Breakdown of the Different Categories of Safety Glasses

Safety glasses have come a long way since their days as unwieldy plastic goggles. Fabrication innovators have introduced a range of lightweight alternatives to the market, so contemporary products can mimic even the most stylish specs. Those innovations become increasingly important with every passing year.

Industrialization is rising on a global scale, so eye injuries are more common than ever before. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health says that more than 2, 000 American employees suffer from eye injuries at work every day. That's a tough number to swallow, particularly since the second highest cause of blindness is occupational accidents.

Safety glasses frames and lenses are rising to the challenge through a new collection of lightweight materials and coatings. Anti-fog treatments and polarized lenses can now be added to any frame. Safety lenses can be treated to grey or blue tints, as well as polarized, glare-resistant films. Modern products can be cushioned, sealed, and fitted with flexible frames that are slimmer than ever before. Ultra-pliable flex frames and non-slip grips assure you of the perfect fit, and many designs can now offer as much protection as goggles.

Titanium Glasses

Titanium is one of the strongest metals on the market. Its capacity to bend without breaking gives it a tensile strength that's twice that of aluminum and half the weight of steel. It's lightweight and has a beautiful sheen. Our SG-403 frames are ANSI Z87.1-compliant and come in a side-shield-compatible design. For those who prefer a larger aviator design, we offer the SG-406T. It has a timeless top bar and raised bridge. Choose your favorite finish from our cognac and gunmetal alternatives.

Titanium Flex Frames

The Titanium Flex collection allows you to add a side shield to your prescription lenses. These frames absorb shock on impact, so they're perfect for the workplace. Pure titanium responds well to chemical processes, so it's easy to achieve the perfect adjustment pressure and spring. Titanium flex can survive the harshest treatment. It's a high-performance material wrapped up in consummate style.

Nylon Wrap Safety Glasses

Thick nylon frames create a middle ground between safety glasses and goggles. They stand up to the ANSI Z87.1 standard in a wrap-around frame that protects against side spatter. They have a barrel hinge and replaceable bridge, so they can keep your workers protected for years. Their non-conductive properties allow them to insulate against electricity. Shock boundaries are necessary for all levels of electrical work, reducing the odds of electrical discharge and resultant injuries during accidents. All of the nylon wrap frames on our list are made in the USA.

A2-110FS: Unisex sport style with a non-conductive seal
A2-120: Light, square, unisex safety glasses frames with an optional full seal.
