Sizing Information
The OX3000 Glasses are available in a universal size that should suit most users.
How Should Safety Glasses Fit?
Safety glasses are designed to keep you safe, and they need to be worn all day long for adequate protection against hazards. To check if your safety eyewear fits correctly, the weight of the glasses should be distributed evenly between the ears and nose, so the frames sit comfortably around the face for a light, barely-there feeling. In addition, the lenses should be close enough to your eyes that they provide adequate protection, but your eyelashes should not touch them.

Why is Polycarbonate Used for Safety Glasses?
Polycarbonate has a number of different benefits that are particularly useful for protective eyewear:
- Lightweight, keeping glasses comfortable and not distracting which is essential for proper eyewear protection all day long
- Impact resistant, since polycarbonate is ten times more impact resistant than regular plastics (making this a brilliant material for use with flying hazards such as in manufacturing)
- Natural UV protection, since polycarbonate blocks 100% of UV without additional UV coating - keeping the wearer safe from eyesight damage as a result of the sun
Scratch-Resistant Lenses
To ensure that your glasses retain their high level of clarity even after extended periods of use the safety glasses feature scratch-resistant lenses. This makes the glasses ideal for work that requires both protection and a high level of attention to detail.
Designed for Use with Ear Muffs
The OX3000 is intended for use in environments where hearing protection is also required. The low-profile adjustable temples have been designed to be worn in combination with 3M ear muffs.
