Product Overview
The Anthracite KN Safety Glasses represent a sophisticated approach to ocular protection, combining a modern aesthetic with the rigorous safety standards required on a professional site. These safety glasses feature a lightweight, anthracite half-frame design that prioritises both visibility and user comfort. The amber-tinted lenses are particularly beneficial for tradespeople working in low-light or overcast conditions, as they enhance contrast and depth perception, making them a practical choice for indoor and outdoor environments alike.
Key Features
- KN rated anti-scratch coating: This specialized treatment protects the surface of the polycarbonate lens from abrasions, ensuring long-term visual clarity even in demanding working conditions.
- KN rated anti-fog coating: By reducing moisture build-up, this coating prevents the lenses from misting over, which is essential when moving between different temperature zones or during physically exerting tasks.
- Aerated temples: The flexible arms are designed with ventilation in mind, helping to manage heat and moisture around the eyes for improved comfort over long shifts.
- Soft rubber nose piece: This provides a secure, non-slip fit that reduces pressure on the bridge of the nose, ensuring the spectacles stay in place even during vigorous movement.
Design & Performance
Constructed from high-grade polycarbonate, these safety glasses are engineered to be exceptionally sturdy while remaining a lightweight addition to your PPE kit. The half-frame design is not just a stylistic choice; it reduces the overall weight of the spectacles and allows for a clearer downward line of sight. The flexibility of the temples ensures they can accommodate various head shapes comfortably, while the integrated aeration helps to keep the wearer cool, making them suitable for all-day use without the irritation often caused by bulkier eyewear.
Why No Customisation?
As these are high-performance safety glasses, we do not offer customisation or branding options. This is to ensure that the structural integrity of the polycarbonate and the effectiveness of the KN-rated coatings are never compromised. Maintaining the original factory finish is vital for ensuring the product continues to meet the necessary safety certifications and provides the protection you rely on.
Use Cases
These safety glasses are versatile enough for a wide array of professional applications. They are highly recommended for construction workers, plumbers, and electricians who require reliable eye protection. They are also an excellent choice for carpenters, mechanics, and tree surgeons, particularly when working in environments where enhanced contrast from the amber lens can improve precision and safety.

Practical Advice
When selecting safety glasses, ensure they fit snugly against the face without leaving large gaps that could allow debris to enter. The flexible temples on this model allow for a bespoke-feeling fit, but we always suggest testing them with your other PPE, such as ear defenders or hard hats, to ensure complete compatibility.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of the KN-rated coatings, it is essential to clean your safety glasses correctly. We recommend using a dedicated lens cleaning solution and a soft microfibre cloth. Using abrasive materials like paper towels or your shirt sleeve can cause micro-scratches that will eventually degrade the anti-fog and anti-scratch properties of the lens.
When the spectacles are not in use, they should be stored in a protective case or pouch. Leaving them loose in a toolbox or exposed to direct, intense sunlight can lead to unnecessary wear and tear on the frame and lenses, potentially shortening the lifespan of your protective eyewear.
