Most popular safety gear for warm weather jobs

Summer is in full swing in many parts of the country, which means it's time to start thinking about how to beat the heat during outdoor activities.

Whether you're working on a job site, tackling a home improvement project, or enjoying a day in the sun, high temperatures can be dangerous, leading to heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

But with the right personal protective equipment (PPE), you can stay safe and comfortable, even on the hottest days.

MEET OUR ONE-OF-A KIND SAFETY HELMET AIRFLOW SYSTEM

NO MATTER THE TASK, WE HAVE THE RIGHT EYEWEAR TINT FOR YOU

Don't forget about eye protection! Our eyewear offers 100% UV protection to shield your eyes from the sun's harmful rays, no matter the tint.

A standout option is our Variomatic lenses in our safety glasses that transition from light to dark in under 10 seconds, adapting twice as fast to environments compared to competitor safety glasses.

We have two different options of Variomatic lenses - Variomatic and Variomatic Dark:

 

 

Variomatic lenses work best in situations where you're primarily outdoors but go inside from time to time (or you're working before sunrise into daytime).

 

 

Variomatic Dark lenses allow in less light and work best if you're primarily outside on the job and working in intense sunlight most of the day, where the intensity of the light gets higher during various times. 

In addition to Variomatic lens technology, we also offer various lens tints designed to help filter light. 

Our entire eyewear line-up also has options for permanent anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings that are four-times thicker than our competitors. No matter your application, find the perfect amount of anti-fog and scratch-resistant coverage you need— exactly where you need it— with one of our four fundamentally different, permanent coatings.
