or temporarily removing the foam gasket in less dusty conditions.

The fit feels too tight or loose

Adjust the flexible side arms and temple tips for a better fit. If using the elastic strap, adjust its tension. For a looser fit, consider using only the standard side arms instead of the strap.

Scratches on the lenses reduce visibility

Avoid wiping lenses with rough materials. Clean gently with a soft cloth. If scratches are deep and impair vision, the lenses may need replacement (if applicable to the model) or the entire unit may need to be replaced.

Foam gasket is uncomfortable or causing irritation

Ensure the gasket is properly seated. If irritation persists, consider if the foam gasket is necessary for the current environment. The glasses can be used without the gasket using the standard arms for less demanding tasks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against dust and impact due to the foam gasket and strap.
  • Comfortable for extended wear thanks to flexible arms, soft nose bridge, and temple tips.
  • Variety of lens options available for different working conditions and specialized needs.
  • Durable lens coatings with anti-scratch and anti-fog properties.
  • Suitable for sensitive environments due to metal-free construction.

Cons

  • The secure fit provided by the strap might feel too tight for users with larger head sizes.
  • Foam gasket, while protective, may reduce airflow, potentially leading to fogging in very humid conditions if not properly maintained.
  • Specific lens tints (e.g., IR3, IR5) may limit visibility in general lighting conditions.
  • Retail packaging, while good for display, is extra material for industrial use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose Your Fit: Decide whether to use the glasses with the standard flexible side arms or attach the wide elastic band. The elastic band attaches securely to the ends of the side arms.
  2. Adjust for Comfort: Ensure the glasses sit comfortably on your nose bridge and that the side arms or elastic band provide a snug, secure fit without excessive pressure.

Compatibility:

  • These glasses are designed to fit most head sizes, but the adjustable features (temple tips, nose bridge, elastic strap) allow for personalization.
  • The metal-free design makes them compatible with environments requiring metal detection screening.
  • Available lens tints (Clear, Smoke, Amber, Mirror, Green, Bottle Green, Red) are compatible with specific tasks, from general use to welding and laser work.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean lenses regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Storage: Store the safety glasses in a clean, dry place, preferably in a protective case or the original retail bag, to prevent scratches and damage.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the foam gasket and elastic strap for wear and tear. Replace if damaged to maintain optimal protection.
