Dewalt DPG82-11C Concealer Clear Anti-Fog Dual Mold Safety ...
As I write this, I'm waiting for a goofy looking full-face shield that I know from work experience is best for me. I purchased a pair of the Dewalt goggles and a pair of Uvex S3970DF Stealth OTG Safety Goggles. I found that the Dewalt goggles aren't as comfortable as the Uvex googles and if you are going to be wearing them with a respirator the Uvex goggles seem to fit a little better. I got these because I wear perscription eye wear and needed something large enough to fit over my glasses but didn't want or need a face shield size safety goggle. If you are looking for a pair of quality goggles that are easy to clean, adjust sizes, won't be wearing with respirator and will only be wearing for short periods of time these will work fine. Goggles like the DeWalt's are better, as long as you wear them and they don't fog. Goggles with a fair amount of room under them, like these DeWalt's, can be good but are still a bit troublesome. DEWALT DPG82-11C CONCEALER Clear Anti-Fog Dual Mold Safety Goggle The options for people without optically correcting glasses of their own include all three schemes. Both are easy to take apart for cleaning and the Dewalt goggles are a little easier to adjust. They forwarded the e-mail to Radians (who happens to make these goggles for Dewalt). The replacement I got are the actual Dewalt (yellow) goggles. Most polycarbonate "glasses-like" solutions that fit over your real glasses tend to knock your real ones out of place easily: that pretty much ends the experiment. I wear prescription glasses being very myopic and sometimes it's an advantage while woodworking as I've got some eye protection already but not enough when construction debris is flying and woodchips and dust cover my lenses often forcing me to... Now the cheaper off-the-shelf goggles cloud up with leaky seals and the most common eye protectors are for non glass wearing folks only. Both seem like quality goggles and do a good job of keep dust out when I'm working in my shop or tearing out old plaster walls and insulation. If you want something that will be more comfortable for longer peroids of use I would purchase the Uvex goggles, only cost a couple more dollars. I was willing to pay for the strap but instead got a new pair of goggles. The customer person apologized for the inconvenience and without asking any questions send me a new pair of goggles. I bought a clear pair for the indoors and a pair of smoked lenses for out door stuff especially deck building if you've ever cut pressure treated lumber or cedar and gotten the saw dust in your eyes you you know what I'm talking about. If you wear full-frame glasses, my experience suggests that full face mask solutions are often the most workable. UPDATE2: So out of curiosity I e-mailed Dewalt to see if they sold the strap for a couple of dollars. While polycarbonate "glasses" with side protectors are good for major chips or particles, they allow a fair amount of dust to pass near your eyes.
