MSA Safety Works 10021259 Straight Temple Safety Glasses, Clear

by MSA Safety Works

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

An estimated 2.4 million eye injuries occur annually in the U.S.--And more than 1 million of these occur at home. Up to 90% of these could be prevented through the use of protective eyewear, according to Prevent Blindness America. These unique safety glasses, from MSA Safety Works, the world leader in safety products, feature designer styling with high impact polycarbonate lenses to produce safety glasses that are both sleek in style and protective. The lens on these safety glasses is anti-fog, so it helps prevent fogging even when working in challenging environments--no more fogging when working hard or when hopping in and out of air conditioning! The lens also has a hard-coat protective coating to help reduce scratches. The ratcheted angle-adjustable temples allow the lens to be positioned up or down for optimum user comfort. The rubber-tipped straight-back temples are flexible so that they fit comfortably on the head, yet stay in place. The glasses come with a free pair of soft foam ear plugs as an added bonus. The glasses and ear plugs can be stored in the reclosable plastic clamshell for protection when not in use.

5.0 out of 5 stars This really is a must have, Once you realize....., August 18, 2004

This really is a must have once you realize the job that they do, and how uniquely they do it. Like many others I have been going to my local home center and buying clear plastic throw away lenses. All to quickly they are thrown away. The problem is many fold. They fog up, they scratch up bad enough to need to be tossed after what seems like a minimum number of wipings, and are they really "safety glasses". The MSA Safety Works are OSHA approved. They never fog up, and I mean never. With the cheaper ones, I can't tell you how many times I am in the thick of it, and the glasses steam up so bad that you have to toss them aside, just to see what you are doing. These MSA's don't fog up no matter how hot and sweaty you are getting. In August heat, in the middle of a tough job, I would stop and take a paper towel to wipe the sweat off of my face because it was beginning to burn my eyes, and the glasses weren't fogging even a little bit.
Their other big benefit is when wiping the dust off of them, I have yet to see a single scratch on the surface.
I bought these at the same time I purchased a pair of the safety glasses with the 1.5 bifocal lenses for about twice the money. My eyesight for tiny details has waned, I am over forty, and they enable me to see the 32's or 64's, or even the perfect hairline on the measuring rules. That way I can see the whole shop in total clarity, and when I need a little boost for the up close magnification, I'm there. Those are highly recommended as well.
I don't think their is anything more important, and more susceptible to damage than your eyes. Invest in the most important tool in your shop: You. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Bicycling, July 14, 2007

I commute to work on my bicycle. I have broken/lost/left behind several pairs of bike glasses in the past. These glasses, a cheaper alternative, have worked excellent. I rode in a 75 bike tour wearing these safety glasses and I never even noticed they were on my face. Although these are slightly less stylish than the more expensive sports glasses, the clear lens safety glasses are a good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good but there is a slight distortion..., August 15, 2007

I find these glasses are very comfortable and built with some degree of quality. However, there is some distortion near the center, but not enough to make it a big deal (for me at least).
