Uvex S3160X Ambient Eyewear Anti Fog
These are by far the most comfortable OTG safety glasses I've worn. Right out of the box, they needed some minor adjustments, but that seems to have been intentional on the part of Uvex. They include easy to read pictorials showing you how to adjust the length of the arms, the bend of the arms, and how to remove the nosepiece (I assume for cleaning). I bent the arms so they'd wrap properly over my ear, and turned them in just slightly to prevent them from slipping. I didn't need any tools - just the heat of my hands and two minutes of patience.
As a senior mechanical engineering student, to work in the shop on our senior project, we are (rightly) required to wear safety glasses rated for impact at all times. I wear glasses and I have really struggled to find comfortable safety glasses that fit over my Rx glasses. The selection at the local big box hardware stores is dismal for OTG frames. Basically the only choice offered are the ubiquitous economy ones (MSA Safety Works 817691 Over Economical Safety Glasses, Clear) that every shop and lab keeps on hand to provide to short-term visitors. No one claims they're comfortable for regular or long-term wear. I wear small, nearly rectangular Rx frames - I find those MSA glasses stay on by putting pressure on the sides of my head - my nose doesn't even touch the nose piece!
These are great, affordable OTG safety glasses for those of us who can't justify or afford Rx safety glasses purchased on our own dime. They fit close to the face, but provide plenty of room for typical Rx glasses frames. They're easily adjustable for the perfect fit, and don't depend on pressure above your ears or scraping your frames to stay on.
The only way to improve these, in my opinion, is to put an anti-glare coating on the lenses. Although they're clearly intended for labwork (as opposed to outdoors), most shops and labs are lit by fluorescent lights with a lot of glare. As is, I give them a 4.75 out of 5. Thanks Uvex!

I got these for when I go shooting or for when I do some woodworking and they are my favorite safety glasses by far. Every other safety glasses I have worn over the years have been uncomfortable if not annoying. It helps that they don't weight a ton and don't look like a brick. They breath well and fit over my glasses nicely.
BalasHapusThese glasses fit well over my prescription glasses when I shoot. They are comfortable even when using electronic hearing protection .
BalasHapusThe UVEX S3160x glasses solved my concerns when I realized my sons where wearing there regular eyeglasses during airsoft play. They couldn't see anything 10 foot beyond themselves, so they just stopped wearing the regular shooting glasses I supplied them with. I looked into prescription shooting glasses, but at 80.00 a pair, quickly looked for another solution. The S3160x's were it. They fit nicely over their regular glasses and don't distort their vision. They are comfortable to wear, but have a tendancy to slip when running around. An easy solution is add a pair of Croakies eyeglass retainers. The are solidly made and don't fog up.
