Review on πŸ”₯ Scratch-Resistant Protective Gear for Firefighters by Sellstrom Protection by Joshua Mccall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great safety goggles for COVID-19. Here's a hack for those who wear reading glasses.

Glasses first, then my hack: GLASSES: As another reviewer described, these glasses have slots for temples so they are not 100% waterproof. However, this was very easy to fix with a small piece of foam rubber. The glasses fit my face quite well, which is pretty average for a European background. Flat and wide noses probably won't fit and there isn't much forgiveness (padding) in the fit. The lenses will NOT fog up even if you try to fog them up directly with your breath. They are very clear and of good optical quality. They are quite comfortable and easy to put on. They may not fit all masks, but there is usually enough space over the nose. In addition, the nose of the glasses can hold the rim of most masks. MY LIKE (see photo): I can't read without reading glasses and this pandemic is driving me insane. When I put on my glasses, I have to take them off. And I'm worried about getting infected by getting germs in my eyes. Never! These glasses seem to have a place to attach some sort of accessory around the nose and I used it to attach reading glasses. I made a cut in the elastic and tied a pair of Noble flat goggles to the mask. Specifications can be folded up or down. In the down position I get a tiny "bifocal" area at the bottom, which is fine for most purposes. In the up position, the glasses are in the middle of my field of vision - handy for reading on a computer screen. I had to make a small change to the specs: the bridge is a plastic spring that grips the nose. I had to heat the bridge very gently to soften the plastic so I could reshape it with the lenses in a "flatter" orientation. Overall I am very happy with the glasses and glad that I have the glasses now. I can use it without removing my personal protective equipment and risking infection! :-D
