Portwest Air Safety Glasses

Product Overview

The PR12 Air Safety Glasses represent a significant advancement in personal protective equipment, prioritising wearer comfort without compromising on essential safety standards. Recognised as one of the world’s lightest options for eye protection, these glasses have been engineered for professionals who require reliable shielding throughout extended shifts. The clear lens design provides an unobstructed field of vision, ensuring that safety does not come at the expense of productivity or visual clarity.

Key Features

• Ultra-Lightweight Profile: The featherlight construction significantly reduces pressure on the bridge of the nose and behind the ears, preventing the fatigue and headaches often associated with heavier protective frames.
• Exceptional Durability: Despite their minimal weight, these glasses are built to withstand the rigours of a busy workshop or construction site, offering a long service life.
• High Impact Resistance: Engineered to provide a robust barrier against flying debris and particles, ensuring your eyes remain protected in hazardous environments.
• Ergonomic Design: The frame is shaped to sit securely on the face, providing stable protection even during vigorous physical activity.

Design & Performance

In the world of safety eyewear, the balance between protection and wearability is often difficult to strike. The PR12 achieves this through the use of high-grade materials that offer substantial impact resistance while maintaining a profile so light you might forget you are wearing them. The clear lenses are designed to be optically neutral, preventing distortion and allowing for natural colour perception, which is vital for precision tasks and electrical work.

The sleek, minimalist design is not merely for aesthetics; it allows these glasses to be worn comfortably alongside other forms of PPE, such as ear defenders or safety helmets, without interference. The durability of the clear finish ensures that they remain a staple of your safety kit, even with daily use in demanding conditions.

Why No Customisation?

As these glasses are classified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation or branding on this product. Applying print or embroidery to safety eyewear can compromise the structural integrity of the frames or obscure the wearer's vision. To ensure these glasses provide the maximum level of protection as certified, they are supplied in their original, un-modified state.

Use Cases

These glasses are an excellent choice for a wide variety of sectors, including construction, carpentry, laboratory work, and general warehouse operations. They are particularly well-suited for indoor environments where lighting is consistent and clear visibility is the primary requirement for safe operation.

Practical Advice

To ensure the best possible protection, always check that the glasses sit flush against your face to minimise gaps where debris could enter. If you are working in environments with high levels of dust, we recommend regular inspections of the lens to ensure no pitting or deep scratches have occurred that might impede your vision.

Caring for your product

To maintain the optical performance and safety integrity of your glasses, it is vital to clean them correctly. We recommend using a dedicated lens cleaning solution and a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid using paper towels or your shirt sleeve, as these can cause micro-scratches that will eventually cloud your vision and make the glasses difficult to use.

When not in use, store your safety glasses in a protective pouch or case. Leaving them loose in a toolbox or on a dashboard can lead to accidental damage and lens degradation. Avoid exposure to harsh chemical solvents or extreme heat, which can weaken the frame and reduce the impact resistance of the lens.
