- ANSI Z87+ and UV385 coverage supports both indoor and outdoor jobs.
- No-fog lenses keep vision clear during sweat, temperature shifts, and hard work.
- Slip-resistant temples stay put without pressure points.
- Impact-resistant, metal-free design adds shock safety for electrical and industrial work.
- Prescription-ready versions (+1.5 and +2.0 diopters) for workers who need correction.
We just launched our new SideArmor ANSI Z87+ safety glasses, built for airborne debris, daily impact risks, and long workdays.
With built-in side shields, anti-fog lenses, a secure, slip-resistant fit, and prescription options, they’re designed to keep your eyes protected and your focus steady from start to finish.
Why Do Side Shields Matter?
Built-in side shields protect areas standard lenses leave exposed. Dust, metal shavings, and other debris often enter from the side, especially during cutting, grinding, or outdoor work with bright light. The shield reduces reflection and harsh glare, keeping your vision sharp in variable lighting.
Flying particles are believed to be one of the most common causes of jobsite eye injuries. Closing side gaps is a simple way to lower that risk. These shields are part of the frame, so protection stays consistent all day.
How Do These Glasses Stop Fog and Scratches?
Fog usually shows up when heat, sweat, and cold air meet. Anti-fog coating helps moisture spread evenly instead of turning into droplets that blur vision. Clear vision means fewer mistakes, fewer wipes, and less temptation to take glasses off mid-task.
The non-prescription version of these safety glasses also features an anti-scratch premium coating, which is crucial because damaged lenses can blur vision, discourage workers from wearing their glasses, and lead to premature replacements.
What Keeps Safety Glasses From Slipping All Day?
Slipping glasses are annoying, distracting, and unsafe. These flexible, slip-resistant temple tips and soft nose pads gently adjust naturally to different head shapes, keeping the glasses secure and comfortable.
Because the grip comes from material, not pressure, glasses stay put during bending, climbing, or sweating. Less adjusting means better focus on the task, not your eyewear.
What Makes Safety Glasses Impact-Resistant?
Our safety glasses are impact-resistant because they use high-strength polycarbonate lenses and frames. These materials are lightweight yet durable, able to withstand high-velocity debris without cracking or breaking.
Meeting ANSI Z87+ standards means they’ve been tested to handle real-world dangers, keeping your eyes protected on the job.
Are SideArmor Glasses Shock-Safe?
Yes. The dielectric, metal-free hinge design eliminates any risk of electrical conduction through the frame. This is essential for electricians, maintenance crews, or anyone working around live circuits, as it prevents shocks or accidental short circuits.
By removing metal components, the glasses provide safe, worry-free protection in environments where even small contact with electricity can be dangerous, giving you confidence to focus fully on the task.
Are Prescription Options Available?
For workers who need vision correction, these glasses come in +1.5 and +2.0 diopter lenses. The readers maintain all the key protective features: built-in side shields, tough lenses, and slip-resistant temples.
The diopter lenses are not anti-scratch but they are anti-fog, so they won’t cloud up during sweaty or temperature-changing conditions. And because the side shields are integrated into the frame, you get full side protection without sacrificing.
Conclusion
Side impacts, fog, harsh light, and slipping glasses cause more problems than most workers expect. The real question is: how much easier would your day be if your eye protection actually stayed in place, blocked dangers from every angle, reduced glare, and kept vision clear all shift? That’s exactly what these glasses are built to do.
