Product Overview
The PW13 Clear View Safety Glasses are engineered for those who require uncompromised visibility alongside robust protection. Featuring a streamline, wrap-around design, these glasses provide excellent coverage that contours to the face, ensuring that the wearer is shielded from airborne debris without sacrificing style or comfort. Constructed from high-quality polycarbonate, they offer a tough exterior while remaining remarkably light, making them an essential addition to any professional’s protective equipment inventory.
Key Features
- Ultra-Lightweight Construction: The minimalist design ensures that the glasses remain comfortable during extended shifts, reducing pressure on the bridge of the nose and behind the ears.
- Wrap-Around Streamline Design: This ergonomic shape provides a secure fit and offers additional side protection, which is vital in environments with lateral hazards.
- Panoramic View: The wide-angle lens allows for an unobstructed field of vision, ensuring you can maintain full awareness of your surroundings at all times.
- Polycarbonate Material: Known for its high impact resistance, the polycarbonate lens provides a durable barrier against physical impacts in the workplace.
Design & Performance
The design of the PW13 focuses heavily on the balance between durability and user experience. The polycarbonate lens is specifically chosen for its ability to withstand significant impact while maintaining optical clarity. Because these glasses are ultra-lightweight, they avoid the common pitfall of heavier protective eyewear which can lead to fatigue or the temptation to remove them during a shift.
The streamline fit is not just about aesthetics; it ensures that the eyewear sits closely to the face, minimising the gaps where dust or particles could potentially enter. The panoramic lens provides a wide peripheral view, which is a critical safety factor when operating machinery or navigating busy construction sites. It is a piece of equipment designed to perform silently in the background, allowing you to focus entirely on the task at hand.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as printing or engraving, on these safety glasses to ensure your absolute safety. Applying inks or heat treatments to polycarbonate can potentially weaken the structural integrity of the lens or the frame, which might compromise the impact resistance. Furthermore, any branding on the lens could obstruct the panoramic view that is central to the safety performance of this product. We prioritise your protection and the maintenance of safety standards above all else.
Use Cases
- Construction and Carpentry: Ideal for protecting against sawdust and flying fragments during drilling or cutting operations.
- Mechanical and Engineering: Perfect for automotive work where fluid splashes or metallic filings are a constant risk.
- Electrical and Plumbing: Provides essential eye protection when working in tight spaces or overhead where debris may fall.
- Painting and Decorating: Shields the eyes from paint splatter and sanding dust while ensuring clear visibility for precision work.

Practical Advice
To ensure maximum protection, always check that the glasses fit snugly against your temples and that there are no significant gaps around the eyes. If you are wearing these alongside a respiratory mask or ear defenders, ensure the arms of the glasses do not break the seal of your other protective equipment. While they are designed to be tough, polycarbonate can still be scratched if handled poorly, so we recommend keeping them in a protective pouch when not in use.
Caring for your product
To maintain the optical clarity and longevity of your safety glasses, it is vital to clean them correctly. We recommend rinsing the lenses under cool water to remove any loose grit or dust before wiping. This prevent particles from being rubbed into the surface, which would otherwise cause micro-scratches that impair your vision over time.
Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive cloths. Instead, use a mild soap solution and a clean microfibre cloth designed for eyewear. This ensures that the polycarbonate remains clear and does not become brittle or clouded. Storing the glasses in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight will also help preserve the integrity of the material for as long as possible.
