Portwest Ultra Safety Glasses

Product Overview

The Ultra Safety Glasses in Amber are a high-specification choice for professionals who require reliable eye protection without the fatigue often associated with heavier safety equipment. Featuring a sleek wrap-around design, these spectacles provide a wide, unobstructed field of vision while ensuring a snug, contoured fit that stays in place throughout the working day. The amber tint is specifically designed to enhance contrast and depth perception, making them particularly effective for those working in variable light conditions.

Key Features

• Inclinable side arms: These allow the wearer to adjust the angle of the lens for a bespoke fit, ensuring maximum coverage and comfort regardless of facial shape.
• Integrated PC browguard: The polycarbonate browguard offers an additional shield against falling debris and overhead glare, enhancing the level of protection in hazardous environments.
• Moulded nose bridge: Designed to distribute weight evenly, the nose bridge prevents pressure marks and ensures the glasses remain comfortable during extended periods of use.
• Metal-free construction: By using non-conductive materials, these glasses are suitable for use in electrical applications where metal frames would pose a significant safety risk.
• Flexible temples: The temples are designed to move with the wearer, reducing the risk of pinching and improving overall durability.

Design & Performance

Engineered from a combination of high-grade Polycarbonate and Nylon, these spectacles strike a perfect balance between strength and weight. Polycarbonate is well-regarded for its high impact resistance, providing a robust barrier against flying particles. Despite their durability, the materials ensure these glasses remain an extremely light weight option, which is critical for professionals who must wear eye protection for hours at a time. The wrap-around geometry not only looks professional but also serves a functional purpose by protecting the eyes from side-entry hazards.

Why No Customisation?

We do not offer customisation on these safety glasses as they are classified as high-performance Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any modification, such as printing or engraving on the lenses or arms, could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the polycarbonate or obscure the wearer’s peripheral vision. Furthermore, maintaining the original state of the product ensures it continues to meet the stringent safety standards required for the workplace.

Use Cases

These glasses are versatile enough for a broad range of sectors, including construction, carpentry, and plumbing. Their metal-free nature makes them an essential piece of kit for electricians and those working in the aviation industry. Additionally, tree surgeons and mechanics will benefit from the contrast-enhancing amber lens, which helps in identifying fine details in complex work environments.

Practical Advice

To ensure the best possible protection, we recommend adjusting the inclinable side arms so the frame sits close to the brow, which helps prevent dust or particles from entering from above. Because of their slim profile and flexible temples, these glasses can be worn comfortably alongside other essential PPE, such as ear defenders or safety helmets, without causing excessive pressure behind the ears.

Caring for your product

To maintain the performance and longevity of your safety glasses, it is vital to clean them correctly. We recommend using a dedicated lens cleaning solution and a soft microfibre cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Using paper towels or clothing to wipe the lenses can cause micro-scratches on the polycarbonate, which will eventually impair your vision and reduce the effectiveness of the glasses.

When they are not being worn, store your spectacles in a protective pouch or case. Leaving them exposed in a toolbox or on a dashboard can lead to accidental damage or lens degradation. Regular inspections for any signs of pitting or cracking are also advised; if the lenses become significantly scratched, they should be replaced to ensure your safety is never compromised.
