Fogging is the #1 hazard when it comes to safety eyewear. This is largely due in part to the way that safety glasses fit - close to your face. The low profile is necessary to keep out dust, debris, and other hazards from getting into your eyes, but oftentimes this close fit can trap moisture inside, causing fogging issues.
A lot of safety eyewear brands have developed solutions for fogging that work well… until you clean them. Where these brands fail is in the longevity of their anti-fog performance. Because their anti-fog coatings are detergent-based, after just a few washes, the coatings completely wash off.
Each coating delivers a specific range of protection, so how you choose the coating you need depends on the environment you’re in and the activity you’re engaging in. Whether you’re tending to your lawn on a hot summer day or working through a DIY project in the garage, we have a coating for you.
TruShield®
Best for: Fogging from body heat and potentially dirty environments
Our signature coating, TruShield®, is a multipurpose dual coating that’s suitable for most environments, both indoor and outdoor. TruShield® lenses have permanent anti-fog on the interior of the lens that will not wash off and a scratch-resistant hard coat on the exterior of the lens. Shop TruShield® eyewear here.
Exterior lens: Scratch resistance
Interior lens: Anti-fog
The following three coatings are for very specific activities and environments that call for different formulations of protection.
TruShield®2F
Best for: Hot to cold temperature transitions
TruShield®2F dual-coated lenses are ideal for moderately dirty environments where you could be transitioning from cold to hot or hot to cold. If you are constantly moving from an air-conditioned house to the summer heat outside, this coating will work well for you.
