Safety Eyewear Fit And Sizing Guide
Safety eyewear should never be treated as one size fits all solution. Simply wearing any generic pair of safety eyewear – though the possibility of an injury decreases – it may not be enough. If your eyewear fits poorly or incorrectly, you’re putting yourself at a higher risk for injury.
For proper fit and size options, HexArmor® has you covered. Our German-engineered dual-injection mold technology allows us to combine soft and hard components into flex frames – thereby increasing the comfort and durability of the eyewear, all while being highly adaptive to most face widths or shapes. The best safety eyewear is the eyewear that’s worn – and our line innovative, industry-leading safety eyewear takes Wearability®, protection, and compliance to the next level.
To find a pair of safety eyewear that’s right for you, we recommend using our fit guide and reviewing eyewear descriptions and materials.
When it comes to fit...
1 There should be no uncomfortable pressure points on the side of the head or behind the ears.
2 The nose piece should be comfortable and contact your nose without pinching.
3 You should be able to see in all directions without major obstruction.
4 The overall weight of your safety eyewear should be evenly distributed between your ears and your nose so that frames sit comfortably on your face without distracting from tasks.
5 Frames should fit close to the face without hitting your eyelashes, with space between frames and your face being less than a pencil width. Gaps of less than or equal to 6-8mm are preferred.
6 Lenses should cover eyebrow and any soft tissue around it.
7 Eyewear should stay in place when you move your head front to back and side to side.
8 If wearing head protection with safety eyewear, make sure to try both on at the same time to make sure they do not interfere with each other.
When it comes to size...
Many factors go into properly fitting eyewear to match facial structure as mentioned above, but HexArmor® does offer different frame widths that assist in fit testing if the safety eyewear is not present. Please note that we do not carry “small, medium, or large” but rather build our safety eyewear families to accommodate a range of face sizes.
Though knowing your eyewear width is a great starting point, HexArmor® recommends following our fit testing guidelines above to get your proper pair.
