FASTCAP SG-AF-A510 Safety Glasses, Amber

 (30 customer reviews)

Recently I got hit in the eye while trimming my yard with my gas powered Ryobi string trimmer. After visiting the optometrist and spending a couple days with drops -- happily my eye was/is fine!!! -- I decided I've tempted fate long enough. Enter these safety glasses. My recollection of safety glasses is the dorky ones from 7th grade shop class. Forget about those, as these Fastcap tinted safety glasses look like very cool sun glasses. Now when I trim the yard or mow (I use a riding mower and grass flies like crazy -- especially when it is windy), I don't worry about my eyes getting whacked. Bottom line: These glasses fit well, provide me great protection, and they look very cool. And, the price is great. I am very happy and am purchasing a couple more pairs.

I work in a low-mid light environment and the amber lens glasses usually cost quite a bit. These glasses perform just as well as my old UVEX Genesis at half the cost. Fastcap glasses also fit closer to the temple and around the ear which is nice if you use heavy earmuff hearing protection like I do. The temples do extend and they LOCK UP SOLID. Mine haven't slipped loose from their setting yet, despite some hard hits and dropping them now and again. The wraparound lenses are not as distorting as some cheap glasses and my eyes don't hurt after wearing them awhile, but they also do not have the slight magnification effect that UVEX curved lenses have. The noseguards feel light and don't leave heavy marks after use, they also don't slip around even when the shop is hot and I get a bit sweaty. The Fastcap is quickly becoming my favorite glasses around the shop and I will probably buy them in clear lenses when it comes time to replace my clear glasses. They fit well under a face...Read more

I was a litte disappointed. Unlike many types of safety glasses, these will not fit over vision correcting glasses. The form fitting design has little clearance between your face and the safety lens. Also, the frame is on the larger side. For example, these glasses do not fit my wife well because she does not have a large head. Otherwise, they seem work great for working outside in the bright sunlight.
