Product Overview
The Extra OTG Safety Glasses are a refined solution for professionals who require high-level eye protection without compromising the use of their prescription eyewear. Designed specifically to fit over standard optical glasses, these safety spectacles provide a secure and snug fit that remains comfortable throughout the working day. They offer an essential barrier against dust, debris, and impact hazards commonly found in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features
- Over-the-Glass (OTG) Design: Specifically engineered to fit comfortably over prescription eyewear, allowing for clear vision and safety simultaneously.
- Polycarbonate Construction: Provides high-velocity impact resistance to protect against flying particles and debris.
- Secure and Snug Fit: The frame design ensures the glasses stay firmly in place during movement, reducing the need for manual adjustment.
- Wrap-around Coverage: Offers top-level protection from various angles, shielding the eyes from side and overhead hazards.
- Lightweight Frame: Despite the robust coverage, the materials used ensure the product remains a lightweight addition to your PPE setup.
Design & Performance
These safety glasses are manufactured using high-quality polycarbonate, a material chosen for its exceptional strength and clarity. The inclusion of TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) elements ensures the glasses grip effectively without causing pressure points. The clear lens performance is designed for maximum light transmission, making them suitable for indoor tasks where accurate colour perception and detail are required. The construction is focused on durability, ensuring the frames can withstand the rigours of a busy worksite while remaining a lightweight and unobtrusive part of your protective equipment.
Why No Customisation?
As this product is a critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation. Modifying the frame or lens through printing or engraving could potentially weaken the structural integrity of the polycarbonate. Furthermore, applying branding to the lenses would obstruct the user's field of vision, which is a significant safety risk. To ensure the product performs exactly as intended by the safety standards, we supply these glasses in their original, unadulterated form.
Use Cases
These spectacles are an excellent choice for a wide variety of trades. They are particularly beneficial for carpenters and construction workers who need protection from sawdust and debris. They are also highly recommended for electricians, plumbers, and mechanics who work in environments where eye hazards are prevalent. Those in specialised fields such as aviation, chemical handling, or tree surgery will find the OTG design invaluable for maintaining their vision while staying protected.

Practical Advice
When pairing these with your own prescription glasses, ensure that your optical frames are not excessively oversized, as this may affect the seal of the safety glasses against your face. For the best fit, position the OTG glasses so they sit flush against the bridge of your nose, ensuring they are stable before beginning any hazardous tasks.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of your safety eyewear, we recommend cleaning the lenses with a dedicated lens cleaning solution and a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Using harsh chemicals or rough paper towels can lead to micro-scratches on the polycarbonate surface, which will eventually impair your vision and reduce the impact resistance of the lens.
When not in use, store your glasses in a protective case or pouch. Leaving them loose in a toolbox or vehicle can lead to accidental damage from other tools or grit. Should the lenses become deeply scratched or the frames show signs of stress or cracking, the product should be replaced immediately to ensure your eyes remain fully protected against potential impacts.
