Scotchgard™ Protector Anti-Fog Coating technology. Applied to help workers see clearly, longer.

The facts are clear.

A fogged lens can be frustrating and dangerous. Removing eyewear to wipe away fog can expose eyes to potentially dangerous workplace impact hazards and debris. The Scotchgard™ Protector Anti-Fog Coating resists fogging longer than traditional anti-fog coatings, even after washing multiple times.
